Best Place to Stay In Tuscany
The description does not do it justice. The We plan to go back. Iacopo is a gem. He was so responsive. He helped prepare our meal as part of our cooking class, and he gave a great tour of the winery. Be sure to get up and visit the church at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday. It is worth it.

Great, spacious authentic castle
We were a group of 5 adult couples. 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.

Fantastic experience! Iacopa took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. Wonderful setting and a great experience. Sitting outside either at the pool or at the tables was our favorite way to relax. We enjoyed their locally produced wine as well. Highly recommend.

Amazing Week in Tuscany
This place is beyond words and the people that run it are even better. They really care about your happiness. The chef that can come in and cook to the daily housekeeping services are beyond amazing. And you cannot forget Jacapo (not correct spelling) he is everything you can ask for in a property manager. His wine tour was nothing short of amazing and the history given was special. I would rebook this place in an instant. Thank you for everything!!!!

AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!
This is a place you learn to love. 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!

Fantastic Stay in Tuscany!
We had an absolutely amazing time at the castle! 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!

Castle of Volognano Was Wonderful
We loved the castle. The grounds are stunning. The kitchen is well-supplied. We asked them to arrange a cooking class and dinner, that was so much fun. It's a beautiful base to use for day trips, and it's also fun to hang out there.

Magical
Our stay at the Castle was fabulous! 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.

Gorgeous castle with spectacular views.
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!

Such an amazing experience at Castello di Volognano! The castle was perfect for four couples with plenty of space to relax. The location is very convenient with a nearby town providing everything you need and the views of the rolling hills of Tuscany were stunning. The pool was also great and the service by the hosts made our stay even more memorable. Can’t wait to come back!
