About the Hotel
Ten centuries of history radiate from the hand-hewn stone walls and terracotta floors at Tuscany's Castel Monastero, the centerpiece of a small medieval village called Monastero dell'Ombrone. The monastery first appeared in correspondence in 1044 in connection with the nearby Berardenga Abbey and over the centuries noble families transformed it into a castle. Thanks to painstaking restoration efforts, the ancient ambiance remains – guests from all over the world go for bespoke experiences, such as a Bentley ride through the Tuscan countryside.

Reviews for Castel Monastero
Beautiful place to stay while exploring the area
very good location for visiting Montalcino, Montepulciano, Siena, San Gimignano etc. Easy access. Friendly staff, especially Rafaela in the restaurant. So efficient and on-the-ball. No USB plugs in the room and general shortage of plugs. An unmarked bin for used towels in the spa changing rooms but none around the spa so towels left everywhere which made it shabby. Poor quality sun beds. Guests using wine bottles on the pool edge and barmen not reacting to comments about it. Steam room out of order the 5 days we were there. Indoor spa area unsupervised most of the time.

A Fairy Tale wedding in the most sublime setting in Tuscany!
My husband's niece chose the magnificent Castel Monastero as her destination wedding venue in Tuscany. The entire Castel was reserved for family and friends. We spent 3 glorious days here. Everything, from the location, grounds, staff, rooms, restaurants, pool, and spa were superlative. Every staff member we met, serving us breakfast, taking our luggage upstairs, bartending the rehearsal dinner, serving dinner, refreshing our room were obviously trained to meet the highest standards. Nothing was too much to ask. The Castel Monastero, once a monastery (our room was in the nun's building) is like a medieval fairy tale castle nestled in the gorgeous Tuscan countryside. 360 degree views greet you anywhere you are on the property and will leave you breathless. This wedding location was the finest place we have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Hat's off to the staff for a remarkable stay. Without a doubt, book it!!

Castel Monastero was one of the best hotel destinations I’ve ever been to. It rivaled the Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons of the world due to the quality of the property and the hospitality of the staff. Our only regret was that we did not stay for the full duration of our trip.
I hope to revisit in the future and I would look nowhere else for future visits to Tuscany. Thank you all!
