Il Colombaiolo — Hotel in Castellina in Chianti

My wife and I stayed at Albergo (Hotel) Il Colombaio for 3 nights as we explored the Chianti and Siena regions. The hotel is a large farmhouse that has been updated to make your stay comfortable while still retaining the original rustic character. Parking is off street and easy to use. The room and common areas were spotlessly clean and well appointed. Roberta, the owner, was very friendly and helpful with all of our questions. Roberta's mother was there when we checked in and since her English was about as good as our Italian our check in experience was one of those times that makes travel so rewarding. She was a wonderful lady and we got it done with some memories to go along with it. Castellina itself was one of our favorite small towns with several great restaurants and historical sites. All of these are a short walk from the hotel. Would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay...

It feels good to come back to a place where time seems to slow down.

Il Colombaio is more than just a stay for us. It’s familiar smiles, warm greetings, and that same welcoming atmosphere we remembered.

The rooms here have their own authentic Tuscan charm – wooden beams, thick stone walls, a cozy vintage style that reminds you you’re in the real Chianti, not a postcard version of it.

Thank you for the warm hospitality and for making us feel at home again. Wishing lots of strength, health, and joy to the wonderful people who bring this place to life 🧡

If you’re planning to explore Chianti, we truly recommend staying here. Perfect location near the town center, a pool for slow sunny days, and a feeling that you’re welcomed as a friend.

We've just come back from Tuscany and stayed for a week at the Il Colombaio for our honeymoon. The hotel is lovely full of rustic charm. The breakfasts were yummy - fresh croissants every morning with a delicious cappuccino. Everyone was really helpful and Roberta was lovely and speaks great English especially with all the questions I have about the area. Our room was clean and the we had fresh linen and towels every couple of days. The hotel is centrally placed to visit all the towns and sights of Tuscany and the village was a 5 minute walk ideal for our evening meals on the various restaurants. Will definitely return and stay again. Thankyou for helping to make our honeymoon really special. Michelle and...
