Castello di Pontebosio Luxury Resort in Pontebosio, open JuneSeptember.

Castello di Pontebosio stands apart as Tuscany's only 15th-century castle resort offering on-site accommodations for 100+ guests within its medieval walls, eliminating the logistical complexity of coordinating multiple hotels.

This stone fortress combines operational simplicity with authentic Renaissance architecture, allowing couples to host ceremonies in the courtyard, receptions in vaulted halls, and welcome their entire party under one roof.

Rated 4.5/5, the property functions as a fully staffed venue-hotel hybrid rather than a traditional event space.

Wow what a place A true castle with beautiful scenery a gorgeous walk on both sides You can see the vineyards nearby The staff was absolutely amazing especially Elize. She checked us in quickly And set us up with spa for 2 (highly recommend) was so relaxing after a long day. Then later dinner was very good she was the host, waitress, and front desk. The hotel was like staying in a true castle the rooms were great. Very spacious beds were comfortable. Breakfast was absolutely amazing
