Castelletto di Montebenichi is a four star hotel located in a small castle in the centre of a medieval hamlet. Perched on top of a hill at 510 mt above sea level, at the south-eastern border of the Chianti Classico area, the Castelletto is halfway between Siena and Arezzo and only a short distance from many of Tuscany's most famous cities of art.
The surrounding countryside is of rare beauty, scattered with woods, vineyards, and olive groves. Six double rooms and three suites, each furnished with all modern comforts, welcome guests in an atmosphere which is both elegant and exclusive without losing the warmth of a family home.
Antique furniture, precious works of art and historical artefacts are all part of the owners' private collection which adds to the magical atmosphere of this unique place.
A generous buffet breakfast awaits guests each morning in the open gallery located on the first floor of the building. Refreshment is available throughout the day in the lounge bar.
Superb traditional Tuscan dishes, all prepared with prime, locally sourced ingredients are served in the characteristic "L'Orciaia" restaurant, situated within easy walking distance in the little village of Montebenichi, just beneath the castle. Typical Tuscan goods such as olive oil and wine can be purchased in the hotel's own shop.
Set in the tranquil gardens of the Castelletto di Montebenichi there is a swimming pool from where breathtaking views of the surrounding hillside can be admired.
Also in the gardens, the summer house has been transformed in a remarkably attractive fitness room and relaxation area with Jacuzzi.
Location Castelletto di Montebenichi
Castelletto di Montebenichi is situated in the small district of Bucine, immersed in the countryside of Tuscany's Valdambra, half way between Arezzo and Siena. The landscape is that typical of the Chianti hillside; an area where some of the most prestigious Italian wines are produced including the highly acclaimed Chianti Classico. Just a little further a field, one finds the vineyards where the grapes for the Brunello di Montalcino and the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano are cultivated.
Those travelling from the North by car along the A1 motorway should take the Valdarno exit, whilst those coming from the South should exit at Valdichiana.
Florence, Arezzo and Siena are all less than an hour's drive away as are other famous Tuscan destinations such as San Gimignano, Pienza and Cortona.
The closest train stations are those of Arezzo and Montevarchi. Siena and Bucine are situated on less frequently served railway lines.
Florence airport is located just an hour's drive away from Hotel Castelletto di Montebenichi. Driving time from Pisa airport is approximately 2 hours.
