Luxury meets stunning rural simplicity at Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, founded by the Ferragamo family, hitting the Tuscan tone just so. Perhaps the greatest luxury here is sheer space – and the freedom to revel in it. The 800-year-old estate is more than 2,000 hectares, affording 23 suites in the central hamlet and 11 very much individual villas in their own 17th and 18th century farmhouses. Each of the latter has been handsomely restored with its own heated pool and a rustic chic that pervades every room, and leather accents befitting the property’s esteemed proprietor. Supremely comfortable and effortlessly sophisticated, this is an arresting destination that begs return visits as frequently as possible.
A holistic spa is housed in the former wine cellars, while an outdoor heated infinity pool lined by lavender enjoys a panoramic view of the Tuscan countryside. Montalcino is a hilltop town overlooking Siena’s UNESCO-designated Val d’Orcia: a beautiful region that will nourish the soul.
