Relais Castel Bigozzi in Strove.

Castello Bigozzi dates to the medieval period and has been meticulously restored to preserve its original stone architecture while incorporating modern hospitality amenities.

This fortified residence in Tuscany's Val d'Orcia region maintains its historic character across 13 hectares of Sienese countryside.

The property functions as a luxury hotel and events venue, offering intimate access to Renaissance-era Italian heritage.

Worst hotel experience ever – avoid at all costs. Two hours after our arrival, we discovered a bed bug on the pillow. This alone is unacceptable, but what followed was even worse. A staff member lied, claiming they didn’t know what it was, had never seen one before, and that they were going to close the hotel to treat it. None of this was true. The hotel was not closed, no treatment was done, and they later admitted there had already been bed bug infestations the previous year. We saw it also in previous reviews from other guests. This shows a complete lack of honesty and serious negligence toward guests’ health and safety. At 8 p.m., we were forced to urgently find another place to stay, with zero help, zero support, and no compensation offered by the hotel. We were left completely on our own. After returning home, we had to pay for a specialized pest control company to treat all our clothes, luggage, and personal belongings, which was extremely stressful and costly. This place puts its guests at risk and takes no responsibility. Run. Avoid this hotel at all costs.
