Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A five-star resort in a restored medieval castle on a hill above Castelnuovo dell'Abate, south of Montalcino, with 45 suites, three restaurants, five panoramic terraces and a 1,500 square metre spa with thermal pools. The views run across the Orcia valley to Monte Amiata. It suits couples who want a full resort with a dog in tow. The resort offers dog-sitting on request.
