Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco: 5,000-acre 800-year-old historic estate in Montalcino with One-Michelin-Star Campo del Drago, Brunello winery, and private golf

Set across 5,000 private acres of rolling oak woodlands, historic vineyards, and cypress ridges in the UNESCO World Heritage Val d’Orcia near Montalcino in Tuscany, Italy, Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco opened within a magnificent 800-year-old estate founded by Massimo Ferragamo. Holding Three Michelin Keys and One Michelin Star at Campo del Drago, the 42-suite and 11-villa sanctuary is an Italian aristocratic wonderland. A private historic Brunello di Montalcino winery producing world-class Grand Crus, Italy’s only private 18-hole golf club designed by Tom Weiskopf, restored medieval castle ruins, and the holistic Spa at Rosewood establish Castiglion del Bosco as the crown jewel of Tuscany.

Arrival introduces travelers to aristocratic 800-year-old Tuscan grandeur: personal estate hosts greet guests in the medieval borgo with chilled glasses of estate Castiglion del Bosco Brunello di Montalcino and sweeping views across the Val d’Orcia valley. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Tuscan wine, golf, and culinary pursuits: taking private cellar tours and tastings of single-cru Brunello di Montalcino wines, playing 18 holes at the ultra-exclusive private Club at Castiglion del Bosco golf course (designed by Tom Weiskopf), hunting for wild truffles in the 5,000-acre private oak woodlands with master truffle dogs, taking hands-on pasta and pizza classes in the La Canonica Cooking School, relaxing by the heated infinity pool, and reserving dinner at the Michelin-starred Campo del Drago.

Estate living balances countryside sports with restorative wellness: the Spa at Rosewood features private treatment suites in the historic wine cellar, sauna, steam room, and therapies utilizing local Sangiovese grape extracts and estate olive oil. Dining is exceptional: Campo del Drago (holding One Michelin Star under Executive Chef Matteo Temperini), rustic Tuscan dining in the village square at Osteria La Canonica, and private villa dining with dedicated chefs.

Accommodations comprise 42 borgo suites and 11 private restored 17th- and 18th-century stone farmhouses ranging from 55 to 600 square metres. Each villa features a private heated swimming pool, private tennis court, full kitchen, antique fireplaces, king beds, and travertine marble bathrooms.

Wine purists, golfers, and luxury connoisseurs seeking Three Michelin Keys, 5,000 private acres of Tuscan estate seclusion, and Tom Weiskopf private golf in Italy should book Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco without hesitation.
