LUXURIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL
Castello Banfi is a luxuriously beautiful Tuscan fortress, surrounded by the rolling hills of the Italian countryside and a world class vineyard and winery.
Saunter barefoot across the broad, flat flagstones of the cool courtyard and you will be able to feel – through the soles of your feet – the people who lived and walked here hundreds of years ago. You will have a sense of their way of life too – the tiny stone hamlet that surrounds Castello Banfi-Il Borgo, with its charming little streets, winding alleyways, quaint local shops and picturesque square, seems to have remained unchanged since it was built in the 1700s.
At the hotel, you’ll find some things have changed. Not its historic Tuscan architectural style, thick walls, colonnades and tiled roofs, of course – but make Castello Banfi part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Italy and you’ll find the best of modern amenities in a timeless atmosphere.
