We had a wonderfull week in Castelrotto. The hole complex is beatiful - we were in la Faginaia house, the location is amazing, you can see Montalcino, and Violante has organize dinner and wine tasting for us. I was several times in Tuscany but this location and the atmosphere was really special. Unfortunately the pool was not open.

I am part of the fifth generation of the Venturini Del Greco family that has lived and loved this place. For all of us Castelnuovo represents our true self, our pride. Everything we do here at is done with true dedication to this property, keeping in mind the past but always thinking of the future. This place is our history, our tradition.
The true spirit of Tuscany has changed so much in the last years, and sadly, not always in a better way. Our purpose at Castelnuovo Tancredi is to maintain our property as true as possible, in all its aspects: wine and olive oil production and primarily hospitality.
We would like to remind our guests that Castelnuovo Tancredi is an organic farm since 25 year, long before this became a trend first and now a mission and an global emergency. So, if you ask for it, we will suggest and teach you how to be ecofriendly to this untouched enviroment, by using recycling bins, avoid waste of water and electricity and some more easy tips to reduce plastic use. This will make a big difference on your holiday. On our side we can proudly say that pesticides are not used at all, either for our crops or for our vineyards. We really do our very best to eliminate spider webs and our cleaning staff is very conscious of clients sensibility to bugs that you find in the countryside. Please note Tuscany Tourist Tax (1 euro per person per day) first 7 days is collected at check in - we provide official receipt and that heating consuption are not included in price during winter month
The nearest town, Buonconvento, is one of the 200 historical hamlets throughout Italy that are part of the "Club of the Borghi PiĂč Belli d'Italia" or "Italy's Most Beautiful Hamlets". The Orcia Valley is still quite undiscovered, and for this reason it is the ultimate spot to stay in Tuscany .
The surrounding area offers the best of the real Tuscany , away from the crowded towns such as 'San Gimignano and surroundings. In just a short drive and a few minutes you can reach Pienza, Montalcino, Val D'Orcia. Day trips are easy to do and come back after lunch to relax in the pool and enjoy the sunset. A very special retreat.
