We spent two nights at this fabulously refurbished monastery during our recent honeymoon to Italy. We were upgraded to a lovely suite overlooking the vineyard. The detail and that went into the remodel was evident throughout the monastery including the rooms, the pool, and especially the spa area. The Spa was a big surprise. We had a great couples massage... More

Such a gorgeous setting, tastefully renovated with earnest, well meaning staff…but what utterly disappointing food…I’d have to say the worst food I’ve eaten since the all you can eat buffet at a Holiday Inn, (or was it a Ho Jo?) in New Jersey years ago. Let’s start from the beginning, we arrive at this breathtaking location and are shown our... More

My wife and I spent 4 nights at Castel Monastero, between stays in Rome and Venice, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The Monastery has a quite elegance that begs its guests to relax and be pampered. The location is classic Tuscany, set among vinyards, the remains of an ancient village and manicured, rolling hills. The staff are eager and willing to... More

This is a wonderful place, not so far from Sienna with an excellent service, food is good (Thanks Gordon Ramsey and his crew) and if you can afford it healthy care is great. Very good place to go, we satyed three nights and enjoyed massages and face treatments, there's even a church, makes you feel like you live in a... More

The location is beatiful but not close to anything. We did have a driver and visited several cities and wineries but we thoroughly enjoyed our time just staying at the hotel. We rented a small suite that overlooked the inner courtyard and the fields surrounding the hotel. The pools were great and there was even an outside excercise area that... More

My husband and I spent 2 nights at the Monastero in September after being in theTuscany region for a week. This is longer than I have ever written, but for someone to get the whole picture, I have to writte these details. The good: The setting is beautiful, in the middle of vineyards, the buildings look amazing. The reception person... More

We stayed in this hotel last May, and we were 6 adult family members. The rooms were unbelievable, and we cad a shared living space with a large couch & round table which was a really great way to be able to hang out in our own space, without having to be in one of our hotel rooms. The property... More

My wife and I stayed in that hotel for 5 days in August 2011. Unfortunately, I can't stress how disappointing this resort can prove for someone who expects to find themselves in a real 5-star facility (as advertised). Even though the setting of the hotel is lovely, its potential seems awfully neglected and you'll quickly find yourself confronted with odd... More

in a world of over promising and under delivering, the staff and facilities at castel monastero consistently exceeded our expectations!!!! Their warm friendly smiles will not be soon forgotten nor will helpful ideas and directions. The front desk staff was wonderful. The food and wait staff in the 2 restaurants were also excellent. We had the pleasure of meeting Gordon... More
