Banfi has expansive, lush, drop dead views (that alone is saying a lot in Tuscany). I liked the clear and welcome division between the Borgo (a really small private building near huge cypress trees) and the Banfi tasting area so that it feels quite secluded and private. Michelin restaurant was fantastic, and the chef has a really honed sense of humor re the amuse-bouche...literally laughed out loud a few times with his entertaining presentations. I enjoyed a down to earth and educational wine tasting, and also appreciated pre-dinner cocktails in the cozy fire-lit library (lots of interior design books to sample!). They went out of their way to rescue my husband on a bike ride during a nasty storm. But most of all, Banfi clearly stands by their hospitality standards and services; there was a small wrinkle and I felt they were incredibly generous with their response. I want to thank the whole team, both at La Sala dei Grappoli and the Borgo sincerely for that, and we certainly hope to be back to this stupendous location.
