This was a gorgeous hotel and such a relaxing experience from start to finish. The food was superb, the service was excellent, and the overall atmosphere was unforgettable. The room was comfortable and had an antique feel but considering this is an old castle, it completely made sense and added to the charm. What a wonderful stay it was.

Hotel located in a gorgeous mountain settings, the views absolutely stunning, the food was ok, fresh and decent choices on the menu. Room was very clean, but moldy smell was still in the room. The service was excellent. Spa i was not impressed at all. Chlorine smell inside the facility, average massage treatment, would not recommend it. Outdoor pool has breath taking views, in the summer time it will be the best place to spend your mornings or evenings to watch Sunrise and Sunsets. Overall I do recommend to visit this place for at least a few days.

Moto Grazie, Spaltenna

Castello di Spaltenna may rank as the best overall lodging experience of my life. Perched on a hill in Chianti, you pass a towering line of Italian Cypress on final approach to the one-time monastery. The Front desk snaps to attention. A warm welcome to introduce us to the gorgeous, quiet property and then we climbed stone steps to room nine. From room nine, we enjoyed a birds eye view of the perfectly manicured lawns, sparking pool, grapevines and olive trees. A feeing of gratitude and tranquility overcame us. We took three dinners and a lunch in the trattoria on site. The Breakfast included in our stay was sprawling, diverse, and healthy choices dotted the offerings. “Capoucino the asked each morning”? Yes! Moto Grazie. The spa has decent offerings and our massages exceeded expectations. We walked down the hill to Gaiole for a simple lunch and beer. In under an hour you can be in Sienna and not much further is San Giminano. Our departure this morning was bittersweet. If you stay here, I hope you feel as we did

Of all the beautiful places we stayed on our Italy trip, this was, hands down our favorite. From the moment we pulled up, we were met by staff to take our luggage and drive us to the reception area for check in.
We were greeted by a friendly staff members, given a tour of the property and information we might need for our stay.
The property is breathtakingly stunning.
Our room was absolutely beautiful and the perfect blend of luxury and rustic, Tuscan charm. The dinner we had at one of their restaurants was incredible and the staff attentive in the best way possible- while allowing us the time to savor the delicious meal, converse and just take in all the beautiful atmosphere.
We booked time together at their Spa, which we enjoyed, and my husband had a relaxing sports massage.
The breakfast in the morning had the greatest variety, attentive staff and quality choices that we have ever experienced.
We can’t recommend Castelló di Spaltenna enough, truly a magical place, nestled in the heart of the Chianti region.

An utterly enchanting escape nestled within the Tuscan hills, Castello di Spaltenna perfectly blends centuries-old charm with modern elegance. The spa and both indoor and outdoor pools are wonderfully indulgent, complemented by serene views across vineyards and olive groves. The Michelin-starred restaurant, Il Pievano, delivers exceptional cuisine under romantic candlelight, while attentive and warm-hearted service adds to every moment.

Each room feels genuinely Tuscan—stone walls, beamed ceilings, cozy fireplaces—all paired with contemporary comforts. Mornings on the breakfast terrace offer breathtaking panoramas that awaken the senses, and the immaculate grounds invite long, relaxing strolls. A magical, unforgettable retreat—we can’t wait to return.

The jacuzzi at the spa was inoperable at the time of our visit. And I certainly needed cleaning. Also, the staff was unusually loud in spite of the fact that there is a specifically written rule stating to keep your voice amplitude down, a whisper. The staff across the entire property was kind and pleasant, however they seemed to lack the type of training a facility such as this would require. Over all the property itself, and its views are stunning. Very quiet and peaceful. But even though the staff were nice, the quality of the service was sub-par. Even though there was a Michelin restaurant on-site, one would expect the quality of the food at the other dining areas to have been at least above average. This was not the case. Breakfast had what tasted like powered eggs, waffles and pancakes were served cold, but the rest of the offerings were acceptable. Every plate we had for dinner was served late and cold. Given the price, it should have been a more complete experience, not one with as many pluses as minuses.

The setting of the hotel is stunning and the property itself is beautiful. Staff were very friendly. This makes up somewhat for the \"tired\" condition of the rooms (our bathroom had an outdated jacuzzi tub and the knob on the heating towel rack was broken so we couldn't warm up the towels. There were also some issues with service. We ordered room service coffee and mint tea and we received every conceivable tea but no mint. Dinner service was also a little off in the supposed Michelin restaurant. We wanted pasta just with tomato sauce for a vegan in our party, but it arrived with the fish sauce. We also ordered mint tea in the restaurant after dinner but were served Roibos. It's little things like this that may not seem like a big deal, but that make the difference between an average hotel and an excellent one. Also, the coffee at breakfast was not very good, especially for an Italian establishment.

The hotel staff is rude and unhelpful. The rooms are in serious need of renovation and the bed was as a hard as a rock. This was such a disappointing experience for a honeymoon couple. We had a problem exchanging our American money and they were not helpful until someone from home called to complain about their rudeness and lack of concern. Even after complaining the staff on that day we left refused to help me change my train tickets. He suggested I call and when I said I could not from my phone from the states because it didn’t work he didn’t offer to call for me or ask if I would like to use the hotel phone.

Far to get to and from the main towns in Tuscany

Castello Spaltenna is a beautiful resort & spa with a lovely setting but not a place to stay as headquarters for visiting Tuscany, because in order to go and come from Gaiole in Chianti, you must drive a long, very curvy way for about 25 km, no matter if going towards Siena or Montevarchi.
Our room was of a good size, but not close to the main building, with a lousy shower, and a broken a/c. It lacked basic details, such as face towels, terry hand towels, trash basket in the room, etc.
The staff tried to fix the situation of the a/c, but it was impossible, so they gave us a portable one thinking that this would solve the problem, but this implied in leaving the windows open, so the flies and other insects flew in.
Breakfast was plentiful, served on the terrace, but being outside, smoking was permitted and this was upsetting. If you wanted to eat inside you’d need to sit in a dark room. I must acknowledge that the servers were extremely attentive, always smiling and prompt. The folks at the reception and housekeeping were also very helpful and always willing to please!
I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless you just want to rest and enjoy a spa. If not, choose some place else, more conveniently located. There are many choices out there.

A true 5 star castle in Tuscany

If you are looking for a romantic escape, or a quiet place for your family to unplug, all the while enjoying the fruits of a location in central Tuscany, look no further. This is quite simply Heaven.

We took our eleven-year old daughter and stayed for several days in late September, and enjoyed wonderful weather, even to the point of the outdoor pool. We ate at the fine dining restaurant, which is NOT to be missed with its multi-course gourmet meals that far surpass the prices charged in quality, service, and the sheer number of complimentary courses and wines that accompany your meal. The breakfast bar is fresh and offers anything you could need, and we enjoyed eating alfresco almost every meal without question.

We took over a two bedroom suite, and while it was large for our needs, was perfect for a semblance of isolation that our family needed. The wifi worked well when we needed, the cell reception from the U.S. worked better than I would have liked, and all our needs were met immediately.

In fact, I can't remember a staff person who ever said anything other than: \"Yes, of course,\" to any of our requests.

Go there. Use it as a base to explore Florence, southern Tuscany, Umbria, or Pergia. Drive around aimlessly and find restaurants, wineries, or places to buy olive oil. And at night, go back to the warmth and security of your Castello.

Could be a real gem

Amazing property and views with good location and ver nice breakfast. The fine dining restaurant was good (though expensive for the area) although the less formal osteria was totally over-priced, and not worth it. The spa was a bit small and the pool not heated, and the jacuzzi definitely lukewarm. Overall great property and enjoyable stay although i feel management are missing an opportunity for greatness? Set reasonable prices as to capture your internal demand rather than having people feel ripped off and leave premises.

Charming luxury castle hotel in heart of Chianti

The hotel was fantastic and the service was impeccable. Everyone on the staff went out of their way to make us feel specia throughout our stay. Very personal attention. We had to leave early the last morning so they thoughtfully offered to make us box lunches (no additional charge) and had them ready at 5 am for us. The pool and grounds are breathtaking with the rolling hills of the vineyards and castles in every mountain top. Very well maintained. The location was great to get to many vineyards and castles in Chianti. The two restaurants were amazing, one more casual and one more formal. The rooms were charming with very comfortable beds, sky tv in many languages, and in the castle. local vineyards held wine tastings at the hotel at 4pm. Absolutely loved it!

Very nice renovated hotel

Driving up the hill to the property the look & views are amazing. It's newly renovated but with an old charm. Lot's of stone & wood coverings. The staff was very helpful, the breakfast amazing and dinner was outstanding.
It was too cold to sit by the pool but we enjoyed a day at the spa facility... indoor pool, sauna, stream room, etc.

Great location for exploring Chianti region.
