This year we decided to spend our Easter in Tuscany. Last February we were visiting Montalcino, when we stopped by at Castello di Velona by chance. The castle was closed because of the renovations of the thermal pools, but Roxana, a real nice and kind lady from the hotel, allowed us in and let us visit the castle. We were there the whole morning, sipping coffee while she was telling us the story of the castle and all the services offered at the premises. She told us about the immense restoration work that the castle faced many years ago and we were amazed by her way of talking with full love and dedication. She was a real host! Once we finished touring the castle, we fell in love with it so quickly that we decided to book for our Easter holiday. We arrived this past Saturday and spent two days there. We felt as if we were in a fairy tale. Our room was a UNESCO room, very quiet and with a spectacular view. It was finely furnished and extremely clean. The bed was very comfortable. In the evening we dined at Settimo Senso Restaurant. We were welcomed by Mrs. Mirela, who was very professional and described to us all the dishes we ordered. The wine, Brunello di Montalcino, strictly of their production, was truly divine and so was the sommelier. In addition to having appreciated and savoured everything, we complimented for the impeccable service as well as the available and kind staff, including Alessandro, the F&B manager of the castle. Yesterday we spent a beautiful day at the thermal Spa and Dr. Paolo Bruno explained to us all the benefits of the thermal waters which come from a depth of 250 meters. We then had lunch by the pool and even there the service was impeccable. Food was great and well served. Today we will leave sadly and we are already thinking of coming back in July. We thank all the staff so much for letting us have a wonderful stay. We discovered this magnificent castle and it will always be in our hearts. Special thanks to Alessandro Sapia, the hotel manager. We met not only a professional, but also a very kind and nice person. We will be back soon!
