Our Inspector's Highlights

Set on a sprawling 2,700-acre working estate, Castelfalfi is exactly what comes to mind when envisioning a trip to Tuscany. The scenic area feels like a painting come to life, from the towering cypress trees to the rolling hills, dotted with terracotta-tiled roofs, vineyards and olive groves.
Golf lovers can tee off on Tuscany’s largest golf course, featuring 27 holes of championship-caliber greens set against the postcard-worthy landscape.
The sprawling luxury resort offers more than 40 activities, including outdoorsy pursuits like lakeside fishing and archery, right alongside extra virgin olive oil tastings and vineyard tours. You can even explore the countryside in high Italian style — by Ferrari or Vespa, of course.
Spacious accommodations range from contemporary retreats in the hotel’s main building to more traditional villas peppered across the historic borgo and surrounding countryside. The rooms come furnished with thoughtfully curated details, like wallpaper depicting idyllic Tuscan scenes or ethereal shots of Castelfalfi by Italian photographer Georg Tappeiner.
As the first European outpost of the Thai-based integrative wellness brand, RAKxa Wellness Spa at Castelfalfi is a haven of relaxation promising an extensive hydrotherapy circuit, ancient Asian principles and cutting-edge technology. For a truly indulgent experience, enjoy an alfresco massage in a breezy gazebo overlooking the rolling hills.

The Restaurants

With its exposed white brick and light-filled dining room, Il Rosmarino is a charming spot to savor homey regional dishes made with local ingredients. The highlight? Expertly crafted pizzas, crisped to perfection in a wood-fired oven.
For romance, few places compare to La Rocca. Located within the estate’s medieval castle, this polished fine-dining restaurant pairs gorgeous views with executive chef Davide De Simone’s exquisite Italian tasting menus.
Tuscan ingredients and Mediterranean flavors steal the show at Olivina. Settle into a plush olive-green banquette to sample the contemporary creations, like Mediterranean seafood risotto drizzled with local olive oil.
Enjoy lunch on the links at Country Clubhouse, where fresh Italian dishes like panzanella salad or pasta are served alongside unfurling views of the golf course.
For a taste of la dolce vita, sip handcrafted cocktails at the Tuscany hotel's sleek Bar Ecrù & Lounge or take in the scenery with a drink and light lunch by the pool at Giglio Blu.
