Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
By Axel Hernborg · Updated 5 September 2026 · How we review hotels
Castello di Velona Resort, Thermal SPA & Winery is suited to guests wanting a full resort experience layered with wine and thermal treatments. The hillside property overlooks the Val d'Orcia and produces its own wine and olive oil on-site, while three distinct dining venues offer variety rarely matched by smaller hotels in the area; a helipad is available for private arrivals. The thermal spa carries an additional charge beyond the room rate, and the hillside location is remote enough that driving is the only practical way to explore further afield. Pricing overall reflects the resort's scale and exclusivity.
Guests score it 8.9 out of 10 — the average across the 16 hotels we list in Tuscany is 9.3.
What Guests Loved
- Perched on a hill in Montalcino, the resort overlooks the rolling vineyards and countryside of Val d'Orcia, giving nearly every room and terrace a distinct sense of place tied to the Tuscan landscape.
- The estate produces its own wine and olive oil, allowing guests to taste regional Sangiovese and extra virgin oil directly from the source, often paired with meals at the on-site restaurants.
Things to Consider
- Access to the spa and wellness center comes at an extra cost, which may be unexpected for guests who assume such facilities are included at a five-star property.
- The hillside setting near Montalcino, while scenic, means guests without a car may find it less convenient to reach town centers, restaurants, or train connections independently.
