Description
A spectacular castle with 360-degree views over the Val d Orcia, Castello di Velona was originally an 11th century fortress. Today, it is an architecturally stunning hotel with elegant interiors, fine cuisine, a glorious pool and one of the best panoramas in Tuscany. There is a tangible sense of history as you wander through this imposing building where the ambience is welcoming and inviting. The Castello di Velona offers 46 rooms, divided between the Castello area and the Spa area. All 46 rooms and suites are elegantly appointed with period furniture, antiques and prized fabrics and materials. The style of the castle rooms is warm and cosy with exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, terracotta tile floors and large decorative fireplaces. In each room, hand-made decorative motifs and paintings of different colour shades combine with the warm hues of fabrics and furnishings. The 19 new spa rooms and suites of the castle new wing are characterised by a linear and contemporary design and by valuable materials such as travertine. Designer furnishings and large, hot spring baths complete the comfort of this luxury accommodation. All of the rooms provide a stunning panoramic view of the Val d Orcia and the vineyards that surround the Castello di Velona. Dine with a fantastic view, by the fire in winter, or outside under the cypress trees in summer. Spend time by the pool soaking up the Tuscan sunshine or head out to Mount Amiata, Italys highest extinct volcano, which you can see in the distance. The Castello di Velona is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.Directions
