Castello Vicchiomaggio is beautifully located and has the most stunning of views but despite this we found staying there a most disappointing experience. The rooms are reasonably well presented but they are extremely cold , even at the beginning of June . There are heaters in the room but they barely work and are insufficent to heat the rooms. There... More

We spent a night doing the wine tour and having dinner and this place has some of the best olive oil we have ever had. We regret not buying some when we were there. The wine tour was excellent and the staff giving the tour was wonderful even after we were 30 minutes late to the tasting. Their Chianti Classico... More

This was a beautiful place to stay with comfortable, warm beds, nice new bathrooms and unbelievable views. The good thing to know about finding this place is that there is a hotel with a similar name outside Greve (Vinniomaggio) and that you need to go another kilometer or so to Greti to find Vicchiomaggio. Another helpful thing is that if... More

We spent this past weekend here, the first weekend of the season for the Castello, and we were the only guests. It was cold and rainy, definitely not a classic Tuscan weekend, but it was still a pleasure. A different side of Tuscany. Clean and comfortable suite with a kitchen and separate bedroom. The hosts are friendly and helpful and... More

We were driving from Panzano to Florence and en route stopped into Castello Vicchiomaggio for a wine tasting, thinking we'd add a bottle to our growing collection. They were just opening and we almost turned around: good thing we didn't. After trying two or three samples, we picked up a couple bottles: one we drank a few nights later. The... More

This review is a little delayed however the hotel and the Matta family deserve a review so I couldn't not write. I booked Castello Vicchiomaggio as part of a WineShare membership for my boyfriend and we went there this September for 2 days after having spent some time in Florence and Pisa. Driving up the hill itself was when the... More

We had our wedding party in Vicchiomaggio Castle in October 2012. The service was good and delightful, all our hosts were satisfied. However, if you want to organize a party there be aware of the poor professional skills of the Caste’s staff and of the landlady as well. It was impossible to gather simple information, such as the number of... More

It is rather expensive and guess not for all travellers, but any visit to Tuscany will be highly appreciated if one can spare a day in this wonderful castle The view from anywhere is magnificent, green mountains and a valley just facing the little hill where the castle lies. The typical yellow-pale houses, with thick walls . The swimming-pool pouring... More
