f there is a single word more alluring than Italy,
then it must be its own heart and soul… Tuscany.
Always so much more than a place, Tuscany is first
a way of life, each present moment infused with
centuries of the world’s favourite art, culture, food and
wine. In the rolling hills not far from the timeless cities
of Florence, Siena and San Gimignano is one of the
largest private estates in all of Italy.
Once home to Italian royalty (and laterly the great film
director, LucchinoVisconti), a recently renovated 10th-
century castle is situated at the heart of a 4,200-acre
private estate. Hotel Castello di Casole will offer rustic
elegance amid stunning panoramic views of its
surrounding vineyards and olive groves. The property
features five unique styles for a total of 41 suites,
blending grand Italian design with custom Tuscan
furnishings, reflecting the region’s landscape and rich
history. Other compelling features and amenities of
the property include a 5,400-square-foot Essere Spa
with a fitness centre and outdoor spa garden; a
restored 18th-century chapel, ideal for weddings and
private dinners; Ristorante Tosca, for fine-dining;
Pazzia gourmet pizzeria; as well as Bar Visconti, with
its unparalleled wine and cocktail menu.
In addition to the beautiful suites, Castello di Casole
offers guests the opportunity to rent one of six
remarkable countryside Farmhouses and live among
the vineyards and sweeping hills of the historic estate.
The secluded Farmhouses are peaceful, private homes
surrounded by acres of open space. Available for
weekly rentals, the Farmhouses accommodate
between eight to twelve persons.
For smaller groups seeking the Farmhouse experience,
guests also have an enticing option with the Hotel
Villas at Castello di Casole. These authentic homes
feature conveniences such as spacious kitchens,
sumptuous baths and outdoor dining areas. Hotel
Villas are available for nightly or weekly rentals and
can accommodate four to six guests.
