Torrita di Siena Castle Hotels

"Lovely old hotel in the centre of town. Only negative is the lack of parking nearby. "

"What a beautiful place. Staff was amazing, so helpful in every way. Lovely breakfasts in the garden. Their bartender fixes some incredible cocktails and the one night we had dinner in the hotel restaurant, everything was delicious. A word of advice: If you’re driving, insist on a SMALL rental car. Cortona is full of tiny curvy cobblestone streets some of which you must drive through to get to and from the hotel. We were offered an upgrade to a Jeep with the turning radius of a semi truck and like the dumb Americans we are, we accepted. We cursed that Jeep every day spent in Cortona. "

"Authentic farmbouse with stunning Tuscany views. Peaceful beautiful region of Tuscany. Montefollonico had a decent small friendly grocery store and pharmacy is a short drive away. There are lots of towels and blankets. It was cold upon arrival and took a while to warm up the house as the heat was off likely for a few days at least. There is a charge for heat and hydro and the caretaker actually comes back out to read the meters and inspect the house. This was a bit of surprise and had never encountered this before. We were able to do laundry and dry it in the sun which was wonderful. The kitchen is well equiped but refrigerator is small and only holds a day or two of fresh food. You need to shop almost daily or every other day if more than 2 people. But that is the Italian way and saves on over buying and waste. Gabriella met us in town and we followed her to the farmhouse. She was a nice lady but spoke no English and we speak next to no Italian so it made it impossible to know what she wanted to tell us. I had spoken briefly to the owner by whatsup call and he spoke Enflish so felt we would just try to figure it out and call the owners if we had questions. We managed without help. We loved the quaint house and lots of outdoor chairs to gaze at the amazing views. Shady and sunny viewing areas. Beds were comfy, bathrooms clean and everything worked well. We are so glad we stayed here for 4 days. Wish we had stayed another day or two. It was a wonderful stay."

"Absolutely amazing property with its own very authentic style. I loved the attention to detail that went into the design and creation of this experience. Special thanks to all the staff members that made this experience unforgettable. Bravo!"

"Castello Banfi is a lovely place to take a short retreat in beautiful and astonishingly quiet surroundings. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, with luxurious linens. The pool was pleasantly warm considering relatively cool weather. The view is lovely. We enjoyed two excellent meals at the Taverna. The staff are gracious and welcoming."

"This hotel is one of the best we have experienced. The setting is beautiful, the room was very nice, the food was the best we had in Italy (and beyond) and the service is impeccable. The entire staff is amazing, but we wanted to point out the extra efforts from Paolo, Davide and Mikelo. Now we know why we met several returning couples to this property. We will return as well!"

"All around excellence. Great location. Clean and spacious. "

"Excellent location"

"The location is great, you have beautiful Tuscan view in front of yard. The room and bathroom are large, clean and modern with full kitchen. Good choice of breakfast, restaurant onsite is good for dinner. Free parking is good for travel by car."
