The onsite restaurant…

We truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful apartment in the Italian countryside. The space was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the surrounding property was absolutely stunning—peaceful, scenic, and full of charm. It was the perfect place to relax and soak in the beauty of the region. However, we would not recommend the on-site restaurant. One of the waiters brought my husband a bowl of onion soup, which he had ordered. After we had tasted the croutons, the waiter suddenly said the soup was actually meant for someone else. To our shock, he took the soup away—after we had tasted it—and brought it to another guest, who began eating it unaware that it had already been partially consumed. We were appalled by the lack of hygiene and basic service standards. Despite this very disappointing restaurant experience, the property itself was fantastic. If you’re looking for a beautiful countryside stay and plan to dine elsewhere, this is a wonderful place to stay.

The room was a little cold for me- this is a personal thing and I’m guessing when the weather is warmer this would be a bonus. The experience in the restaurant was the worst I have ever had- food and service were bad in equal measure. I wish I had never had this experience as part of the stay- it ruined an otherwise great holiday. I give this point of feedback in the hope that the hotel (we also gave the feedback in person- 15 of us!) can look into this point and ensure it never happens to other guests.

The property, room and location are amazing. It is very old so my review should be taken with that in mind. The room was comfortable and well equipped for my needs. The charm and beauty is Bragg taking. It oozes history and is not over renovated or polished.

The grounds were beautiful. There was lots of space. The rooms were rustic and quaint. It definitely added to the experience. The kitchen was great as we purchased local ingredients for meals. It could use more kitchen utensils but still managed to cook everything we wanted. The environment was very welcoming. Strongly recommend for first time visitors to Tuscany.

Beautiful location with great views

It's a little too close to the main road, you can not see it, but you can hear it sometimes.

We had a nice two-bedroom apartment with two bathrooms and a small kitchen under the roof. The rooms were tastefully furnished. We were here in September, and the temperature was fine. Three fans were available, and you could open the windows, which were equipped with mosquito nets. Be aware that there is no air conditioning. Parking and check-in were easy, and the staff was friendly. The overall castle-like feeling was very nice, but you have to like it. The best part was the pool – very clean and not crowded. The pool man came every day.

No air con! One tiny fan… it was sooo hot! Kitchen very poor, no kettle, no toaster, no toilet rolls, no daily cleaning and then everyone had to pay for cleaning on our departure! Expensive

Beautiful old castle, location, excellent restaurant

Stayed in July 2024

The kitchen was poorly equipped. The coffee maker brewed so slow that we joked about starting it the night before to get a full pot of coffee by morning. The mosquitos were ferocious. There aren't any screens on the windows, so beware!!

We were looking for an authentic rustic 'castle' stay in Tuscany. This place was perfect!!!! Traveling as two families of three. The three-bedroom villa was perfect for our group. This 14th century property is simply beautiful and steaming with local culture and history. The onsite restaurant (open for dinner only) served wonderful local Tuscan cuisine. We enjoyed lounging at the beautiful swimming pool at the end of our days. Very quiet and relaxing stay.

The rooms were lacking in much natural light, but that’s because it is an authentic castle. Rooms are self contained with limited assistance and no cleaning service.

A beautiful genuine castle with historical significance close to Florence in the Tuscan region. Just like the pictures. Large rooms, spacious and impressive. Beautiful gardens where you can get some gorgeous shots.

No breakfast or lunch available onsite and they had the evening restaurant closed one night during our stay.

Great experience all around. Loved it!

The castle has remained much the same since the 18th century, so don't expect a lot of modern creature comforts. You will need to provide your own breakfasts and lunches, and your own soap and toilet paper for multiple day stays.

Read the book on the castle (available at the castle)and you will appreciate the unique qualities of the castle. if you want to get away from the Tuscany crowds and experience a true castle with a long history, this is your place.

Maybe a plan with the photos of utility location.

Superb Tuscany location. Very quiet. Grand old building.

Very good location to explore Tuscany. Its not every day you get to stay in a castle!

It was a bit cold.

The ambiente was very nice. Such a lovely castle, that gives you a lullaby feeling.

It would have been nice if they offered coffee and a simple breakfast (bread, butter, jam) for those morning when you don't feel like walking or driving to Montagnana to get some breakfast.

The facility is very nice and the staff that wait on you are incredibly accommodating. Our room had a small kitchen and sitting area that was perfect for the two of us. The room came with a fan which we really did not need since we had screens on our window. Dinners were so much fun. The food was good and the setup allowed you to meet and talk to people around you. We met so many nice folks from all over the world and have made some friends.

A real Tuscan experience - the location and grounds are just beautiful.

Living in a fairy tale castle which felt like a genuine Tuscan experience. Beautiful views, grounds, rusticly decorated rooms, wonderful pool area and meals on the veranda every evening were so atmospheric !

Stayed in July 2025

Not good signage on the main road to find the driveway up to the castle. I also wish the apartment supplied a basic coffee maker and supplies.

It was simple gorgeous and I felt like I got the true castle experience.

The location was fantastic and this castle is magical!

The only thing that was a little glitchy was that GPS took us different routes to get back to the castle at different times. Check satellite map for the most direct route and biggest road, or you may get a little extra scenic activity ;-).

My second time at the castle and the first with my new husband :-)! What a lovely experience. The staff and owner are so kind, cheerful, and accommodating. They helped us find a great company to have a Vespa tour and wine tasting, helped us do some laundry, and answered our daily questions :-)! Especially helpful were the clear directions on where to leave our car near Florence to hop on the local rail to get into the city center. Super easy! They've added a restaurant since I was there in 2018. Amazing:-) Be prepared to embrace the experience. This is a thousand-year-old castle! It is rustic and lovely. Wonderful deep sleep in the countryside. The beds are very comfortable, bathrooms super clean, and depending on your room, you may even have your own private balcony like we did. Easy to get to Florence and all the beautiful surrounding towns. Perfect home base :-) We will definitely be going back!
