Castello di Gargonza

Visited Castello di Gargonza with our stay being around 11 days. There were 19 of us on a watercolor workshop. The castle was a perfect spot for all of us. The rooms were different throughout the grounds. Our accommodations in a larger house were comfortable especially the mattresses! We had a nice bathroom with a shower. The grounds have some sweet gardens around the grounds. We took advantage of the swimming pool as well. Restaurant was exceptional. The best pasta I have ever had. They make their own I believe. The Count was so welcoming! All the staff made us feel at home. I recommend this to people who like a different experience beyond a hotel or a condo. It is within driving distance to so many of the key hill towns which we painted. This spot it a gem! No wonder people want to be married there!

The room we stayed that did not have A/C, in August. We booked through *******, which prior to today Aug 29, 2023 had A/C as an amenity. ******* has since changed the amenities to a portable fan. Pool was awesome. Beds were horrible. Room was super hot. Very remote location. This is a beautiful old remote village with a castle, and total rustic (like a cabin) rooms. Would stay here again, but not in the summer time.

I would have given 10 plus if I could, but I am giving it 4, as the woman who checked us in, told us that for the kind of booking we would have to stay in a room which faces the street, dark and tiny, the first impression as we entered it was like entering a coffin. I was just amazed that, first they had such room and they expected anyone to stay in it. I booked in *******, fully paid for 3 nights in August. And in anywhere there was a picture of the room. I am writing to *******, that their post is quite misleading. Then, she told us that she can show us another one, on top floor with a seating area. I don't know if this happens with people who book with *******, but it was a very unpleasant check in experience. It was obvious that they were not fully booked, so what was the point? I am still very puzzled. That apart, we spent beautiful 3 nights, the breakfast every morning was a treat with all the bread, cakes and pastries home made. Lucia and Veronica were just amazing. The grounds beautifully maintained, The quietness and the slow paced were such a treat after the week in Rome. We did not have time to visit the restaurant or walk the trails, but definitely a place to go back. The next time I will check about the accommodation. I would say check if they will have event or wedding, because then, it could be a hassle as one needs to compete the space with the group.

this was my third stay at Gargonza and I brought my sister-in-law who is a connoisseur of Tuscany and kept me constantly on the move for two weeks. We stayed in Pietrino (my favorite, but I will have to try other houses one day!) The castello never disappoints and it worked its magic again causing even my sister-in-law to slow down and smell the roses (blooming just outside Pietrino even in November). We hiked the trails, had lovely meals in the restaurant, those amazing breakfasts, and let Gargonza work its magic. It was a holiday weekend and the place was full, but you didn't feel it. We loved how the children could run and play safely in this fairy tale setting -- lots of space and places to hide and seek. We had lots of plans to drive to Siena or to Pienza, but we had been to those places before and, well, why leave Gargonza? So happy to see the tower is nearing complete restoration and I hope one day to be able to climb to the top. We'll be back!

We (husband small children) have been here several times 25-30 years ago. We loved it and now (two older couples) we love it even more. The manage to update everything in a perfect way while keeping the ambiance of the borgo. The people are so very nice, it is so quiet, the breakfast is lovely and dinner is great, the bar has very special cocktails, the house we had this time (they are all special and different) was just perfect with the chimney, the swimming pool, the gardens: what a pity to leave! Thank you! Grazie di tutto e spero di ritornare presto!

Where to even start, the most incredible wedding venue you will ever come across. Castello Di Gargonza is absolutely beautiful, it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before but that’s not even what makes it so special – it is Neri, Michelle and the amazing team who make it all work. We first visited Gargonza in 2019, as our first stop on a trip to book our wedding venue. We had planned to start our trip with Castello Di Gargonza and then visit some other venues before making a decision. We cancelled all of our other visits and booked Gargonza for our wedding within a few hours of arriving. The main reasons we chose to book Gargonza were the beautiful location; the uniqueness of the venue; the onsite facilities (full restaurant, pool, wine bar); and Neri’s calm, relaxed and professional personality. Of course, the pandemic hit so we had to postpone our August 2020 wedding to June 2021 and Neri and Michelle made it such a smooth experience. We then had to postpone again to September 2021 and they were so accommodating and flexible, they made the whole experience stress-free. When we finally got to go ahead with our big day, Michelle was incredible at bringing everything together, helping us to organise the vendors, manage the guests and sort out the final details. We had our guests at Gargonza for three days and it could not have been more perfect. Every guest commented on how stunning the venue is and how excellent the service was from all of the staff. More than one person told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. It’s very rare to find such a beautiful venue alongside such an excellent team. Gargonza will always have a very special place in our hearts. If you’re considering booking Gargonza for your wedding we would highly recommend it (and feel free to send us an invite, we’d love an excuse to come back!).

Thank you very much for everything, all was perferct (appartment, swimming pool, bar, restaurant, service…); we more than appreciated all the spaces available in the village to rest and spend peaceful time in family.

Assolutamente un esperienza da provare. Completa, perché dotata di ogni servizio. Unica, perché ti fa vivere all'interno di un bellissimo borgo medievale. Rilassante, perché immersa nel silenzio. Accogliente, perché ha un personale gentilissimo. Elegante, perché ogni spazio sia interno che esterno è curatissimo. Piacevole, perché ha ottime pietanze dalla colazione alla cena nel ristorante. Insomma, più che gli aggettivi bisogna vivere Gargonza per poterla apprezzare.

Hotel super con stanze bellissime e confortevoli In un' atmosfera fiabesca nel piccolo borgo,un po' isolato,ma affascinante. Ristorante dell'albergo supremo,ottima carne servizio celere.come sempre una conferma di professionalità
