We got married here last summer and couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out! The setting was stunning and staff so welcome. Neri, Roberta and her team put together a wonderful event. And the property is extra special for being able to accommodate all 75 of our guests. Highly recommend for your event or simply a visit!

My daughter and I stayed at this lovely castle last October. We had a wonderful time and the food was delicious! We also enjoyed day trips from the castle to Sienna and Pienza. We highly recommend Castello di Gargonza for your stay in the wonder of Italy!
