Castello Banfi - Il Borgo

This is a lovely and intimate hotel. We spent three nights in a Suite and enjoyed every minute. As others have noted the staff are lovely and gracious. Reception was great, restaurant staff, sommelier went above and beyond, breakfast staff, guy that got the bikes, people cleaning the room. Everyone. The other part that is really nice is it's a very intimate hotel. It never felt crowded and they maintain a separation from those just coming to dine or do a tasting. We loved do a short morning bike ride, having breakfast and then lounging by the pool with only a handful of others around. Great choice for a relaxing vacation, lots of wine and good food.

Front Desk: 5/5 Bathroom: 5/5 Housekeeping: 5/5 Ammenties: 4/5 Room: 5/5 (jr suite) Location: 4/5 What a wonderful hotel, true 5 star service from staff and the property is breath-taking. Room was well designed with plenty of space including a massive bathroom (note this was a suite). Staff was so helpful in providing anything we needed and coordinating transfers and other services. 2 restaurants: 1 fancy, 1 more casual. Provided enough variation so you didn't have to eat at the same place every night. Location is great for tuscan countryside but note there isn't much around so not convenient in terms of proximity to closest town but you're in the countryside for a reason so should expect as much.

We came here for the winery tour + lunch. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous and the castle and trees were so picturesque! We started the tour with a quick intro and a look at the balsamic fermenting room, then drove 5 min to the cellars for the remainder of the tour before heading back to the restaurant for lunch. The tour was so interesting and the cellar was very cool. The barrels are huge! The lunch food was also very good and the balsamic and wine are top notch as well. We came with our 7mo baby and it wasn’t too difficult for us. They had a nice family washroom with a changing table, and provided us with a Tripp Trapp high chair during lunch.

spent over 200 euros and no wine tasting. do not be conned by the 11am tour. they force you to get the wine pairing over lunch for the price of a bottle of wine. do not do the 11am tour. waste of money.

Incredible experience. Stayed just one night during my holiday, and had dinner and lunch at the Taverna restaurant. The property is beautiful. The food, wine and staff were all excellent. Highly recommend.
