Tours: New Year's at Montalcino
Famous Castello Banfi Brunello Vineyard
 


Castello Banfi, long recognized for exellence in winemaking and hospitality, has added another jewel to its crown with the spring 2007 opening of 'Castello Banfi - Il Borgo' where memorable and charmingly elegant hospitality awaits guests touring the breathtaking wine country of southern Tuscany.
The 14 guest rooms and suites are built inside the stone houses, (that from the hamlet dating to the 18th century), aside the walls and towers of the Castello. Along both sides of the sloping village street, the exteriors of the inviting accomodations reflect the archituctural beauty and heritage of a Tuscan past, while the interiors have been carefully studied to offer the comforts of a sophisticated home.

The restaurant is leaded by Chef Guido Haverkock, who has extensive restaurant experience in Italy, Germany and Switzerland. The Restaurant is acclaimed for its Mediterranean cuisine and inspired by Tuscan flavours. The setting, alonside the Castello, is magnificent, with views of the Tuscan hillside and an interior with hand-painted walls of vneyard trellising. A memorable dining experience!
We do not require a specific dress code but we are pleased to suggest a suitable attire.
