Staying in a castle in Tuscany Italy was a dream come true and it did not disappoint at all!
Stunning, grand and yet very charming and welcoming. Victor at the the lodging and Enrico in the wine room were professional, knowledgeable and gracious. Despite a cold rainy night at an 800 year old castle, our room was warm and comfortable.

Unforgettable
The castle is simply wonderful! The grounds are very well-maintained and beautiful, and the staff is friendly. We stayed in the castle itself, not the apartments, and it was truly an amazing experience. The castle is very well preserved, and it was fascinating to walk around as if stepping back into the Middle Ages. The breakfast was good, though I might have liked a bit more warm food. We also took a tour of the castle and its grounds, as well as a wine tasting, and everything was wonderful—very tasty and interesting. I am already dreaming of coming back here!

Great experience of a historic stay
The hotel is an actual medieval castle, this is stunning. It is surrounded by vast forests and vineyards, so the views around are amazing. We also did a wine tasting at the castle and really liked the experience.
We’ve booked a deluxe room hoping for some antiques or histories feel in the decor of the room based on the photos provided. Although the room was stylish and really pleasant, it did not have any of that, just a modern decor throughout.
Hiking trail around the castle through the vineyards is also not clearly marked.

We enjoyed our stay very much. After Rome, and Venice, the quiet and peacefulness of Castle Meleto was very welcomed.
We are a family of 5 adults and chose to stay in one of the 3 bdrm villas set apart from the castle. Villa Massillone. We were very comfortable and had amazing views all around. The evening we arrived, a wedding was occurring and there was music from the reception which we enjoyed very much. If you want peace and quiet, you will enjoy this stay. But there are so many different activities going on if you want something to do. The breakfast spread was amazing! And it was nice to have king size beds to sleep on in Italy. Seems that’s a rarity.
I thought the seating in living room of Villa Massellone was a bit odd. Two white chairs that didn’t fit with the decor. But you really never sit inside because the view outside was spectacular!

Castle Life
I felt like princess. The castle was incredible. The swimming pool(s) were amazing overlooking the vineyards. The breakfast was abundant and delicious. We also loved the Meleto restaurant, not in the castle but a little down the road. The wine tour and wines were fantastic. Truly magical place!
It was beyond perfect!!!!

Wonderful one night stay in Chianti.
Castello Di Meleto is beautiful. We enjoyed our one night stay and felt that it was just enough time at the castle. The location is quiet and serene.
Bathrooms were clean and updated.
The pools over look stunning vineyards and the property.
Breakfast on site and dinner at their restaurant was good and nice to have given there is not much around.
The pools were slightly a let down, not very clean in and around the pool.
The room was nice but felt very dated.

Loved this. Castle.
We stayed in the apartment and it was really spacious. We loved having our own patio with loungers. We took a tour of the castle; the winery and even took the pasta making class. We loved this castle hotel. The parking was very close to our room. This is the quietest place we ever stayed. We opted for the breakfast package and it was really nice and well laid out

Great experience for wine lovers.
Absolutely stunning. We did the wine tour as well which is worth doing. The castle rooms are lovely. The bathroom was gorgeous. There’s also a huge infinity pool on the grounds where you can look out over the countryside. Breakfast was buffet style with beautiful fresh local produce.

Skip the hotel, visit only the winery
Winery, restaurant & cooking class were all excellent. Staff at the winery was very friendly.
Unfortunately: Rooms were a bit outdated, breakfast was very limited.
We had an issue with 1 out of 3 of the rooms upon check in because it was not cleaned properly (due to numerous large dead bugs on the floor, near windows) so they changed the room to one inside the castello. We asked if the remaining room which was in the outhouse could be moved also in the castello but they said no due to space. A few hours after we also had a bug issue in the room, alive in the bedroom and bathroom, dead in the bed linen. Cleaning was not done for that room in the morning during our stay, and we only realised when we returned to rest at 3:30pm, and they could not come back after 4pm so ultimately the room was not cleaned.

Fabulous location and setting, and a comfortable hotel
Amazing location and building, friendly staff, good breakfast, great wine tasting and dinner at the restaurant.
The room itself was a little tired and cramped at the price, although still perfectly comfortable.

perfect place to stay in Tuscany
the place was great! the staff was amazing! the property is stunning! we did a cooking class on the property and it was one of the highlights of the trip! highly recommend the place! I will be back!
no complaints but keep in mind the the villas on the property like what we stayed in are great but not "new" the beds are comfortable, bathrooms good, and I have no complaints, but keep in mind that you are staying in a historical spot.

Wonderful escape from Florence into deep rural Chianti in the grounds of the castle.
Lovely facility as part of the castle grounds and surrounded by vineyard. Huge room with mezzanine bedroom. Great bathroom

An amazing experience!
What an amazing experience we had !! Stunning castle !! Mostly I was ( good way ) surprised that it was no restrictions, as in another places like this ! You could walk inside the castle anywhere you want , no signs “do not touch “ do not open “ we really felt that this castle was like ours :) lovely 2 swimming pools with a stunning views ! Don’t get scared if you meet wild boar :) while walking around castle :) the gardens just beautiful! We were amazed how good breakfast was !! Everything was so delicious and fresh !! The wines from their own vineyard really really good ! They do wine tour in a cellar !! Please make sure you buy their olive oil !!! Toooo delicious!!! Thank you and we will come back !!
One thing for us was missing is the castle restaurant !! We loved the castle so much that we did not even want our for dinners anywhere else , so hopefully they will have one ;)

Exceptional
Beautiful area, fantastic service, delicious food
1- Wine tasting is always free (on my experience from other countries) as the concept is to encourage the customer to buy a bottle of wine after tasting. Suggesting to change their approach.
2- also providing free tour from wine yard to fermentation facility, filling and packaging would be fantastic experience. This is again in line with promoting the brand of Meleto

Pleasant
It was in a beautiful setting in Tuscany.
We found the staff not very friendly or helpful. A message about what is open and closed during the day around the area would be beneficial especially as it’s so isolated. We couldn’t get any lunch. The restaurant on site doesn’t seem to be connected to the accommodation so there is no clarity of when it’s open or not. The breakfast was not great and more options could be provided. A better ambience in the breakfast room should be looked into ie. some peaceful music.

Amazing experience
Breakfast was great and the room it was in was stunning. Our room was amazing as were the surrounds and inside the castle. The pool was a huge bonus as it was very hot. We had a wine tasting in the afternoon which we enjoyed some of the local wines. The restaurant that the staff recommended in town was incredible. Totally recommend this place after all who would not want a night in a castle

Beautiful setting and lovely, friendly staff. Would recommend the hotel to anyone!
Absolutely beautiful property and setting - the view as you walk down to the restaurant doesn’t look real! Stunning. The staff were lovely and helped us so much when we needed to find transport. The pool was great with a spectacular view, and the apartment was very comfortable, clean and had air conditioning.
The only issue we found was getting to and from the property without a car. There is a bus service to and from Siena, but it only stops at the hotel extremely early or not til the afternoon, which wasn’t helpful for checkout time. Instead we ended up paying an extortionate €90 for the 30-minute journey to the train station, so I’d highly recommend hiring a car! It would be great if the hotel could offer a shuttle or car from Siena for a bit of extra money on the room.

A lovely place with amazing views letdown somewhat by indifferent attention to detail by the provider.
Beautiful accommodation with landmark views in a stunning location. Really nice breakfast.
This property is trading heavily on its landmark view, at the expense of attention to detail with facilities, and customer service. Ordinarily this might not matter but this property is charging a premium price and this was disappointing. We booked an apartment 6 months ago, but this accommodation was not available because the property was fully booked. Not my problem. The accommodation we were given appeared thrown together without attention to detail, with a broken fridge, makeshift extras fridge in the dining area. Many of the facilities listed by booking.com were missing or had not been provided, including microwave, kettle, tea and coffee welcome pack, kitchen welcome pack( washing up liquid, tea towel), TV ( not that we would have watched TV), satellite channels or safety deposit box. We had to ask for these to be provided several times as we became aware they were missing. Neither could we access our accommodation for two hours because coaches to the winery were blocking our access. These layers of poor service diminished what ought to have been a lovely experience.

Fantastic accommodation in an amazing location
What a fantastic place to stay! We booked an appartment which was huge with fantastic views over the Chianti hills. At night the silence was absolute - such a rarity these days. Breakfast was spectacular and enough for most of the rest of the day. Great location in the heart of Chianti with excellent quality wine. Thoroughly recommended
Nothing - everything was great
