Arriving at Castello di Casole through a landscape of rolling Tuscan hills and cypress-lined roads sets the tone for the Italian indulgence that awaits. From the luxurious spa set in a former wine cellar, to the infinity pool with its sweeping views of Siena’s vineyards, this meticulously restored mediaeval castle and hamlet is a chic countryside escape. Whether learning to throw dough in the beautiful pizzeria, biking through the hills to explore tiny Tuscan villages, or reclining on a lounger by the pool, this property offers stylish surrounds, attentive service, excellent amenities and access to the sights of Tuscany (if you can be persuaded to leave the hotel).
The 39 rooms and suites and two villas are dotted around the castle and restored buildings and farmhouses on the estate. They honour the original fabric of the building with Italian fabrics, warming Tuscan colours and local antiques, while adding 21st century convenience with a fully-stocked in-room bar, luxurious toiletries, and HDTV with DVD player. The two restaurants continue this balance in the classic Italian dishes with a modern twist, while the bar is perfectly appointed for a sunset aperitivo.
