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 meters above sea level, at the south-eastern border of the Chianti
Classic 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
artifacts 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.
