Castello Di Velona Resort, Thermal SPA & Winery - Montalcino - Tuscany

Gorgeous views and wonderful service! We had the most amazing dinners with live music. The wine tasting was held in a private room with wonderful wine made in their vineyard. The water in the pool is so nice and warm as it comes from the springs! Don't miss out on the spa! I received the best massage with a view of the Tuscany countryside, which is so incredible we had to upgrade to the room with a view to match!

Me and my wife stayed there for our honeymoon. We had an exceptional time. The service was exceptional. The pools and amenities were very nice. Great breakfast. Located close to montelcino and many great wineries. Specifically, we really enjoyed the wine tasting. The entire staff were great but here are some standouts , We were helped by Kristian who made us feel extremely welcomed and Morris who performed our wine tasting and he was wonderful. Strong recommendation, great value.

My wife and I keep returning to this beautiful UNESCO property. ||It is uniquely perched on top of a hill overlooking the gorgeous UNESCO views of Tuscany and their vineyards. ||There is a pool, spa and spa treatment center and two restaurants on the property. |The food in the terrace restaurant, mostly traditional Tuscan, is exceptional as is the service. A large breakfast buffet is offered daily on the terrace as well. Their omelets are exceptional. The other restaurant offers seafood and on bad weather days, rather than outside, food is served in an elegant restaurant near the main lobby. Again, the food and service is exceptional. ||Days consist of chilling at the pool and spa or taking trips to some of the excellent local Brunello wineries for tastings. CDV also produces Brunello and delicious Tuscan olive oil which we have been purchasing for years. ||The entire staff and management works hard to please and accommodate your requests. ||We will, as in the past, plan to return.

I stayed in the Resort for few days with my family. First of all, I would express my appreciation for the kindness and professionalism of the staff. They helped us in any circumstance and they did their best to satisfy our requests. Having said that, I consider the service provided well below the expectations considering the price we paid. Indeed, we selected this place to celebrate my son’s and my birthdays, hence we were looking for a special place. Unfortunately and unexpected, the room was not well organized: there were no luggage stands, the windows didn’t have an effective obscuring system (the curtains are not enough), the fridge was to small and difficult to reach, the appliances are below the standard (only coffe machine, no kettle, no ice container, etc.), the amenities in the bathroom were below the basic that you can find in a 4 stars hotel. We had to call the maintenance often and even to adjust the air conditioning because no basic instructions were available. We also had a dinner at their restaurant and it was a very negative experience: the food came late and it was very basic, the prices are absolutely not aligned to the food provided. We were in Tuscany and we had much better food at a much lower price in the next days! The location is amazing but the solution is not “value for money”at all! When we left the location, I expressed all my concerns providing a detailed and frank feedback to the receptionist and the manager. As partial compensation they applied a discount on our restaurant bill and gifted us with a bottle of their Brunello. Next time I will visit this wonderful part of Italy, I will select a different location

I will be staying at Castello di Velona in just over 10 days and wanted to compliment the team on the amazing service in preparing for my visit with my son. I called the front desk and spoke to the most helpful young woman (I cannot remember her name). I asked about upgrading my room describing what I needed. To my surprise, she told me that higher categories are available but that the room I have been allocated is one of the nicest and given my requirements of 2 rooms, I should consider staying in this category. This bodes well in a world where everyone seems to be trying to get you to spend more. Thank you for this and for the restaurant help. So much appreciated. See you on Monday 14th July. Can't wait.

We spend every year a long weekend with my wife in a romantic and intimate place without our kids. My had chosen this plan last time. And it was a 100% perfect choice. All details were just great. Our room was spacious and smart with a great view of the Tuscan hills. I should say that the surrounding and the view were gorgeous at each part of the hotel. And the restaurant. No words which could describe the fantastic experience we had at all dinners and also at breakfast. Smart, elegant, romantic atmosphere, awesome dishes with an excellent Brunello and beautiful view. We spend our days at the pool which was also a great and relaxing enjoyment. Beyond all praise experiment!

We had a spectacular time in this fairy-tale setting! This vistas from all sides of the Castello are simply amazing. The facility is both unique and pristine and the staff is A+. In addition to the views, the superstar of this property is also the thermal pools and the food and wine selections. We spent hours in the various pools just soaking in the relaxation and the views. It was truly remarkable. The food was outstanding although not cheap - but the room prices were very reasonable so it balanced out. We loved this spot and can’t wait to return!

We had our daughter's wedding here May 2025 and all I can say is that it was the most magical 3 days any of us have ever experienced. We booked it sight-unseen on a recommendation of a friend of a friend who had stayed there once. The staff was absolutely incredible in helping us pull it together in 6 months. Every Zoom call showed how organized they were and we were kept informed every step of the way with updated expense sheets. We had most of the rooms (50ish people) which was so fun. | The Castello itself is nothing short of magnificent with views you cannot believe. The rooms were amazing and no 2 are alike. The mineral baths are enormous and continue on inside with sauna, steam rooms and hot baths tucked everywhere. The guests had plenty to occupy themselves with between events. The staff could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. |From the welcome dinner complete with a strolling accordion player, to the vintage Fiat delivered for the day for pictures and joyrides, to the ceremony on the terrace, to the sunset dinner and afterparty with fireworks, to the farewell pool party, nothing could have been more perfect. Their attention to detail and ability to make all the magic happen despite the weather and changes to the plan were incredible. It was really the little things that made it so special, like what we thought was just going to be some pizzas and salads for the pool party turned out to be an outdoor pizza oven with chefs hand-tossing dough and making each salad to order. |And the food. Oh the food. Nothing stressed me more than never tasting the food before having people eat it for 3 days, but I had nothing to worry about. To say the food was delicious does not do it justice in the least. Every single guest commented that they have never had food this good at any event - ever. I have petitioned for the chef to get a raise.|To quote the groom's 96 year old grandmother - "This is the best wedding I have ever been to, and I have been to a lot!"
