If I'm fortunate enough to visit Italy again, Il Castelluciio will be #1 on my list of places to visit...but this time for a longer stay. From the moment we set foot on this rustic castle/farmhouse located in a picturesque setting in the highlands just outside Florence, we knew that the 3 nights (14-16th Sep 2011) we had planned to...

Our travel agent booked four nights at Il Castelluccio five months in advance of our trip. They promised in their confirmation "incredible views" and the web site looked like the place was a palace. You basically are staying within a half mile of the A1 after driving around an outlet mall, and through a construction zone. The drive up to... More

Fantastic place to go. We've been there with the entire family: 22 people, from 3 To 73 years old. Grimaldi family, from Brazil. More

We spent 7 nights at Il Castelluccio in between stays in Rome and Milan. This lovely family run converted medieval fort is an ideal base from which to explore the Tuscan countryside, yet is only 30min by car from Florence. Turning off the highway at Barberino you need to go through a large new designer outlet (excellent for retail therapy).... More

We were a mixed group of couples and families traveling with young adults. The resort was our base for 6 days while we explored the region of Tuscany. Our hosts were gracious and whenever possible a very much appreciated mini breakfast (fruit, juices and breakfast snacks) was made available for the next day's early departure. The 4 dinners we had... More

A lovely retreat after the bustle of Rome and Florence. Beautiful venue, FABULOUS food and wine. No problem with a teenager, and our hosts' English was very good. Should I be lucky enough to return to Italy, I would not hesitate to repeat our stay. More

My husband and I traveled to Europe for 2 weeks. We spent 3 days in Rome and then took a train to Florence. We then rented a car and drove to this hotel. Our advice on the trains: look for your train number and not the destination. Apparently it is often the case that where you're going is not the... More

Veronica and the staff at Il Castelluccio could not have made our stay better! Our room was not only comfortable and clean but beautiful. You have to stay each night for dinner. Dinner was at 8:00 p.m. each evening on the terrace overlooking the hills and the pool. The food was magnificent! We could not have found a better place... More

We had a wonderful time here and would have stayed more than one night, had there been availability. The jacuzzi was great and the view of the Tuscan hills was a welcoming change from our more hectic travels in Rome. Our hosts were incredibly gracious and the meals that we had (breakfast and dinner) were delicious. If you don't have... More
