This hotel is a great place to come to relax. There is plenty to do, but the best thing is spacing this out by large periods doing relatively little surrounded by the beautiful views. We stayed in a villa, which was generally excellent (though you are definitely paying for it). If you're planning to cook yourself and go shopping in... More

A place where you might run out of superlatives! The whole experience is just wonderful and this is one of those rare examples where you get what you pay for - and you do pay a lot, for almost everything. All suites, with superb amenities and free mini bar (nice touch) and wonderful views over the beautiful Val d'Orcia. Great... More

Beautiful property. After a week of hectic sightseeing in Florence and Venice, my husband and I spent four luxurious nights at CdB. We were pampered from the moment we were met at the train station until we were delivered back to the station four days later. The views are spectacular and the suites were gorgeous. We had them arrange for... More

Coming from Montalcino by car we took the road to Castiglione del Bosco and after a few kms we were on a 'strada bianchi' , a white off road. It took us 11km in total. In the middle somewhere we thought we were lost, however some signs showed up again to the place. After a ride of 20 minutes off... More

I've always been very cautious with my ratings, giving 4's when everything was very good and an occasional 5 when it was really extraordinary. Now a 6 wouldn't suffice to express the exceptional experience I had in this wonderful resort. No dissonant. OK, this is Tuscany so the views are always at the appointment. But all the rest matches these... More

I stayed here last summer with my sister and we got quite an education about Brunello wines. We joke that we went on our honeymoon because the hotel was so romantic and gorgeous. The pools are great and we spent a lot of time hamming for the cameras like the vain girls we are ... I love that it feels... More

"Such a special place, truly one of the most beautiful country hotels I’ve stayed/seen. Unbeatable views. The estate has 23 suites and 9 villas, all exquisitely decorated, blending fine antiques with modern facilities. It is clear that no expense was spared during restoration. A quick tip: request a room with a terrace – just lovely for enjoying a glass of... More

We went to Castiglion Del Bosco for a cooking class and it was a lot of fun. The day started with a tour of the garden where all of the vegetables are grown on premise and a glass of wine .We learned how to make a variety of fresh pasta's, tomatoe salad, fresh pomodoro sauce and Zabalione. The class ended... More

This place is really special. It's way off the beaten path, with commanding views and an ultra luxurious footprint. Very few places around the world can compare. Everything is perfect. almost too perfect but not obnoxious! The food is excellent, especially in the casual osteria. We enjoyed the outdoor seating. The small spa is fitting and the services and facilities... More
