Castello di Velona

Perched on a scenic ridge in Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Castello di Velona is a luxurious resort set within a restored 11th-century fortress. Originally built to guard the ancient Via Clodia, the castle has witnessed centuries of Tuscan history—including the fierce rivalry between Siena and Florence. Today, it blends historic grandeur with modern indulgence, offering guests a magical stay amidst olive groves, vineyards, and thermal waters. Many rooms and suites feature open views of the countryside, while the Velona Thermal Spa & Winery provides an unparalleled wellness experience using the site’s own natural hot springs. With refined local cuisine, Brunello wines, and unforgettable sunsets, Castello di Velona is a destination in itself.
