Overview

Castel Pietraio is located deep in the Tuscan countryside, just 10 minutes from the perfectly preserved walled village of Monteriggioni and less than half an hour from beautiful Siena. This medieval castle, once important for defending the area, now offers peaceful, relaxing accommodation in a stunning setting. On site you will find a large open-air swimming pool with lovely views, a children’s playground and a barbecue area. Rooms inside 17th-century Castel Pietraio are furnished and decorated in keeping with their history, with exposed wooden beams and terracotta tiles as well as all modern comforts. In a tranquil but easily-accessible area, from Castel Pietraio you can be at San Gimignano in half an hour, as well as numerous other pretty historic towns. If you prefer to stay closer to home, you can go horseriding, walking or cycling directly from the castle and just 500 metres away is a village with shops and restaurants.

An enjoyable week with plenty of places to visit eg Siena which is very close.

It was a very attractive property with a lovely swimming pool. The outside seating area was very pretty.

Just a beautiful experience, very different to the norm. Our host Mauro was so obliging and helpful. Julia gave us the most amazing tour and wine tasting. She was just a delight. She did give us more time than allowed (don't tell Mauro) it was a wonderful experience. Buffet breakfast each morning was delicious and set us up for the day. Thank you, we will be back

A chance to stay in a castle in the Tuscany region - now ticked.

Location to explore the Tuscany region was excellent. Having the chance to stay in an old castle also brilliant. Great size rooms and bathroom. Given hot weather, the pool certainly a nice bonus to use after exploring the area

The hospitality of Mauro and his staff was great. Location a 10, as its close to main attractions. Taberna del Oso restaurant few mins by car, worth dining there everyday. !

Cold smells and photos look way better than reality ...

The staff at the castle were very nice, and the exterior of the castle looked great ...but that is where it stops for me I am afraid... I chose this castle with little expectations as I quite like the experience of the old thick walks and odd shaped steps and doors ...and over the many years of my extensive travels has revealed many castles in various states of repair... The room was terrible, the smell was so overwhelming at times it made us feel ill. It's freezing, I stay in Castles and old buildings wherever possible and understand the quirky problems people have converting these buildings, keeping them warm and damp proof... but sadly this is by far the worst castle I've ever stayed in. The ramp to get into the castle rooms is dangerous for any one with mobility problems and is completely disabled unfriendly. The car park drive way had also been washed away ...

It had potential to be a great stay but the actual hospitality needs improvement

Friendly hostess; the daughter’s owner and the lovely swimming pool.

Castle close to Monteriggioni, not far from Siena. The family keeps the place in order with passion.
