Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco
Offering spectacular views across rolling Tuscan countryside to the wine-producing hill town of Montalcino, this 800-year-old estate is the film-set Tuscany of popular imagination.
The vast 5,000-acre estate includes a working winery, a crumbling castle set up on a hillside, an 18-hole golf course, a cookery school where you can learn to make traditional Tuscan dishes with organic ingredients from the garden, a gorgeous spa offering a range of indulgent treatments, and a scene-stealing infinity pool overlooking Montalcino, Val d’Orcia and the woods of Castiglion del Bosco.
At the centre of it all is the hotel itself, whose 42 suites exude a rich sense of authenticity, with heritage features, antique furnishings, local textiles and artisanal accessories. In addition, 11 one-of-a-kind villas dot the landscape, each created from restored 17th- and 18th-century Tuscan farmhouses. These private homes provide luxurious lodging and feature heated pools, terraces, pergolas and gardens – all framed by the unmatched natural beauty of the Tuscan countryside.
There are two restaurants: Osteria La Canonica, a trattoria with a cute terrace and a tree at its centre where simple but magnificent pasta dishes are served, and Campo del Drago, which earned its first Michelin star in 2022.
