Castello Vicchiomaggio

Such a breathtaking place! Wow from arrival to departure. The staff is genuinely amazing. Always helpful and friendly. Rooms were great and impeccable - great standard. A beautiful kitten was playful and sweet. And of course the wine - every sip, every bottle was delicious!

We had the pleasure of staying four nights, dining and touring Castello Vicchiomaggio. The Castello and grounds are truly magical with sweeping views sitting atop a hill. The Castello is beautifully restored with modern amenities and immaculately clean. We stayed in the incredible valley view apartment which was very spacious with many large windows overlooking the Chianti valleys and vineyards and a convienient kitchenette. Wifi connection was sometimes limited in our apartment. We enjoyed our wine tour here and dinner. The Castello and winery is family run which made it extra special - family and staff were exceptional hosts. There were a set of stairs to reach the grounds/restaurant and another to reach our apartment (to be mindful of depending on your mobility) - staff were kind enough to help with our luggage. If you are visiting, there is a building by the entrance at the bottom of the hill for wine tasting. If you dine at the restaurant (or possibly book one of their wine tours), you drive up the hill which takes a few mins for the best view and to enjoy the grounds. Grazie miele for having us from Australia.

My husband and I were recently married at Castello Vicchiomaggio, and we truly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect experience. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, making us and our guests feel completely at home. A special thank you to Sandra, whose kindness and care made us feel like family—she was an absolute joy to work with. The breathtaking views and the charm of the castle created an unforgettable backdrop for our celebration. All of our guests were able to stay on-site, which made the experience even more magical, and everyone was in awe of both the venue and the stunning surrounding area. It was, without question, the wedding of my dreams, and I will forever be grateful we chose such a remarkable place to begin our married life. If you’re considering Castello Vicchiomaggio as your wedding venue—do it. You will not be disappointed!
