‘1000 Year-Old Tuscan Treasure'

Dating back to 998, Belmond Castello di Casole is Tuscany distilled: a 4,200-acre estate where history, landscape, and modern luxury coexist. Once a 10th-century medieval castle built on an ancient Etruscan site, and later the home of Italian film pioneer Luchino Visconti, the estate has been thoughtfully transformed into a countryside sanctuary that honours its agricultural roots, while also offering every comfort of contemporary living.

The 39 suites and villas - that have use of an exclusive pool - have been restored with an eye for detail: antique wooden beams, stone floors, and period touches sit alongside plush furnishings and modern amenities, creating spaces that feel both timeless and welcoming. Beyond the accommodations, the estate unfolds amidst rolling vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined hills. Guests can indulge in authentic Tuscan cuisine at Tosca Ristorante, unwind at the Essere Spa, or explore the surrounding countryside with truffle hunts, horseback rides, mountain biking, or wine, cooking, and ceramics classes – all curated to immerse you in the rhythms and flavours of Tuscany.
