Absolutely GORGEOUS castle and grounds. The pool area is beautiful with a wonderful view. The included breakfast is delicious.
ItalyBreakfast was very nice and it was very enjoyable to eat outside. I do wish that it would have gone a little bit later for us late-risers.
United States of AmericaIt’s so peaceful and relaxing to walk around in this gorgeous vineyard, or to simply lie down by the pool. All the products here such as wines, olive oil and vinegar are of great quality. And living in a 1000-year-old castle is definitely something to remember.
ChinaEverything was beautiful and our room was great. Very peaceful and quiet location but very easy to visit all the hill towns we wanted to see.
United States of AmericaPerfection beautiful stay at a castle. Wonderful wine and oil tasting too! We were so sad to leave
United States of AmericaThe staff were great, especially catering for our late arrival, thanks Marina.
FranceThe location and views. Very quiet and peaceful.
United States of AmericaThis place is a little slice of heaven on earth! It far exceeded my expectations and we will return next year! The location was excellent (although you have to rent a car to get there because there is no public transportation that will take you up there) but it was well worth it! My husband and I went for our honeymoon and we loved every second of it! The views are AMAZING and the food was stellar! I would recommend this place to anyone. I cant wait to go back!
United States of AmericaAbsolutely stunning. With amazing views of hills the castle stands immaculately 'WOW'.
South KoreaThe breakfast variety was great; the common areas were beautiful; the grounds were picturesque.

One of our top picks in Mercatale Val Di Pesa. A historic castle dating back to the 14th century, the Castello Di Gabbiano is set among 100 hectares of olive groves and vineyards. The rooms come in a Tuscan Renaissance style. Florence is 14 mi away.
The property is a working farm, with trekking paths among the vineyards. The large garden is complete with outdoor swimming pool.
The rooms are charming and elegant, and feature rustic terracotta floors and wooden furniture. Air conditioning is available in the summer.
Breakfast at the Castello includes Tuscan specialties, and is served in one of the drawing rooms or out in the garden.
From April until November, lunch and dinner are available from Tuesday evening to Sunday evening at the restaurant 250 feet away. Wine tastings are organized daily.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

Host Info
Our property and castle go back to medieval times, and still today it is one of the most beautiful places in Tuscany. The castle is surrounded by vineyards and olive orchards and our guests enjoy the walks, runs or cycling on the property or the hills around us. They will also enjoy the sun, a swim or a glass of our Chianti Classico at the pool side or a wonderful meal in our gourmet restaurant.
I love my work and Castello di Gabbiano and spend probably too much time here. Whenever I have a minute I will ride my bike, go for a swim, try myself on the paddleboard or go for a nice hike. But then I wouldn't miss a fabulous dinner with a great bottle of wine.
We are in the beautiful region of the Chianti Classico with its rolling hills. Only about 30 minutes from Florence with its historical sites and museums and about 50 minutes from Siena. Our visitors can visit all the historial cities and sites of Tuscany in a day trip. For who enjoys wines, there are many possible winery visits in our direct region as well as Brunello, Vino Nobile or the Bolgheri area.
