Stay here!

I was a little hesitant about staying outside a "major city," but I'm so glad we did. Very cute hotel and room. It was a short walk to the local town, which had lots of options for dinner and chianti tasting.

I asked at checkin for resources about wine tours etc., I was told to go to the town square to find out information on my own. The bathroom was extremely old and extremely small. The shower tap would not move, it was cold for the first 5 mins then scolding hot. No other options to move it. No AC No screens on windows. Not a great experience for a 3 star.

Romantic honeymoon.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel during our honeymoon, in Italy. From the moment we walked in, the service was amazing and was extremely comfortable. It is a short walk into town and very romantic. We highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely Inn in Tuscan countryside.

We found this to be a wonderful, welcoming, place to stay, in an ancient home, within walking distance of art, museum, ruins, restaurants and more. Also quite reasonably priced.

Nice rural setting

We stayed here because we wanted to be in a rural setting and close to town and both were accommodated . The town was gorgeous, lots of nice places to eat and shop. Castellina in Chianti is a place you don't want to miss.

Very nice historic hotel in a beautiful village

The hotel is in a very old stone structure just at the edge of Castellina, which is a small but very beautiful village located at the top of one of the highest mountains in Chianti. Don't expect a lot of big-city attractions, but if you like good food, good views, nice people and a very nice room, this is a great place.

castellina in chianti

the albergo is walking distance to cute castellina town center. some pretty good restaurants suggested. we were surprised to see that the "wine mark up" in restaurants is low i.e. just try some of these excellent chiantis without blowing your credit card... - rooms ok parking on the premises - one deception : poor breakfast+

Perfect location

Great place to stay prior to moving in to our holiday rental. Great location within easy walking distance to the town of Castellina and it's fabulous eating places. Staff very friendly and relaxed. Changed our rooms to ground floor ones, without prompting, when she saw our heavy luggage. Beds were firm but linen more than made up for this so we slept well. Breakfast was pleasantly adequate with no rush. Ideal start to our holiday.
