The luxury rooms and suites of Castello Banfi - il Borgo are nestled into the homes that were built alongside the medieval fortress, historically known as Poggio alle Mura, in the 17th and 18th centuries when it became safe to live outside of the thick walls and locked gates but prudent to be close for protection. The castle, since re-christened Castello Banfi, is hospitality center of the 7,100-acre (2,850 hectares) vineyard estate.
Guests are nurtured in a warm and refined environment with attention to detail, befitting the world of fine wine. Culinary and cultural adventure, including cooking classes, wine tastings, vineyard treks and sightseeing, as well as simple relaxation, are the hallmark of these charming accommodations.
In the southwest corner of designated Brunello di Montalcino growing area, Castello Banfi is located 16 kilometers west of the small city of Montalcino (about 20 minutes by car), 70 kilometers south of Siena (about 1 hour by car), 130 kilometers south of Florence (about 1.5 hours by car), and 240 kilometers north of Rome (about 2.5 hours by car).
