In July, 2017, my family, Grandchildren, and some friends reserved several rooms at the Castillo de Montegufoni, and what an exceptional and magical vacation we experienced for 7 days. We initially wanted to reserve some apartments somewhere in Italy for a family holiday, when we came upon this website, while searching for a unique Italian vacation. After researching the Castillo de Montegufoni and reading all the reviews, we decided to make our reservations at this castle, which was located approximately 45 minutes west of Florence. We booked our rooms at the Castillo de Montegufoni, but within months of making our reservations, our son and his fiancé decided that they wanted to get married in this castle. We were a bit apprehensive since we thought this location would be a fun vacation venue, but sight unseen, we were concerned about it now possibly becoming a wedding destination. To make a long beautiful story, a bit shorter, this was the most picturesque, magical, and spectacular location we could have ever selected.
The rooms were all uniquely different but perfect, the gardens and grounds were impeccable, the restaurant foods at the castle and in town were amazingly delicious, and the castle staff and service, especially Paula and Stefania, were so remarkably helpful, enjoyably pleasant, and constantly professional, on every single day we were there.
As a summation, and as we stated in the beginning of this review, the Castillo de Montegufoni became an exceptional and magical vacation for our entire family and we witnessed one of the most beautiful weddings ever! Our entire family, including our Grandchildren have vowed to return to this magnificent castle in the very NEAR future!

Pro: A pretty old castle in a picturesque landscape
Contra: The appartment lies outside of the castle, it has now own outside-sitting-area or any balcony, there is no A/C in the appartment, one of the bedrooms has no window, the appartment is very dark inside, all installations in the bathrooms and the kitchen (e.g. taps and showers) are very run-down and partially out of order, the kitchen equipment comprises only a minimum (e.g. only 4 cups and 4 glasses - therefore, you constantly have to clean the dishes), there is no dishwasher, there are no basics in the kitchen and you have to buy evreything new (e.g. salt, pepper, sugar, washing-up liquid)
Conclusion: Not much value for a lot of money. Never again!

"La Rocca " as everyone in town calls it, was beyond what we could have imagined. It was a castle! There were rooms and spaces for entertainment that we were pleasently surprised to find. The Villa was clean and kept up! Vasile the caretaker was exceptional! He just showed up when it was raining to take us into town knowing we had dinner reservations. It was nice to come down in the morning and have coffee waiting too. The villa arranged for a private cooking class with a chef that was one of our highlights. We visited the local wine shop, and had a private tour and tasting. The towns restaurants were exceptional. We wish we stayed longer !! Loved waking up to the sounds of the resident roosters!

heel mooie lokatie, goede infrastructuur, prima in orde, ligt afgelegen wat een pluspunt is, alleen moeilijk te vinden de eerste keer en een lange, hobbelige toegangsweg. Heel lieve eigenares maar de taal is echt wel een probleem, zeker wanneer zij zich laat vertegenwoordigen door haar personeel (enkel Italiaans, geen enkele andere taal). Bij aankomst een lekkere fles wijn van de eigen wijngaard gekregen. Een aanrader.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] very nice location, good infrastructure, fine and in order, located remote which is a plus, only hard to find the first time and a long, bumpy access road. Very sweet owner but the language is really a problem, especially when she is represented by her staff (only Italian, no other language). On arrival we received a nice bottle of wine from the own vineyard. Recommended.
