Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco is located in one of the largest private estates in Tuscany, founded by Massimo and Chiara Ferragamo. Within the UNESCO Natural and Cultural Park of the Val d’Orcia, this estate is ennobled by nine centuries of history and surrounded by rolling wooded hills, extensive vineyards and farmland dotted with ancient farmhouses. The Borgo is the main hub of activities at Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco. Its historic stone buildings include the medieval church of San Michele Arcangelo, with a spectacular 1345 altar fresco by Pietro Lorenzetti. The Borgo today hosts many of the estate’s amenities, such as: 42 spacious suites; 3 of the estate’s 11 restored villas; the estate’s La Canonica Cooking School; two restaurants, the Osteria La Canonica, offering a regional menu of traditional Tuscan favorites, and the Michelin-starred Ristorante Campo del Drago, the estate’s fine dining restaurant; an organic kitchen garden; and the boutique, the estate’s gift shop offering a range of specially selected craft items; the Lobby Bar, a Brunellerie and the Pool Bar, the latter with views over the Sienese countryside; two heated infinity pools and the Spa; a state-of-the-art fitness center; 24/7 reception, concierge and room services.
In addition to the suite offering, the property’s 11 one-of-a-kind luxury villas, scattering the Tuscan landscape, offer guests an unparalleled oasis to retreat to. These lovingly restored private homes provide luxurious lodging and are crafted from 17th- and 18th-century Tuscan farmhouses. They feature fully equipped kitchens by Florence interior designer Riccardo Barthel, heated infinity pool, terraces and gardens with views of the surrounding countryside. A few Villas also boast pizza fire ovens and tennis courts.
