The stay at Volognano Castle was an incredible experience for our family. This 11th century castle in the Tuscan hills is beautifully restored and was comfortable for our large group. Patrizia and Margherita were very communicative and informative from the planning stage to our departure making sure every detail was handled. We arrived in the evening and Erika picked us up at the Pontassieve Train Station for a quick ride to the castle. There is an adorable bar/bakery right by the train station that had yummy coffee, treats and drinks. The owners, Patrizia and Alberto welcomed us at our arrival and Margherita gave us info about the accommodations and answered any questions. We scheduled a wine tasting and a light meal when we arrived (early evening). It was INCREDIBLE. Constanza gave us a tour of the grounds and shared her passion for the region, the wines and olive oil produced on property as well as her extensive knowledge of Italian wines. We learned so much about the wines and each was paired with delicious food. We then were served a delicious meal prepared by Silvana. It was one of the most special moments of our trip to Italy. This property is absolutely stunning. The views are jaw dropping, the grounds are immaculate and the hospitality unmatched. We had a breakfast and dinner prepared and all was delicious. Some things to note: Lots of stairs; no A/C but nights were comfortable with windows and breeze; it's rural, so maybe rent a car.

Castle Volognano is paradise and Margherita is a saint. We stayed here for 3 days to have our wedding held here, and everything and everyone was beautiful. I can't think of anywhere else in the world that would have been better.Their services, their wine, their Olive oil was incredible. I cannot rave about this place enough.They managed to make our special day extra extra special.
