Rosewood Castiglion Del Bosco Località Castiglion del Bosco, Siena, Tuscany Like the famous Brunello di Montalcino wine that is produced on the resort’s estate, Rosewood Castiglon del Bosco can be described as fully rounded and lingers long on the palette. Offering 42 suites and 11 private villas (converted from 17th and 18th century farmhouses each with private, heated pools) this magnificent Rosewood masterpiece in the heart of the Val D’Orcia close to Montalcino is big on delivery lying within an 800-year old estate covering 5,000 acres with two restaurants, a cooking school and The Spa. The estate also embraces a Brunello di Montalcino winery and an exclusive private members' golf club. Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel Casole D’Elsa, Province of Siena, Tuscany One of the recent additions to the worldwide portfolio of Belmond Hotels (February 2018), Castello di Casole is a 41-suite hotel built on the ruins of a tenth-century castle, with a spa, three restaurants, and an epic-size pool with one of the best views in Tuscany. Part of a 4,200-acre wine estate, the resort evokes classic Tuscan country style with panache. Guests will experience sumptuous accommodations with exposed wood beams, heavy silk curtains, velvet-upholstered furniture, and Carrera-marble bathrooms. There is also a touch of the inventive as nine of the suites, the Oliveto Suites, are strikingly contemporary, an opportunity for the Castello to flex its modern-design muscles. Suffice it to say that very few visitors will arrive with needs the Castello can’t fulfill within the estate and exploring further afield although with a pool, a spa, a diverse food and beverage programme and hosts with a talent for creating unique Belmond experiences you might find it hard to venture elsewhere! Hotel Borgo San Felice Località San Felice, Siena, Tuscany Within sight of Siena which lies 11 miles away to the horizon, Borgo San Felice is spread across a hilltop in the heart of Chianti region. Almost an entire village has been converted into the luxury hotel, the only exceptions being the residences of the farmers who tend the surrounding vineyards. One of the most innovative concepts in Tuscan country hospitality, the layout of accommodation overflow from the central palace into surrounding houses with the shape of the rooms and suites dictated by the proportions of the different buildings and deliciously decorated in that inimitable Italian mix of contemporary and classic. Superb amenities include two restaurants, a full- service spa, an outdoor heated pool, several tennis courts, and a cavernous wine cellar! country house hotels 50
