Of all the beautiful places we stayed on our Italy trip, this was, hands down our favorite. From the moment we pulled up, we were met by staff to take our luggage and drive us to the reception area for check in. We were greeted by a friendly staff members, given a tour of the property and information we might need for our stay. The property is breathtakingly stunning. Our room was absolutely beautiful and the perfect blend of luxury and rustic, Tuscan charm. The dinner we had at one of their restaurants was incredible and the staff attentive in the best way possible- while allowing us the time to savor the delicious meal, converse and just take in all the beautiful atmosphere. We booked time together at their Spa, which we enjoyed, and my husband had a relaxing sports massage. The breakfast in the morning had the greatest variety, attentive staff and quality choices that we have ever experienced. We can’t recommend Castelló di Spaltenna enough, truly a magical place, nestled in the heart of the Chianti region.

An utterly enchanting escape nestled within the Tuscan hills, Castello di Spaltenna perfectly blends centuries-old charm with modern elegance. The spa and both indoor and outdoor pools are wonderfully indulgent, complemented by serene views across vineyards and olive groves. The Michelin-starred restaurant, Il Pievano, delivers exceptional cuisine under romantic candlelight, while attentive and warm-hearted service adds to every moment. Each room feels genuinely Tuscan—stone walls, beamed ceilings, cozy fireplaces—all paired with contemporary comforts. Mornings on the breakfast terrace offer breathtaking panoramas that awaken the senses, and the immaculate grounds invite long, relaxing strolls. A magical, unforgettable retreat—we can’t wait to return.

The jacuzzi at the spa was inoperable at the time of our visit. And I certainly needed cleaning. Also, the staff was unusually loud in spite of the fact that there is a specifically written rule stating to keep your voice amplitude down, a whisper. The staff across the entire property was kind and pleasant, however they seemed to lack the type of training a facility such as this would require. Over all the property itself, and its views are stunning. Very quiet and peaceful. But even though the staff were nice, the quality of the service was sub-par. Even though there was a Michelin restaurant on-site, one would expect the quality of the food at the other dining areas to have been at least above average. This was not the case. Breakfast had what tasted like powered eggs, waffles and pancakes were served cold, but the rest of the offerings were acceptable. Every plate we had for dinner was served late and cold. Given the price, it should have been a more complete experience, not one with as many pluses as minuses.

This is truly my favorite place in the world—peaceful, beautiful, and filled with the kindest staff. I’m so glad we found it. I didn’t want to leave and joked with my family that I might just run away and stay forever. The location and scenery are absolutely stunning. We enjoyed fantastic meals during our stay—even though the Michelin-starred restaurant wasn’t open, the other dining options were exceptional.

We stayed here as a family of six, including our two 3-year-olds, and it was by far our favorite place during our time in Italy! The kids absolutely loved swimming in the pools and running around the beautiful property. It felt peaceful, safe, and perfect. The breakfast was lovely each morning—fresh, delicious, and a relaxing way to start the day. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of, which made the experience even more special. We only wish we had stayed longer! We would absolutely come back and highly recommend it to anyone traveling with little ones (or without!).

The property is in a beautiful spot of Tuscany. Not much around it, u need to drive 15 min to find restaurants. However the view is scenic, rooms are clean. Staff needs to smile, specially the restaurant and bar. The food that the hotel is just ok, the staff not friendly, they counted 12 euros for one scoop of ice cream and when we double checked they said it was correct! For a 5 star hotel they need to work on the food (we didn’t try their Michelin restaurant), their breakfast bar, their bar and staff!
