What guests think
At Castello di Montalbano, travelers love the romantic castle atmosphere and panoramic Florence views, while repeatedly noting the secluded setting, steep access, and costly or unreliable taxis that make having a car or detailed arrival plans very helpful.
Rooms span from spacious and romantic with jacuzzis to dated or poorly maintained, with reports of musty odors, broken fixtures, and unstable Wi‑Fi. Feedback on dining varies: some enjoyed hearty breakfasts or prebooked dinners, while others found no restaurant or bar on site. Service ranges from warm and accommodating to hard to reach, with limited on‑site staffing and check‑in or taxi arrangements needing advance coordination. Overall, expect a memorable historic stay if you are self‑sufficient.

I suggest this hotel be delisted on Expedia.This place was not as advertised on Expedia. It had no expected services such as restaurant, or any any food services, the room was were assigned was third class at best and the hotel was much les from city centre. We did not check in or stay at the hotel after arriving and had to find other accommodations for our stay in Florence

Not as expected, very misleading re bar and restaurant. You have to track down someone and ask if there is food and the bar is a wine list. Lots of stairs, if they ever finish the renovations it could be a nice place. Best thing is the view. But sorry to say I would not recommend staying here.

If you didn’t rent a car, be prepared to walk up a hill! Castle is quiet and beautiful. No amenities around and you need to prebook if you want food while there. There’s no fridge/glasses so factor that in if you’re enjoying wine or food there!

The property was nice, it’s what to expect from a castle. We didnt have a shower in our room just the jacuzzi bath but the staff informed us when we got there about it. The staff was very nice and tried to give as much info as possible about the room and everything. There are no elevators so we had to carry our luggage up the stairs. It was expected though because of the age of the establishment. I does say they offer 24hr room service but when I asked about getting food or drinks they told me to walk to the town and there would be places open. Also if you plan to take a taxi out of there make sure you book it a day in advance as they said they were all booked when we tried to leave and we ended up having to walk to a nearby bus station. Overall it was a nice stay and as long as you know what you’re getting it’s a nice place to stay

What's not to like about staying in a medieval Italian Castle? Great views of Florence from the two rooms we stayed in. There is plenty of parking for your car and its a five minute drive to Florence. The complimentary breakfast is delicious and filling for a day out on the town. The best part about the Castle is the awesome staff. These are the nicest and friendliest people! They do speak English making communication easy. They are very accommodating making a stay at the Castle feel more intimate and friendly!

Based on the pictures and description of the property, we were expecting a well appointed property and room…..bit of luxury. As someone mentioned, this place is not as advertised! There is no restaurant, no bar., no pool and no spa services that we could see. The property needs some TLC, the ‘bar’ is non existent, the tables etc in the breakfast area are old and there are no comfortable chairs to sit in the garden. The rooms on the ad were taken at night with lots of candles on purpose….to make the rooms look way nicer than they are! There are some nice touches but the rooms come off as ‘kitschy’. There was no shower curtain on our tub that had a shower…no privacy. One last thing is that the description needs to have specific info on what to do when you arrive. The plate at the driveway does not have the name of the actual hotel and you need to ring a bell to get in. Two positives are that the bed was comfortable and staff were friendly (although hard to reach when you needed them).

Don't be fooled by the picture of beautiful facade at night. This is not what you get. There is a long staircase leading to second floor (no luggage help - but we realized why later). Small rooms with a Jacuzzi as the focal point right in the room. Rooms smell like toilet deodorant, cheap furniture. The attendant was surprised when she saw us, carrying luggage, having booked the place for 2 nights. Why? Because this is a dating hotel for a night without luggage. Our room was full of pictures of a "famous prostitute". In the hallway was a couple having wine. The woman was cheating on her husband with this man - we overheard her phone conversation. Crazy stuff! We did not stay, even though the attendant refused to help get a refund - she said it was not possible. However, if you bring a prostitute or you are cheating, this place is great, very secluded, private gait, no signs - full privacy. But if you are a vacationer, stay away.

The property was pretty, the views were great, our room was huge, and, the bed was comfortable with a jetted tub. For those who travel here, it is great if you have a car or taxi as it is a 1/2 mile up a steep long driveway. I also suggest that guests bring snacks and beverages as there are none on the property and it is hard to find staff if you have questions.

Hotel room doesn’t look like the pictures they advertise. There is no restaurant/bar or Pool and the staff is non existent. We heard the noise of dripping water from the toilet all night. It was almost impossible to get a taxi from this hotel. Will not stay here again and definitely don’t recommend.

Tivemos um problema no nosso quarto, pedimos para trocar e a equipe nós deu um upgride para um quarto melhor e mais limpo. A internet é muito instável e a tv não é smart. O ponto de maior atenção é a localização, só recomendo se estiver de carro, o ônibus para a uma certa distância, 500m do trecho é uma subida íngreme, que feita à pé é bem sofrida! Se voltar a noite, um trecho é feito totalmente às escuras! Bem complicado! Não voltaria!

The images don't reflect reality. The property looks abandoned. It's sad to see it practically in ruins. I don't understand how Expedia has this in their options.

Beautiful property/views and the host was so kind! The room was overall comfortable. I would say the only downside of the place was that the bathroom was not private. The shower was all glass and open to the entire room. The hot tub also did not work properly, when you turn the bubble jets on, pieces of dirt came out.

Inoltre la pulizia delle camere e delle vasche non era adeguata.

Les abords de ce château sont magnifiques : une belle allee, une cour d'honneur et un porche médiéval avec un jasmin extraordinaire. Mais à l'intérieur déception : Tout semble un peu bricolé et pas très propre. Odeur d'humidité dans la chambre, le lit confortable mais qui grince et beaucoup, salle de bain dont la propreté est limite. Et les trains qui ne cessent de passer ( la ligne de chemin de fer passe juste sous l'hôtel) et ne permettent pas de laisser la fenêtre ouverte.( heureusement bon double vitrage) On entend le voisin de chambre qui tousse, les bruits de couloir . Petit déjeuner très copieux et bon si vous choisissez la formule salée et une vague assiette de petits gâteaux pour la formule sucrée et malheureusement servi à l'intérieur alors que le jardin serait merveilleux pour un petit déjeuner. Pour rattraper, une magnifique vue sur Florence depuis la salle à manger ! Accueil bon, mais difficile d'obtenir un sourire de la personne servant les petits déjeuners. Bref, dommage, car le lieu est magnifique mais trop de choses qui n'arrivent pas à faire oublier les trains incessants et le reste.

The room was very old, which was basically to be expected...BUT also simply not maintained! That was really a shame. The smell was musty and damp and within half an hour we were completely bitten by mosquitoes. There were also a lot of little things that bothered us, such as the plug for the Yakusi not fitting, the hairdryer not working and the glass wall (the bracket was still there) of the bathtub was missing. The 190€ for one night was simply not worth it!

Our room was full of pictures of a "famous prostitute". In the hallway was a couple having wine. The woman was cheating on her husband with this man - we overheard her phone conversation. Crazy stuff! We did not stay, even though the attendant refused to help get a refund - she said it was not possible. However, if you bring a prostitute or you are cheating, this place is great, very secluded, private gait, no signs - full privacy. But if you are a vacationer, stay away.

The room was very old, which was basically to be expected...BUT also simply not maintained! That was really a shame. The smell was musty and damp and within half an hour we were completely bitten by mosquitoes. There were also a lot of little things that bothered us, such as the plug for the Yakusi not fitting, the hairdryer not working and the glass wall (the bracket was still there) of the bathtub was missing. The 190€ for one night was simply not worth it!

The property was pretty, the views were great, our room was huge, and, the bed was comfortable with a jetted tub. For those who travel here, it is great if you have a car or taxi as it is a 1/2 mile up a steep long driveway. I also suggest that guests bring snacks and beverages as there are none on the property and it is hard to find staff if you have questions.

Hotel room doesn’t look like the pictures they advertise. There is no restaurant/bar or Pool and the staff is non existent. We heard the noise of dripping water from the toilet all night. It was almost impossible to get a taxi from this hotel. Will not stay here again and definitely don’t recommend.

Not as expected, very misleading re bar and restaurant. You have to track down someone and ask if there is food and the bar is a wine list. Lots of stairs, if they ever finish the renovations it could be a nice place. Best thing is the view. But sorry to say I would not recommend staying here.

El trato y la atención del personal fue excelente. El hotel es de sueño. No se salten la experiencia de cenar y desayunar aquí. El hotel está ubicado en las afueras de Florencia y el transporte público no es buena opción. Taxis o plataformas como Uber. Muy caras. Las vistas desde el hotel son espectaculares y en general el hotel es muy agradable y cómodo para disfrutar en pareja. Un plus es que también son Pet friendly.

What's not to like about staying in a medieval Italian Castle? Great views of Florence from the two rooms we stayed in. There is plenty of parking for your car and its a five minute drive to Florence. The complimentary breakfast is delicious and filling for a day out on the town. The best part about the Castle is the awesome staff. These are the nicest and friendliest people! They do speak English making communication easy. They are very accommodating making a stay at the Castle feel more intimate and friendly!

Based on the pictures and description of the property, we were expecting a well appointed property and room…..bit of luxury. As someone mentioned, this place is not as advertised! There is no restaurant, no bar., no pool and no spa services that we could see. The property needs some TLC, the ‘bar’ is non existent, the tables etc in the breakfast area are old and there are no comfortable chairs to sit in the garden. The rooms on the ad were taken at night with lots of candles on purpose….to make the rooms look way nicer than they are! There are some nice touches but the rooms come off as ‘kitschy’. There was no shower curtain on our tub that had a shower…no privacy. One last thing is that the description needs to have specific info on what to do when you arrive. The plate at the driveway does not have the name of the actual hotel and you need to ring a bell to get in. Two positives are that the bed was comfortable and staff were friendly (although hard to reach when you needed them).

This family run manor is a charming small hotel. There is a lovely view of Florence from the roof top patio and the breakfast room. The service and welcome was warm. The rooms are set up for romantic stays. Our story though, after we had checked out we discovered our rental car key fob was dead. Enie, the owner of Montalbano spent hours helping us by calling the car rental company, being on hold, waiting for a callback, waiting finally for the tow truck. He brought us to the dining room to wait and served us cappucinos and biscuits, while he waited outside for the call from the tow truck. We were no longer guests of the hotel, yet Enie was so kind to us. This hospitality is the sign of true service.

Tivemos um problema no nosso quarto, pedimos para trocar e a equipe nós deu um upgride para um quarto melhor e mais limpo. A internet é muito instável e a tv não é smart. O ponto de maior atenção é a localização, só recomendo se estiver de carro, o ônibus para a uma certa distância, 500m do trecho é uma subida íngreme, que feita à pé é bem sofrida! Se voltar a noite, um trecho é feito totalmente às escuras! Bem complicado! Não voltaria!

If you didn’t rent a car, be prepared to walk up a hill! Castle is quiet and beautiful. No amenities around and you need to prebook if you want food while there. There’s no fridge/glasses so factor that in if you’re enjoying wine or food there!

The property was nice, it’s what to expect from a castle. We didnt have a shower in our room just the jacuzzi bath but the staff informed us when we got there about it. The staff was very nice and tried to give as much info as possible about the room and everything. There are no elevators so we had to carry our luggage up the stairs. It was expected though because of the age of the establishment. I does say they offer 24hr room service but when I asked about getting food or drinks they told me to walk to the town and there would be places open. Also if you plan to take a taxi out of there make sure you book it a day in advance as they said they were all booked when we tried to leave and we ended up having to walk to a nearby bus station. Overall it was a nice stay and as long as you know what you’re getting it’s a nice place to stay

Don't be fooled by the picture of beautiful facade at night. This is not what you get. There is a long staircase leading to second floor (no luggage help - but we realized why later). Small rooms with a Jacuzzi as the focal point right in the room. Rooms smell like toilet deodorant, cheap furniture. The attendant was surprised when she saw us, carrying luggage, having booked the place for 2 nights. Why? Because this is a dating hotel for a night without luggage. Our room was full of pictures of a "famous prostitute". In the hallway was a couple having wine. The woman was cheating on her husband with this man - we overheard her phone conversation. Crazy stuff! We did not stay, even though the attendant refused to help get a refund - she said it was not possible. However, if you bring a prostitute or you are cheating, this place is great, very secluded, private gait, no signs - full privacy. But if you are a vacationer, stay away.

Les abords de ce château sont magnifiques : une belle allee, une cour d'honneur et un porche médiéval avec un jasmin extraordinaire. Mais à l'intérieur déception : Tout semble un peu bricolé et pas très propre. Odeur d'humidité dans la chambre, le lit confortable mais qui grince et beaucoup, salle de bain dont la propreté est limite. Et les trains qui ne cessent de passer ( la ligne de chemin de fer passe juste sous l'hôtel) et ne permettent pas de laisser la fenêtre ouverte.( heureusement bon double vitrage) On entend le voisin de chambre qui tousse, les bruits de couloir . Petit déjeuner très copieux et bon si vous choisissez la formule salée et une vague assiette de petits gâteaux pour la formule sucrée et malheureusement servi à l'intérieur alors que le jardin serait merveilleux pour un petit déjeuner. Pour rattraper, une magnifique vue sur Florence depuis la salle à manger ! Accueil bon, mais difficile d'obtenir un sourire de la personne servant les petits déjeuners. Bref, dommage, car le lieu est magnifique mais trop de choses qui n'arrivent pas à faire oublier les trains incessants et le reste.

Based on the pictures and description of the property, we were expecting a well appointed property and room…..bit of luxury. As someone mentioned, this place is not as advertised! There is no restaurant, no bar., no pool and no spa services that we could see. The property needs some TLC, the ‘bar’ is non existent, the tables etc in the breakfast area are old and there are no comfortable chairs to sit in the garden. The rooms on the ad were taken at night with lots of candles on purpose….to make the rooms look way nicer than they are! There are some nice touches but the rooms come off as ‘kitschy’. There was no shower curtain on our tub that had a shower…no privacy. One last thing is that the description needs to have specific info on what to do when you arrive. The plate at the driveway does not have the name of the actual hotel and you need to ring a bell to get in. Two positives are that the bed was comfortable and staff were friendly (although hard to reach when you needed them).

Hotel room doesn’t look like the pictures they advertise. There is no restaurant/bar or Pool and the staff is non existent. We heard the noise of dripping water from the toilet all night.

The best part about the Castle is the awesome staff. These are the nicest and friendliest people! They do speak English making communication easy. They are very accommodating making a stay at the Castle feel more intimate and friendly!

The images don't reflect reality. The property looks abandoned. It's sad to see it practically in ruins. I don't understand how Expedia has this in their options.

If you didn’t rent a car, be prepared to walk up a hill! Castle is quiet and beautiful. No amenities around and you need to prebook if you want food while there. There’s no fridge/glasses so factor that in if you’re enjoying wine or food there!
