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.
