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.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
The Ultimate Travel Company created a completely bespoke trip for us. Every detail was carefully thought through. From handpicked hotels and seamless flights to unforgettable tours and local experiences, nothing was off the shelf. Just excellent, personalised service from start to finish.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
