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.
