“Great tour and meal!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

I was here a few years ago with some friends and a professor. We did the tour of the property which was out of this world! State of the art machines and the a team that will only settle for the best. The meal was fabulous and left me stuffed for days, and I went home with a couple bottles of their best years. Driving around that area is just amazing, and I will be back again!

“Spectacular Too Weak a Word”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011
4
people found this review helpful

October 2011 marked our second trip to Castello Banfi Il Borgo and was just as special as the first. Perched on Tuscan hilltops, the historical Castello provides remarkable views from its immaculately landscaped grounds, which are, in fact, beautiful themselves. The rooms are warm and rustic feeling, with exposed wooden beams and stone, yet smart in modern conveniences and space. The food from breakfast through dinner is delicious and inventive and the wine, of course, first class. The staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, and work hard to make one's stay comfortable. Castello Banfi Il Borgo has defined hospitality for us.

“Truly Special”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011

person found this review helpful

Castello Banfi felt like a dream. It is a remarkable piece of history. The room furnishings were beautiful. The bathroom was incredibly large (so large that we were surprised it lacked a bathtub). Our meals were truly spectacular. The tastings menus were so special. Our first bite was tomato gelato - incredible! This is a truly romantic destination. Castello Banfi feels like the heart of Tuscany. I would highly recommend.

“Fantastic Property!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

We spent 2 weeks in Italy and our 4 nights at Banfi were definitely the highlight of our trip as we never wanted to leave. This is a fantastic property, with amazing, personalized service by all of the staff. The grounds are great and the views are awesome-from sunrise to sunset! we had a suite with a private coutyard, which was fantastic. The breakfast were the best we had in our 2 weeks. Eggs and omelettes were made to order- not the typical eggs in a chafing dish. We looked forward to our morning cappucino, which was hand decorated by Francesca, our fantastic waitress while we decided on our daily activities. The weather was fantastic and it was still warm enough to sit at the beautiful pool area. We had one meal in the Banfi restaurant which was quite good, with excellent Banfi wines, of course. We took the Banfi wine tour and really enjoyed this fantastic, and large, winery-and of course the tastings were terrific. The is definitely a first class destination and is worth treating yourself to if you are in the Montalcino area.

Rome was great and Venice was fun, but Banfi was the best part of the trip!!
