Castiglion del Bosco is one of the largest private estates in

Tuscany, and one of the founding members of the prestigious Brunello

di Montalcino wine producers’ consortium. Situated within the Park

of the Val d’Orcia, an area recognised internationally for its natural,

artistic and cultural significance, this magnificent estate is ennobled

by eight centuries of history. Surrounded by rolling wooded hills,

extensive vineyards and farmland dotted with ancient farmhouses,

Castiglion del Bosco offers its guests and members the chance to

immerse themselves in the beauty of this authentic corner of Tuscany,

in a setting of unparalleled elegance and refinement.

With breathtaking views across to the historic hilltown of

Montalcino and a great swathe of southern Tuscany, Castiglion del

Bosco is today centred on the restored Borgo, or estate village, at

its heart. The estate buildings and outlying farmhouses have been

restored by local craftsmen to create sumptuous living environments,

unified by a décor which channels the heritage and the rich colors of

the surrounding Sienese landscape.

In the heart of the Borgo is the Care Suite Spa by Daniela

Steiner, a haven of serenity encompassing our need to be pampered in

all senses of the word, where expert hands will indulge each guest in a

unique experience for body, mind and soul.

Exuding comfort, luxury and timeless elegance, the spa takes

a completely natural approach to well-being – one where vitality,

purity, care and relaxation are the essential components of a sublime

experience.

The treatment rooms of the Care Suite Spa are relaxing

cocoons whose earthy hues reflect the values of the harmonious

natural landscape around Castiglion del Bosco, and whose comforting

ambience, in the words of Daniela Steiner, “create a refined,

understated feeling of being in one’s own living room”. Guests can

make use of the chill-out areas either indoors or out in the garden, and

enjoy the comfort of a private suite, sauna or Turkish bath. A range of

personalized beauty and wellness treatments is available, some with a

Tuscan theme, carried out by highly trained professional staff.

Tuscany’s first world-class golf club has recently opened on the

4,500-acre Castiglion del Bosco estate. Laid out by world-renowned

British Open champion, Tom Weiskopf, Castiglion del Bosco Golf Club

is an exciting course that moulds itself to the painterly contours of the

Val d’Orcia’s iconic landscape. It is designed to challenge the best of

golfers and to thrill those new to the game.

Never before in Italy has a golf course been constructed with

such attention to minute details. Features include full practice

facilities, European-tour-approved bunker sand specially imported

from Germany, and the longest hole in Europe – the 685-yard number

13. The clubhouse is an ancient estate farmhouse that has been

refurbished with a sapient mix of rural Tuscan and contemporary

design features.

Castiglion del Bosco Golf Club is the ultimate expression of

Tuscany’s appetite for the athletic good life. And the Club’s exclusive

policy means that this handsome new course is never crowded.

To ensure a memorable stay, Castiglion del Bosco offers a

variety of activities and excursions highlighting different aspects of the

region’s history, land and culture.

For lovers of fine food, our La Canonica Cooking School

explores the flavors and fragrances of Tuscan cooking. Expert Chefs

introduce guests to the secrets of local cuisine, guiding them in the

gathering of fresh seasonal herbs and vegetables from the garden of

the estate.

Castiglion del Bosco is one of the largest producers of Brunello

di Montalcino. The entire wine production can be tasted at the Osteria

La Canonica or in the estate’s private winery, which also houses the

barricaia, an enological sanctuary where top quality wines age in

French oak barriques.

Other activities that help guests enter into the heart and

soul of Tuscany include landscape painting classes, truffle-hunting

expeditions, gelato-making classes in Florence and visits to local

events such as Siena’s world-famous Palio horse race or the Sagra

del Tordo Medieval pageant in Montalcino.

The estate also offers a wide range of other sporting facilities,

including a state-of-the-art fitness center, a soccer field, tennis and

bocce courts and miles of hiking, running and mountain bike trails.

The two restaurants and the cozy bar of the Borgo offer seasonal

menus using the finest local ingredients complemented by an extensive

list of Castiglion del Bosco and regional wines, together with celebrated

international labels.

Named after Castiglion del Bosco’s top-of-the range Brunello di

Montalcino cru, but also conjuring up Tuscan fields (‘i campi’) and

Siena’s celebrated Piazza del Campo where the town’s annual Palio

horse race is run, the evening-only Ristorante Campo del Drago offers

a deliciously creative take on traditional Tuscan dishes, based on fresh

seasonal ingredients, in a setting of rare beauty that combines warmth

and elegance with a touch of personality of our Chef. An outside

terrace with stunning views across densely wooded hills and valleys

towards Montalcino, makes it one of Tuscany’s most romantic settings

for an al fresco dinner.

Next door to the Ristorante, Osteria La Canonica offers an all-

day dining space with a familiar but yet sophisticated atmosphere, a

sort of traditional food laboratory, where Castiglion del Bosco’s guests

and visitors can explore a full range of Italian and some international

gastronomic experiences, including home made pizza and fresh

vegetables from our Orto.

Designed by the landscapers of the Vatican Gardens, the

magnificent Orto organic garden is home to over 180 varieties of

vegetables and aromatic herbs which are used in the kitchens of our

restaurants.
