"Many of us have dreamed of living in a castle. After all, this is often accompanied by quite a few perks! Well, here at Oyster.com we all try to turn dreams into reality, so we have scoured Italy - from the countryside to the cobbled streets of the city, to find beautiful castles where you can actually stay. These six historic hotels are all housed within former castles, and therefore exude a regal atmosphere from the majestic facades to the ancient interiors." J. Reynold
Castello Banfi, Italian castles to stay in
Castello Banfi Il Borgo is an 18th century rural village built around the medieval Banfi Castle. The village ('Il Borgo' in Italian), has been restored and transformed into a luxury resort, and is part of a 7,100-acre property where high quality red wines are produced. The hotel's 14 rooms and suites reflect this heritage, and each has been named after one of the labels produced by Banfi.
Expect a rich character of historic charm throughout the property; picturesque stone buildings with wooden beams, brick arches, and terracotta tiles inside. The elegant swimming pool has breathtaking views over the vineyards, and there are also two restaurants, a wine shop, and a glass museum. For those wishing to explore the region, destinations such as Siena and Montepulciano are about an hour's drive away.
