The castle itself is very picturesque, built in stone in a square hill overlooking Greve in Chianti. It has a peaceful and a dominating position in front of Montefioralle Castle. From the garden and the windows you have a magnificent, panoramic view of rolling Chianti hills, olive groves and vineyards. The apartments have use of a large lovely private garden (450 m²).

Our castle in the clouds! Can't wait to return.
Dear family,
First of all many thanks for your great review. We appreciate your comments very much and wish to let you know that to learn that your stay at the Colognole Castle was a positive stay is a great gift for us. It has been a great pleasure for us to meet you all and look forward to your return. A strong hug to the parents and to their wonderful four children. Ciao!
Dream come true in Tuscany
The gardens and the views from this hilltop castle were awesome.
Absolutely fabulous!! Our second time and Rosita and Rita made us feel like family.
Amazing place, great hosts
An amazing experience
Dear wonderful family,
We enjoyed so much meeting you all and we are very thankful to have booked one of our apartments. Your satisfaction for the apartment and the surrounding makes us happy. It has been also a great opportunity for our 9 years old grandson to meet your kids. The only regret was your too short stay but we look forward to your return in a future not too far. All the best to all the family.
Location
Colognole Castle is ideally located for short day trips to all of the sights of Tuscany. Florence is an hour away by car or reliable, comfortable bus service, the recommended way to visit that great city. Siena is about 1.30 h away by car to the south as is San Gimignano with its dramatic towers to the west. Colognole is perfectly located for day trips to Lucca, Pisa, Arezzo, Volterra, Perugia, Assisi and other Tuscan sites. There are many other lesser-known but equally charming Tuscan hill towns close by like Radda in Chianti, Panzano in Chianti , Castellina in Chianti, Volpaia.
