The magic of a castle nestled in the Tuscan hills: discover Castello Banfi's packages and enjoy a unique experience of wine and relaxation.
Castello Banfi: the resort in the Tuscan hills
Tuscany is one of the most sought-after tourist destinations for Italian and foreign tourists, especially for those who are looking for a relaxing weekend away from city stress or who want to experience close contact with nature, but without sacrificing comfort and good food. The ideal solution for visiting the land of Brunello and Chianti is to look for a resort immersed in the Tuscan hills.
Tuscan hills and resorts
The Tuscan hills are one of the symbols of this region, not only because the landscape is predominantly hilly, but because of the synergy that has been created over the centuries between man and the land. When we think of the Tuscan hills, in fact, the first image that comes to mind is not that of uncultivated and wild nature, but that of orderly rows of vines, fragrant groves of olive trees, cultivated fields and small villages, in a perfect blend of natural and man-made landscape.
And, amidst the beauty of the hills in Tuscany, there are agritourisms and resorts, excellent accommodation facilities that are perfectly integrated into the landscape, indeed, able to enhance it even more. One example is the Castello Banfi Wine Resort, an accommodation facility in the Tuscan hills in the village of Poggio alle Mura.
Castello Banfi
Staying at Castello Banfi means experiencing the magic of a castle without giving up the authenticity of Tuscany, waking up every day in an enchanting medieval village, strolling through vineyards and olive groves, delighting the palate with good wine and traditional food, and enjoying Tuscan hospitality.
The magic of a castle
Castello Banfi is a fascinating fortress built between the 9th and 13th centuries on an ancient Roman villa, in a privileged position between Siena and the Maremma. Tourists looking for a resort in the hills of Tuscany cannot help but admire this imposing and elegant silhouette towering among the green hills and cultivated fields, as evocative and fascinating as that of a fairytale castle.
And the atmosphere one breathes is that of a fairytale, making this castle the ideal destination for those in search of a romantic holiday in Tuscany. Castello Banfi Wine Resort, in fact, offers the possibility of staying in the beautiful Hotel Il Borgo, a refined and exclusive structure with beautiful rooms and suites furnished in the Tuscan style and equipped with all comforts.
In the old cellars of the castle is La Taverna, a characteristic restaurant where you can breathe in an atmosphere of times gone by and where you can taste traditional Tuscan dishes made even more authentic and delicious by the use of fresh and genuine ingredients grown right in the Tuscan hills.
In the shadow of the castle is the elegant La Sala dei Grappoli (starred) restaurant, where the authenticity of old-fashioned flavours meet the creativity and ingenuity of our chef, and where you can treat yourself to a truly unique culinary experience.
Lots of outdoor activities
Castello Banfi also has an 'adventurous' and lively side: there are many sports activities to do while staying at this resort in the Tuscan hills, and they are suitable for everyone. Those who want to be in close contact with nature cannot miss the beautiful horseback rides or mountain bike excursions in the Val d'Orcia, while those seeking relaxation in the shade of the castle can take advantage of the various massages that can be booked at the resort.
Golf is also one of the activities that can be enjoyed in the area. For our guests, we personally organise a day or half-day at one of the golf courses in the area, taking care of the bookings and organisation, and leaving the guests with nothing but the fun.
