The Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco in Tuscany has reopened, unveiling a comprehensive renovation of nine of its eleven private villas.
Nestled in the heart of the Val D'Orcia park, a UNESCO-protected site, the estate spans over 2,000 hectares with roots tracing back approximately 900 years. Featuring historical landmarks like the ruins of a 12th-century castle, a 14th-century medieval church, the Borgo historic village now serves as the resort's focal point. Managed by Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, the property has 42 suites, with the 11 villas positioned at its centre.
Each villa has a Land Rover Defender or a 4x4 off-road vehicle
These villas are distinctive private residences, and each one exudes a unique identity. With heated infinity pools, kitchens designed by Florentine artisan Riccardo Barthel, and terraces and gardens overlooking the picturesque landscape, they offer a bespoke experience. A novel addition for the 2024 season is the inclusion of a seven-seater Land Rover Defender or a 4x4 off-road vehicle with each villa, allowing guests to explore the region and the estate at their leisure.

Initially conceived as a haven for wine and gastronomy enthusiasts, the property has two restaurants: Osteria la Canonica and the Campo del Drago, a Michelin-starred eatery helmed by chef Matteo Temperini. Complementing these culinary delights is a spa in earth tones and natural hues, along with an 18-hole golf course designed by Tom Weiskopf. As the only private golf club in Italy, it provides exclusive access for Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco guests. The estate also has the historic cellar where the famous Brunello di Montalcino red wine is crafted. The resort's operational period will extend until 7 January 2025, and it has an exciting holiday programme brimming with engaging initiatives.
