Check availability Official websiteCastiglion del Bosco is a 5,000-acre private estate in Montalcino, Tuscany, founded in the 1100s (12th century) and framed by the Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the estate's heart lies a 900-year-old medieval borgo—a village where heritage breathes through stone, light, and landscape. The 12th-century castle still crowns the estate, while a chapel guards a 14th-century fresco by Pietro Lorenzetti, a work of Sienese art.
The estate was restored by the Ferragamo family with deep respect for its history, sourcing antiques across Italy and collaborating with master artisans. This restoration philosophy extends throughout the property, preserving authenticity while integrating contemporary comfort.
Castiglion del Bosco produces Brunello di Montalcino, one of Tuscany's most prestigious wines, since the early 1900s. The estate is one of 25 founding members of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello, a legacy rooted in soil, time, and craftsmanship that reflects centuries of winemaking tradition.
The estate's organic kitchen garden supplies fresh vegetables and herbs to its restaurants, while olive groves produce pressed oil. This farm-to-table approach embodies the land's rhythm: olives pressed to oil, grapes to wine, vegetables gathered fresh from soil to table.
The Club at Castiglion del Bosco is Italy's only private golf course, designed by legend Tom Weiskopf. The course gently follows the curves of the Tuscan landscape, reserved exclusively for members and hotel guests, offering pure expression of the game in harmony with nature.
La Canonica, a restaurant and cooking school, is housed in the restored home of the village priest, embodying the estate's philosophy of honoring history. The Via Francigena, a medieval pilgrimage path crossing continents, runs through the estate, connecting guests to centuries of pilgrimage tradition.
The Val d'Orcia region features Montalcino, where Brunello di Montalcino is produced; Pienza and San Quirico d'Orcia, featured in the Val d'Orcia Movie Tour that visits famous film locations; and Siena, accessible for day visits. Hidden Siena Tours reveal artisan workshops and centuries-old craftsmanship throughout Siena.
