Food & Wine, Luxury

A vineyard-wrapped sanctuary for travellers who want Tuscany served with elegance, depth, and a sense of gentle grandeur.

📍Montalcino, Tuscany

Some places in Tuscany are beautiful; Castello Banfi feels composed. A hilltop estate wrapped in vineyards, stone walls, and soft light, it offers a cultivated stillness that appeals to travellers who prefer elegance without spectacle and authenticity without austerity.

Here, the days stretch softly. Mornings begin with long vineyard views, afternoons drift between tastings and quiet poolside hours, and evenings settle into the quiet rhythm of estate life. It is Tuscany experienced through atmosphere rather than checklist—slow, refined, and quietly unforgettable.

One Estate, Two Ways to Stay

Castello Banfi is a single, beautifully orchestrated wine estate offering two complementary hospitality formulas: the boutique comfort of Il Borgo within the castle walls, and the independence of Podere Collupino, a restored farmhouse just 2km away.

Il Borgo suits travellers seeking a classic hotel experience, with elegant rooms and suites in the historic hamlet, and immediate access to the estate’s two restaurants, the Enoteca, La Balsameria, the Glass Museum, tastings, and the panoramic vineyard-side pool.

Podere Collupino, divided into three contemporary suites/apartments, is ideal for families, long stays, or groups of friends who prefer to be together with full kitchens, privacy, and the freedom of a self-catering base. Guests staying here enjoy the same estate hospitality as Il Borgo — pool access, restaurants, tastings, and concierge support.

hether you choose the intimacy of Il Borgo or the independence of Podere Collupino, the estate feels unified: one landscape, one welcome, two ways to shape your Tuscan stay.
