Castello Di Velona, Tuscany

Description: Castello Di Velona

Perched at the top of a hill and offering commanding views of the enchanting Val d'Orcia and the surrounding vineyards and olive groves, Castello di Velona is a spectacular boutique hotel set in a beautifully restored 11th century castle.

This property has recently been thoroughly renovated and extended. Rooms are now divided into two sections of the castle; the original castle and the new wing, which also houses the spa. The rooms in both sections are spacious, air-conditioned and feature luxurious bed linen, free Wi-Fi connections and mini-bars, among many other amenities. The en-suite bathrooms are supplied with bathrobes and complementary toiletries.

Castello di Velona is perfect for exploring this beautiful region of Tuscany. Biking and horse-riding excursions can be organised from the hotel, and guests can take part in wine-tastings of the property's Rosso di Montalcino, Moscatello, Sant'Antimo and Brunello di Montalcino wines. Going further afield, guests are within easy reach of the Abbey of Sant'Antimo, Pienza, Siena and San Gimignano.
