It was cool to stay in a castle! Iacopo took great care of us - helping us with things we needed before we even go there. The place is close to many good restaurants and we drove to Chianti and Siena for a quick visit. The pool was a bonus especially sine we were there in August. I can imagine how wonderful this would be as a wedding or anniversary venue. ##### R. C.

From the very beginning we begin to notice all the special things about it. Our first dinner was under the trees. The view of the rolling vineyards and olive trees made you want to cry. At 7:00 we heard our church bells and it gave us chills! The pool and grounds were amazing and beautiful. The kitchen had everything needed for meals. There were linens, dishes, etc for all meals. The “welcome fridge” was wonderful! We cannot say enough about this place. Patricia and Edwardo were wonderful hosts. Will definitely return! ##### Anna Maria R.

I just returned from a 2 week trip to Italy, in which my group of 14 stayed in four different regions and vacation rentals. Of all the places we stayed, hands down our group liked our stay at Castello Volognano the best! The property is magnificent, the views are incredible, and the pool was so refreshing on the hot August days we spent there. Above all, Iacopo, the gentleman who manages the property, made us feel like royalty during our stay. No request was to big. He arranged everything with me prior to our stay: from transfers, to shopping lists, to dinners with a chef at the castle. Everything here went seamlessly. No one in my group of 14 wanted to leave! If you are visiting Tuscany or the Florence area, you must stay at Castello Volognano. During your stay, I highly recommend doing the wine tasting with lunch, and having at least a few means catered by a chef overlooking the beautiful Tuscan countryside. And I can't forget, the olive oil they make is amazing as well. Thank you Castello Volognano for making our first trip to Italy so memorable! ##### Jennifer K. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ali N. Jun 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Castle Life For Me I traveled with a group of 10 close friends for a 2 week trek across Italy. The Castello di Volognano was the highlight of our trip and my only regret is that we didnt stay here longer. The castle is on the top of one of many rolling hills of Tuscany and the views could not be better. The owner, Patrizia, was patient and accommodating and was extremely helpful when booking our stay despite me being difficult and changing the dates multiple times. The property manager Iacopo was outstanding and unbelievably helpful. His wine tour was wonderful and had a more homey, friendly feel than other commercial wineries that we had toured before. He also helped arrange a private dinner cooked by a personal chef and it was delicious. A surprise bonus that I didnt see mentioned in the listing was a fleet of 20 turtles that happily live in the castle garden. The only thing missing was a castle cat (or three)! We would not hesitate to come back to Volognano. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime, perfect vacation in a castle, stop looking and book this now! ##### ali N. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lisa d. May 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Would return in a hearbeat! How would I summarize our experience at Castello di Volognano? 10 out of 10\. The castle is more than a place to sleep during your travels. It is a destination in and of itself. For just five days, my family and I felt like Italian dignitaries. We received a royal greeting from Iacopo, the castle's concierge. Perfecting the art of being invisible yet always available, he graciously attended to our every need. We arrived and were greeted with a beautiful glass of Chianti as we listened to Iacopo give an interesting talk about the castle's wine and olive oil production. We enjoyed charcuterie, a tasting of the vineyards' wines, and a light dinner, which included the best lasagna I have ever tasted. Inside the castle, you are immersed in history, art, and architecture like no other. You can't help but feel that you've transported back in time but forward in social status. The backyard will be your gathering place for morning coffee and late-afternoon cocktails. Being on the top of the hill, your views of the Tuscan countryside are as magnificent as the sounds and scents wafting through the cooling breeze. Every single one of my family loved the castle. Ours was a busy trip. Our only regret was not booking one more night just to relax and enjoy our surroundings. We will return as soon as we can! It was a blissful experience, and I highly recommend it. ##### lisa d.

Not all had private bathroom/shower (see their description). Still, this is a huge (!) place, with plenty of big living/dining/game rooms. The kitchen is small-ish but works. The building/castle is truly amazing, you will be impressed, and the grounds are beautiful. We were less impressed with housekeeping (just daily bed making, but no new linens all week, and fresh towels only upon request even if they were placed on the floor). Most of us weren't happy with the mattresses. A pre-stocked refridgerator for our late-pm arrival would have been nice (no such option) - that would be super helpful when arriving from long distance and have no idea where to buy what. Now, the castle is an authentic 1000 year-old building, and while all that is really special and impressive, don't expect window screens (big bugs find their way into the bedrooms), no modern plumbing, and showers and drains are so-so. So that's the trade-off. The location is amazing, quiet, hill-top with incredible Tuscan views - something you'll write home about! You feel like a king up there.There's a groundskeeper who's very helpful with where to go, what to see, etc. The nearest town is \~15 min by car, with a train-station (to get into Florence), a really big grocery store, plenty of small restaurents, etc. Really everything you need is there. Perhaps except for the bedrooms' non-biting bugs and the mattress quality, this is a spectacular place you'll not forget. ##### Hans K. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley B.

We were a group of ten staying a week for my wife's 40th birthday and everything was wonderful. The pictures really don't show you how huge the shared spaces are, there was plenty of room for people to spread out and enjoy themselves, but also great places to be cozy together. We had both the cooking class and the private chef for one night and highly recommend both. I also suggest taking the winery tour and wine tasting option, it's great! ##### William H.

Over the course of a week, my American and Italian family (14 people in total!) met at Castle Volognano. It is truly a magical place. The owners and staff were lovely - thank you Alberto, Patrizia, Claudia and Jacopo! It is also worth mentioning that the daily cleaning service is very helpful and we highly suggest getting the refrigerator stocked for your arrival as well as doing one buffet dinner. The grounds and views are stunning and there is even a family of turtles living in the gardens. Yes, turtles! What's not to love? We also recommend taking a tour of the winery. Jacopo was outstanding and hilarious. We hope to return someday. ##### David H.

Everything was perfect. We used the welcome fridge when we arrived - plenty of food for 12 with left overs for snacking. The breakfast was massive and enough for everyone. They also arranged breakfast to go for our group since everyone was leaving at different times on the day of check out. The location is only 10 minutes from Pontassieve which had 3 grocery stores and dining. Also if you get there early enough - free parking at train station! It was 14 Euros round trip on train to Florence SMN only took 25-30 minutes on train. 2 of our group did the wine tour and thought it was fabulous! They said it was the best part of their stay. It was nice to be out of the city and in the "country". It was quiet. There were fans in everyroom. They did have mosquito plug ins but you might want to bring your own for nights in the garden. The pool wasn't heated but the cold water felt great on your feet after walking all day. All in all, the whole group was super pleased with everything!! ##### Mary L.

The setting is like a Tuscan dream, high on a hill with olive groves, vineyards and rustic villas all throughout the valley. The weather was perfect (mid 70’s) and the sunsets were gorgeous each night. Our hosts were very helpful and gracious and the staff were warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. We did a cooking class (highly recommended), had a chef prepare several meals and a driver available to take us to sites and wineries. Highly recommended place to stay. ##### Steven H.

Castello di Volognano is a gorgeous castle with stunning views and enough room for many families to have their own private space. The views from all directions are beautiful and you can truly immerse yourself if the beauty of Tuscany while sitting outside. There is an outdoor ping pong table and an indoor billiards table which are great additions. The train station is close which allows you to travel to Florence in under 30 minutes. There are plenty of fans in the bedrooms which help with the summer heat but it would have been wonderful if there had been screens on the upstairs windows to let in the cool night air without also letting in the many mosquitoes. There are plenty of beds which were the only issue we had with our entire stay. They were very firm and truly uncomfortable, as were the pillows. They were the only un-luxurious part of this very luxurious castle. But despite the uncomfortable beds, our stay was magnificent. We did the wine tour with Iacopo who is generous and kind and happy to answer all your questions. We relaxed by the beautiful pool and enjoyed our time at Castello di Volognano! ##### Christopher F.
