In the center of Castellina, this 15th-century palace is a tranquil place to stay. Rooms are spacious, with high ceilings, tile floors, and 18th-century furnishings; bathrooms are tiled in local stone. Many of the rooms have views of the valley below, some look toward the town's main pedestrian street. Common areas are elegant, with deep, plush couches that invite you to recline. There's an ample breakfast buffet throughout the year, and you can arrange for a light lunch in the warmer months. The multilingual staff goes out of its way to be helpful. Users of fodors.com praised the "lovely room, fantastic views," and "friendly staff." Pros: Great location, elegant public spaces. Cons: On a street with no car access, across from a noisy restaurant.
