What it is

A hilltop medieval village reborn as an ultra luxe retreat with a spa, agricultural estate, treetop adventure park, and five exquisite restaurants and bars.

What it isn't

Garish. Castelfalfi is a paean to quiet luxury; every pocket of the place is serene and stylish, yet earthy and refined.

What we think

Every fantasy you’ve ever had about a Tuscan getaway is very, very real at Castelfalfi, whether you want to hunt for truffles or taste olive oil with a vintner. And the grounds that extend for 2,700 acres, including a lake, vineyards and olives, are just the beginning. Guest rooms are eye-popping, too: combining muted color palettes and Deco-era inspired custom furnishings with French doors that fling open to patios and terraces that overlook the iconic countryside. Our favorite room? The Castelfalfi Grand Suite, which has an indoor/outdoor living space and bar you’ll never want to leave.

You're here because

Akin to a sprawling mega-resort, everything’s in one place—including five restaurants, three pools, and a spa. Translation: you can fully relax and enjoy your stay, without schlepping.

The Moment

You thought pizza was pizza. Always good, or at least good enough. And then you had a wood fired pizza at Il Rosmarino, where they drizzled your pie with olive oil they produced right here on the estate’s grounds. How do you say “heavenly” in Italian?

Restaurants & Bars

Olivina - A theater for all the senses, a contemporary expression of Italian cuisine.

Il Rosmarino - A typical Tuscan trattoria with traditional dishes and delicious pizza

Ecrù Bar & Lounge - A panoramic terrace holds a splendid view over the estate’s valley, for unforgettable aperitifs on the sweet notes of live music.

Giglio Blu - The ideal place to enjoy a refreshing drink next to the swimming pools.

La Rocca - A fine-dining culinary experience like no other, a journey that begins in the Mediterranean and arrives in the heart of Tuscany.
