History & Story
Located within the UNESCO-listed Val d’Orcia in the Brunello di Montalcino winemaking region, Castiglion del Bosco, A Rosewood Hotel is set within a 5,000-acre country estate founded by Massimo and Chiara Ferragamo. The Italian resort is a celebration of the natural beauty and rich gastronomic heritage of Tuscany.
A superb culinary destination, Castiglion del Bosco, A Rosewood Hotel features two restaurants, an organic vegetable garden and a cooking school. Ancient castle ruins, a medieval church, a pampering spa, a fitness center, plentiful leisure facilities and a carefully curated selection of activities and excursions designed to highlight the region’s landscape and culture count among the offerings of this stylish world-class retreat.
Warmed by gentle Tuscan hues, the resort’s spacious suites and villas offer exceptional comfort and the chance to enjoy an area of outstanding natural beauty in a framework of understated, cultured sophistication. The 42 suites exude harmony with antique furniture, genuine textiles and artisanal pieces. Exposed wooden beams and cosy corners feature alongside modern comforts and the latest technology. The terraces, pergolas and picturesque views are alive with greenery. Created from restored 17th- and 18th-century farmhouses, 11 luxury villas capture the changing moods of the landscape. Featuring stone, wood, antiques and bespoke furnishings, the elegant interiors are distinguished by their Sienese hues, handcrafted pieces and pleasing textures. The three- to six-bedroom villas all feature private heated pools; some offer a pool house, home theatre and/or private tennis court.
