“Castello Di Velona stands out as a renovated Tuscan fortress, dating back to the XIth century, set amidst Montalcino's vineyards. I'm particularly drawn to the castle's dual identity as both a luxury resort and wellness retreat, most rooms feature natural thermal baths, offering a unique spa experience. The personalized wine tastings and focus on regional cuisine further enhance its appeal, making it a notable destination for those seeking a tranquil, gourmet escape.”
