Castello Di Valenzano

Amazing location, good food and wine, good service. The castle is perched high up in the hills, a bit of a hard climb for our little hire car but worth it, as the views from the top especially as the sun was setting were amazing. Well worth a visit.

Not sure what else to say: the service was slow and poor, even by Italian standards; the food was meh, and the menu was un-creative and unchanging. The restaurant was also closed on days it was supposed to be open, and opened late beyond the posted hour. Call first, or better yet, go elsewhere.

Amazing castle hidden within the northern Arezzo 's hills casentino . Very accurate and kind service, all food cooked on the spot, especially the grilled meat steak, pork chops their specialities and the vegetables grown within their farm. Excellent wine selection of local vignards. Pleasant outdoor seating. The table setting a little bit too cheap not in line with the location, yet a very very nice place. Speisekarte ansehen

We had a BBQ on the friday and our wedding diner on the saturday. We stayed in the hotel twice before and everything is perfect. All our guest were blown away with the quality of the food.The wine is lovely and the breakfast all you need. Don' t forget to get the chocolate lava cake as desert, it' s devine!! And if this is not enough, the staff is so nice, the views stunningly beautiful and the hotel is great. We are big travellers but this place is definitely a gem!

We stayed at the Castello and this restaurant is in the grounds not owned by the Castello we booked through the hotel reception Lots of Italian families and couples this we were the only English speaking people there Great service and excellent foo Had an amazing glass of wine, so sorry i didn't ask if I could buy a bottle but I am going to try to track it down I had the gnocchi which were huge and filled with mozzarella, my husband said the ribs were very good The tiramisu was the best we had during our month in Italy

We celebrated our Wedding at the Castello di Valenzano. We had arranged everything by e mail, and had not even seen the castle before the day before the wedding. However, we were not disappointed! The castle is beautiful, has a great location high up in the hills outside Arezzo, and is surrounded by lovely gardens. The food is great, and we were incredibly impressed by the service both how they managed to make everything (flowers, food, music) perfectly in accordance to our wishes, and the way they kept everything running smoothly during the day while taking great care of us and our guests. Warmly recommended! Speisekarte ansehen

Our stay at the castle of Valenzano, far from towns or shops, made us discover the very good homemade type of food restaurant on its premises. Homemade pasta, and roasts had generous servings. Their desserts were not however very original, but the ice cream and fruit salad were always present. A good selection of wines allowed the visitor to try some of the best Regional Italian wines. After breakfast, a walk on the small park was an opportunity to tour among the old trees still standing. We enjoyed the stay and were given a very big room reserved for the married couple, it was called the Egyptian room...and we even had a small dining room just for us!

on our last day in italy this year, we had dinner in the castello di valenzano. It was a steep road up in the dark but then there it was not a italian house or villa but a real castle, a big one ! after looking a bit for the entrance of the restaurant we climbed up the stairs and found an empty place. Yes it was wednessday evening but empty ? We had a look on the menu, very sympathetic chef de salle by the way, and three of us had the menu 25 euro for 25 dishes (yes you have red right! and my sun had the classical antipasto and afterwards the steak. We had a fantastic experience the dishes were small of course (25 of them but most were well prepared (some hot ones might have been to cold and...

Only open Thursday thru Sunday when we were there, so we just caught Saturday night and Sunday. We didn't know what to expect, and were thrilled to be delighted! A dark walk (9pm up old stone stairs to an unassuming old wooden door... we opened thinking we must be in the wrong place. The place was packed! So warm and cheery and the food smelled DIVINE. We ordered a bunch (pizza x 2 one for each of us! and pici pasta and beer and we couldn't wait to come back again the next day to try the things we couldn't make room for! LOL. Our waitress, Agunstina, was so helpful. She spoke enough English for us to speak comfortably with her and ask questions about the food and the area. She wrote down a f... Speisekarte ansehen
