CASTELLO BANFI Wine Resort is situated on the southern slopes of the Brunello di Montalcino production area. The estate is 16 kilometers from Montalcino, 50 kilometers south of Siena and 130 kilometers south of Florence. The luxurious rooms and suites of “Il Borgo di Castello Banfi” are carved out of the stone houses, built in the 17th and 18th century adjacent to the walls and towers of the medieval fortress, historically known as Poggio alle Mura, when it became safe to live outside the walls, but it was wise to remain close for protection. The historical fortress, known today as Castello Banfi, is hospitality center of the Castello Banfi vineyard estate which extends over 2.830 hectars. Guests are nurtured with special attention in a refined and elegant atmosphere, with particular care to details, typical of the wine world. The hallmarks of this enchanting destination are the cultural and food & wine experiences, hiking and guided estate tours, as well as simple relaxation.
