The Castelletto di Montebenichi is an exclusive 4-star historic residence located in the small medieval village of Montebenichi, in the municipality of Bucine (AR), in the heart of the Chianti region. This fortress, dating back to the 12th century and renovated in Neo-Gothic style, is more than a hotel: it is a genuine private museum, where the only nine rooms and suites are embellished with frescoes, coffered ceilings, and private art collections of the owners.
Every room and suite has a unique personality, combining modern furnishings with antique furniture and pieces of art. All accommodations offer comforts such as air conditioning, private bathroom, satellite TV, minibar, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Some suites feature a two-level living room or kitchenette. The Castelletto is ideal for those seeking a luxurious, cultural, and absolutely tranquil stay.
The Castelletto is surrounded by a terraced park that offers spaces dedicated to relaxation, including an outdoor swimming pool with an adjoining sauna and gym. From the sun terrace and the pool, guests enjoy a superb view stretching over the Valdambra, the Chianti hills, all the way to Siena and Monte Amiata. Breakfast is plentiful and prepared with local products. Although it does not have an internal restaurant, the hotel collaborates with the village's osteria. Free private parking is available, and pets are allowed without surcharge.
The location of the Castelletto is perfect as a base for exploring the main Tuscan art cities (Siena, Arezzo, Cortona) and the renowned wine areas of Chianti and Val d'Orcia, while enjoying the tranquility of an ancient medieval village.

His Opinion: Excellent choix de résidence pour découvrir la Toscane, hors des sentiers battus, et pour se détendre la piscine est un coin de paradis.
L'accueil, la gentillesse du propriétaire Marco et ses employées sont remarquables.
Vivre dans ce château avec ses œuvres d'art, ses fresques, ses paysages vous donnent un bel aperçu de la Toscane sans "presque" avoir besoin d'aller visiter d'autres lieux...
