THE ESTATE
Castiglion del Bosco is one of the largest private estates in
Tuscany, and one of the founding members of the prestigious Brunello
di Montalcino wine producers’ consortium. Situated within the Park
of the Val d’Orcia, an area recognised internationally for its natural,
artistic and cultural significance, this magnificent estate is ennobled
by eight centuries of history. Surrounded by rolling wooded hills,
extensive vineyards and farmland dotted with ancient farmhouses,
Castiglion del Bosco offers its guests and members the chance to
immerse themselves in the beauty of this authentic corner of Tuscany,
in a setting of unparalleled elegance and refinement.
With breathtaking views across to the historic hilltown of
Montalcino and a great swathe of southern Tuscany, Castiglion del
Bosco is today centred on the restored Borgo, or estate village, at
its heart. The estate buildings and outlying farmhouses have been
restored by local craftsmen to create sumptuous living environments,
unified by a décor which channels the heritage and the rich colors of
the surrounding Sienese landscape.

THE SPA
In the heart of the Borgo is the Care Suite Spa by Daniela
Steiner, a haven of serenity encompassing our need to be pampered in
all senses of the word, where expert hands will indulge each guest in a
unique experience for body, mind and soul.
Exuding comfort, luxury and timeless elegance, the spa takes
a completely natural approach to well-being – one where vitality,
purity, care and relaxation are the essential components of a sublime
experience.
The treatment rooms of the Care Suite Spa are relaxing
cocoons whose earthy hues reflect the values of the harmonious
natural landscape around Castiglion del Bosco, and whose comforting
ambience, in the words of Daniela Steiner, “create a refined,
understated feeling of being in one’s own living room”. Guests can
make use of the chill-out areas either indoors or out in the garden, and
enjoy the comfort of a private suite, sauna or Turkish bath. A range of
personalized beauty and wellness treatments is available, some with a
Tuscan theme, carried out by highly trained professional staff.

GOLF CLUB
Tuscany’s first world-class golf club has recently opened on the
4,500-acre Castiglion del Bosco estate. Laid out by world-renowned
British Open champion, Tom Weiskopf, Castiglion del Bosco Golf Club
is an exciting course that moulds itself to the painterly contours of the
Val d’Orcia’s iconic landscape. It is designed to challenge the best of
golfers and to thrill those new to the game.
Never before in Italy has a golf course been constructed with
such attention to minute details. Features include full practice
facilities, European-tour-approved bunker sand specially imported
from Germany, and the longest hole in Europe – the 685-yard number
13. The clubhouse is an ancient estate farmhouse that has been
refurbished with a sapient mix of rural Tuscan and contemporary
design features.
Castiglion del Bosco Golf Club is the ultimate expression of
Tuscany’s appetite for the athletic good life. And the Club’s exclusive
policy means that this handsome new course is never crowded.

THE TUSCAN
EXPERIENCE
To ensure a memorable stay, Castiglion del Bosco offers a
variety of activities and excursions highlighting different aspects of the
region’s history, land and culture.
For lovers of fine food, our La Canonica Cooking School
explores the flavors and fragrances of Tuscan cooking. Expert Chefs
introduce guests to the secrets of local cuisine, guiding them in the
gathering of fresh seasonal herbs and vegetables from the garden of
the estate.
Castiglion del Bosco is one of the largest producers of Brunello
di Montalcino. The entire wine production can be tasted at the Osteria
La Canonica or in the estate’s private winery, which also houses the
barricaia, an enological sanctuary where top quality wines age in
French oak barriques.
Other activities that help guests enter into the heart and
soul of Tuscany include landscape painting classes, truffle-hunting
expeditions, gelato-making classes in Florence and visits to local
events such as Siena’s world-famous Palio horse race or the Sagra
del Tordo Medieval pageant in Montalcino.
The estate also offers a wide range of other sporting facilities,
including a state-of-the-art fitness center, a soccer field, tennis and
bocce courts and miles of hiking, running and mountain bike trails.

FLAVORS
The two restaurants and the cozy bar of the Borgo offer seasonal
menus using the finest local ingredients complemented by an extensive
list of Castiglion del Bosco and regional wines, together with celebrated
international labels.
Named after Castiglion del Bosco’s top-of-the range Brunello di
Montalcino cru, but also conjuring up Tuscan fields (‘i campi’) and
Siena’s celebrated Piazza del Campo where the town’s annual Palio
horse race is run, the evening-only Ristorante Campo del Drago offers
a deliciously creative take on traditional Tuscan dishes, based on fresh
seasonal ingredients, in a setting of rare beauty that combines warmth
and elegance with a touch of personality of our Chef. An outside
terrace with stunning views across densely wooded hills and valleys
towards Montalcino, makes it one of Tuscany’s most romantic settings
for an al fresco dinner.
Next door to the Ristorante, Osteria La Canonica offers an all-
day dining space with a familiar but yet sophisticated atmosphere, a
sort of traditional food laboratory, where Castiglion del Bosco’s guests
and visitors can explore a full range of Italian and some international
gastronomic experiences, including home made pizza and fresh
vegetables from our Orto.
Designed by the landscapers of the Vatican Gardens, the
magnificent Orto organic garden is home to over 180 varieties of
vegetables and aromatic herbs which are used in the kitchens of our
restaurants.
