Castello di Velona

Summary

Castello di Velona commands a unique panoramic location overlooking the peaceful Val d’Orcia. This very romantic, all-suite hotel even includes such unusual attractions as on-site wine and extra virgin olive oil production.

The sun paints a landscape of poplars and olive trees in pastel shades. At the foot of distant Mount Amiata stands a sturdy fortress atop a Tuscan hillock. From the outside it seems nothing has changed. Inside, however, the castle has become a cradle of luxury after an imaginative makeover – and is now an exclusive hotel with air-conditioned rooms.

Relax in the library, cool off by the pool, or simply admire hand-painted trompe l’oeil borders and classically arched windows. This is now the confluence of art, viniculture and gastronomy. So where better to enjoy the finest Tuscan cuisine and world-renowned wines of the region.
