Ayleen United States of America

Stunning property, gorgeous views, lovely staff. we really enjoyed our stay here.

Amy United States of America

There are many steps and stairs, so be aware if you have mobility issues. Staff is very helpful. 900 year old castle has some great upgrades!!! We stayed in mid-evil tower suite, 3 floors. My wife liked the hair dyer!! Honor bar is very easy to get all your needs!!! Pool and jacuzzi are excellent. We were in Italy for Film Festivals and this was a wonderful experience.

Warne United States of America

It is a very nice place to stay. We loved the property, the surroundings (especially the hikes around the castle) and the staff was incredibly helpful. Really, they were so kind to us. The restaurant offers amazing dishes and a gorgeous view.

Kristina Lithuania

Absolutely GORGEOUS castle and grounds. The pool area is beautiful with a wonderful view. The included breakfast is delicious.

Joy Italy

Breakfast 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.

Katrina United States of America

It’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.

Xi China

Everything 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.

    The closest city is Florence. The nearby villages like San Casciano VP and Greve in Chianti are 10 km far from us. It's highly recommended to reach our propriety by car as in the area there aren't taxis or buses. The restaurant is closed on Monday.

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. I took over 20 years of management, I'm getting to know the place and the beauty that surrounds it. I am sure I will do a good job supported by the wonderful staff I found on site. Barbara
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.
