Castello Delle Serre

I can't begin to say enough about Castello delle Serre and the hosts Antonio and Kaci. The facility is a gorgeous "castle" in an absolutely beautiful part of Tuscany that has been converted into a B&B. We were amazed by the beauty and authenticity from the moment we pulled up. The room we stayed in was very spacious and spotless, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the bathroom had a more luxurious feel and was very up-to-date. The pool area is amazing with incredibly surroundings and beautiful gardens. Just sitting out in the pool area was enjoyable, even though it wasn't yet warm enough to swim. Dinner is not offered every night as it was still a bit off season, but the two meals we had were fantastic! They actually turned out to be two of our favorite meals in Tuscany. When we didn't eat at the hotel, it was a short walk to local restaurants. While I can't say enough good things about the property itself, the real treasure was our hosts Antonio and Kaci. From before my arrival, they helped plan every aspect of the trip and mapped out an itinerary daily, which included where to park (which is the one part about driving in the area that intimidated me). We were convenient to Siena, San Gimignano, Cortona, Montepulciano, and several other gorgeous towns/cities. Our hosts also went above and beyond to help us celebrate an important occasion. If you're looking to get a real feel for Tuscany with a combination of beautiful surroundings, great accommodations, and outstanding service, this is your place!

The stay at the castle was more than just a vacation location, it was a wonderful experience...Come as a guest, leave as family!!! We were happy to be able to be part of one of the 7 day stay/ tours. The food, the wine, the surroundings, and the castle staff and family were amazing. We look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for everything - including recipes! Ariane and Matt

My wife and I visited in mid April for the first time. It felt like we were the king and queen of our own castle. The place was spectacular. Large rooms, incredible pool area, great breakfast (was included) amazing views and very private. Even more special is the way you are treated by the owners, Antonio and Kaci; they make you feel very welcome, like you are part of the family. They were always eager to help plan our daily adventures; listening, giving us recommendations and detailed maps to follow (car is highly suggested). This was such a great base camp for trips to Tuscan villages, nearby wineries, quaint restaurants (the best meals of our whole trip), and even a natural hot springs close by that was great for relaxing in the sun and taking in the views! This time of year is artichoke season and there is even an artichoke festival in a neighboring village, with live music, etc.! We will definitely be back and thank you again Antonio and Kaci for such an incredible experience. This stay is a must if visiting Tuscany!!

In a restored castle it’s a once in a lifetime experience. The owners are wonderful and take care of your every need. They have recommendations for touring, tastings and relaxing in Tuscany. I highly recommend staying here.

This is perhaps my favorite of the hundreds of hotels at which I have stayed. The property is magnificent. Unparalleled ambience. My room was nothing short of spectacular - one of the three nicest rooms I have stayed in. The garden is serene. Best of all is the amazing service from Kaci - who would text me suggestions throughout the day. I rate this hotel so highly despite some inconveniences. There really is no room service - but Kaci will get you delicious snacks and wine. The only walkable food are a couple mediocre restaurants down a hill in the village. But there is an absolutely amazing restaurant a short drive away. Just ask Kaci. Consider though - that despite these drawbacks, I still believe this to be perhaps the most enjoyable hotel I have stayed in. If you have the chance to stay here - and have a car - do not miss this gem.

This is my first ever review on Trip Advisor, but don’t think this review is from a neophyte traveler. I have a top tier status with one of the three major airline companies and lifetime elite status with the largest hotel company in the world. The only reason for writing this review is because of the absolutely fabulous time we had during our tour week at Castello Delle Serre. We have traveled extensively throughout the globe, as well throughout Italy – Rome, Florence, Como, etc. However, nothing, and I repeat nothing, compared to the week we spent during our weeklong tour with Salvatore Gangale and his family during the “Living the Dream” week at Castello Delle Serre. It was beyond five-star; it was absolutely “magnifico”!! Each day was filled with beautiful scenery, wonderful food, fabulous wines and lots of culture and history. So, if you have never been to Italy or if you have and you want a beyond five-star experience, book a stay at Castello Delle Serre. Even better, would be to book one of their tours. You will thoroughly enjoy yourself and will learn more about Italy – culture, history and culinary – than anywhere else in all of Italy!

Immersed in the enchanting ambiance of Tuscany, our stay at the castle was nothing short of magical. The owners embraced us like family, weaving warmth into every interaction. Their culinary creations and captivating tours elevated our experience, making each moment unforgettable. The castle's amenities were a delightful blend of luxury and history, while the beds cradled us in unparalleled comfort. A truly regal escape that surpassed all expectations.

If you want to have a true Tuscany vacation with the food, wine and sightseeing this castle is the best. A week of tours led by the best guide in Tuscany. It was like staying with a local family. The Castle location is a short drive to all the most popular towns.

This is an authentic castle from the middle ages transformed into a B&B. . The place is family run and there were always one or two on site to answer any of our questions. There were 11 women in our group and all of our rooms were spectacular with wifi and our own private bath. It does not have some of the amenities of a Four Seasons but the beds and pillows were comparable. The food was so delicious as is expected from an Italian establishment and there was also a pool and plenty of wine. The little town around the castle was cute and had eateries nearby. Salvatore (the owner) was great for explaining all about the towns in driving distance, and there were quite a few. We had a wonderful experience here and highly recommend the Castle for a great singles, couples, or family vacation.
