The Castello Di Gargonza is not just a hotel, but an entire fortified medieval village (4 stars) restored to its former glory, located between Arezzo and Siena, in the heart of Tuscany. This scattered hotel (Albergo Diffuso) formula allows guests to stay in the ancient farmhouses and rooms within the fortified walls, offering a unique immersive historical experience, far from the clamor of modern life and immersed in the tranquility of the Tuscan hills.
The rooms, suites, and apartments have been restored while maintaining the rustic and historical charm. The accommodations feature terracotta floors, exposed wooden beams, stone fireplaces, and antique furniture, recreating an atmosphere of a bygone era. Equipped kitchenettes are available in the apartments. All accommodations feature heating (essential) and complimentary Wi-Fi connection. To preserve the tranquility and authenticity, air conditioning is not available in some areas.
The village's restaurant, La Torre di Gargonza, offers cuisine that celebrates the authentic flavors of Tuscan tradition, with dishes prepared with local ingredients and garden produce. Breakfast is buffet-style, with homemade pastries, fresh bread, and typical products. The gastronomic experience is completed by the possibility of organizing wine and oil tastings in the castle's historic cellar, typical of the Monte San Savino area.
A large panoramic outdoor pool, located just outside the walls, offers a spectacular view of the Val di Chiana and is the ideal spot for summer relaxation. The village is surrounded by woods and paths perfect for trekking and walks. The Castello Di Gargonza is also a highly sought-after location for weddings, events, and meetings, thanks to its evocative internal halls and ample outdoor spaces that guarantee privacy and exclusivity.
Gargonza is strategically positioned for exploring the art cities of Tuscany: Arezzo is a short distance away, and Siena, Cortona, and Florence are easily reachable by car. The village offers convenient complimentary parking outside the walls. Bicycles can be rented to explore the area. The staff is available to provide information on the naturalistic and historical routes of the area, ensuring a culturally rich stay.

His Opinion: Forse, se posso permettermi, la sala colazioni necessiterebbe di una persona in più che controllasse che ci sia sempre di ogni cosa; torte, marmellate etc.. . Una persona che prepara i caffè e che si occuopa della sala non riesce a stare dietro a tutto e chi arriva verso la fine dell'ora della colazione non trova quasi nulla.
Il ristorante ottimo come qualità e servizio. Il posto splendido
Arrivederci a presto, torneremo!!!
Un'informazione: ma un banchetto di nozze con pernottamento che prezzo a testa potrebbe avere più o meno?
Cordiali saluti

His Opinion: We had a nice stay. This wasn't our first visit with you.
My only recommendation is to get some new pillows; they were terrible. Otherwise everything was very good.
Thanks
