Wow. If you are looking for the perfect Tuscan retreat this is it! Nestled in the hills overlooking vineyards and olive groves, this medieval village is a real find. The Rocco was renovated three years ago so it has the perfect balance of ancient fortress with modern and very elegant conveniences. The rooms were lovely and roomy. The breakfasts included... More

Executive summary: don't miss the wine tour or the wines at Rocca but stay elsewhere (although the appartments might be fine). My girlfriend and I spent 3 nights in a "suite" at Rocca during the last week of October. We arrived on a Sunday evening and found a sign saying "Knock on #10 to get your key". We searched the...

Staff very accommodating, and offered us free breakfast to compensate for our booking not matching what we expected from "Late Rooms" (we booked for a family apartment with kitchen and other private facilities including air con) and got 2 double rooms (NB there is no aircon at all in this castle).

We stayed Rocca di Castagnoli 17-21 April 2008 with two small children ( 1 and 3 years old). We requested an apartment and they gave us beautiful old and large room with modern facility/great bath and shower. We were able to relax in spa bath after long drive and walking around which was really nice and kids really loved it... More

Everyone there was so sweet. They had a more modern style hotel room that you could book for a very cheep rate, or you could stay in one of the apartments. Stay in the apartment! You get your own kitchen. Did I metion the wine is excellent! This place is a must to visit and everything about it is like... More

My wife and I stayed 3 nights at this converted castle that is now a working vineyard. It is about 4 km from the town of Gaiole up a hill with beautiful view of the Tuscany countryside. The wines from the vineyard are to die for. There is a communal kitchen in the B&B area when there are bottles of... More
