Fodor's Expert Review Castello di Gargonza

SR73, Monte San Savino, Tuscany, 52048, Italy Fodor's Choice

Enchantment reigns at this tiny 13th-century countryside hamlet, part of the fiefdom of the aristocratic Florentine Guicciardini family and reinvented by the modern Count Roberto Guicciardini. A castle, church, and cobbled streets set the stage. Guest rooms vary in style; high wood-beam ceilings, terra-cotta floors, and modern bathrooms are the rule throughout. Apartments have three to eight rooms each, sleeping as many as 10 people, and have as many as four baths.

PROS

  • romantic, one-of-a-kind accommodation in a medieval castle
  • peaceful, isolated setting
  • on-site restaurant

CONS

  • standard rooms are extremely basic
  • a little out of the way for exploring the region
  • private transportation is a necessity
