Autumn breaks in Tuscany: relais Castello Banfi at Montalcino

posted: Thursday 05 November 2009 by Giorgio in: Tuscany Travel in Italy

Not far from the picturesque village of Montalcino and the ancient town of Siena, there’s a lovely relais called Borgo di Castello Banfi; surrounded by green rolling hills and beautiful vineyards, the relais comprises several old stone houses which in the old days were part of the medieval castle that still dominates the valley; the place has 9 rooms, 5 suites ( all elegantly furnished) and a swimming pool with an amazing view over the Tuscan landscape; a three- night’s stay at this luxurious hotel will cost you 540 per person (1110 if you should decide to take one of the suites); the package includes delicious meals, massages at the wellness centre and guided tours of the wineries in Val D’Orcia.
