Perfect combination of gourmet creations and raw materials at zero kilometer to the Castello di Velona
The gourmet experience at Castello di Velona has no limits: indeed, the territory offers a wide selection of raw materials at zero kilometer, among which the truffles stand out, a rare and selected delight.
In the wonderful setting of the Tuscan hills, in the Val d’Orcia near the village of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, stands the Castello di Velona Resort, Thermal Spa & Winery, a building born as a fortress in the eleventh century, now UNESCO heritage, maintained intact during the course of the centuries. The raw materials that are born in the land of Val D’Orcia, always famous for their unique characteristics, are a guarantee of quality: among these stand out truffles, a real treat for the most refined palates.
And it is right in the heart of the Tuscan woods that the guests of Castello di Velona can live a unique and fascinating experience, Truffle Hunt: until December 6, in fact, you can participate in this adventure accompanied by “Tartufai” professionals, looking for the finest truffles in the beautiful landscape of Montalcino.
But spending a weekend or a holiday at Castello di Velona is always a real gourmet occasion. It is in fact possible to savor the different and infinite culinary facets that the Tuscan territory can offer, to which is added the centuries-old vine-wine tradition of the territory, from which the famous Brunello di Montalcino comes to life, of which the Castle is a producer.
The gourmet itinerary of the guests is completed in the three restaurants that are part of the complex, where it is possible to satisfy any type of palate; the chefs of Velona combine tradition and innovation to create typical dishes, but at the same time refined and perfect for the most refined palates.
The Seventh Sense, which is located in the new wing of the castle, yet with a modern character manages to convey the charm of the history of the structure. The continuous search by the chef allows to get sophisticated dishes with simple products that come from the Tuscan lands; everything is accompanied by local wines, produced directly on site. Brunello “made in Velona” is the spearhead of the wine list, which can accompany fine dinners or be tasted in the internal cloister.
In the ancient cloister, covered by a crystal dome, there is the second restaurant of the Castle, the Brunello. Not only delicious lunches and dinners, but also breakfasts or evening cocktails: Brunello explores every type of traditional dish, to propose it to visitors in a gourmet key. The magic, at the Castle of Velona, envelops guests at any time. Next to the cloister, in a rustic and comfortable environment where a large fireplace dominates, there is a bar with a large panoramic terrace where in the warm season breakfast is served in the morning under the shade of the gazebo.
Finally, for the lovers of the wellness area, the third restaurant, the Dolce Vita Pool Restaurant, completes all the needs of the customers. You can enjoy a cocktail by the pool or enjoy a light lunch in this small oasis immersed in the magical Tuscan landscape.
