Castiglione del Bosco deserves its place amongst the very best properties in Europe.  From the moment we arrived, our family was treated with gracious hospitality and warmth. Small personal touches were scattered around our villa, from a little gallery wall of family snapshots to cakes and candy for our children’s birthdays, no detail was left unnoticed and no request was left unanswered.  Our lovely villa “mama”, Laura,  couldn’t stop feeding us delicious savory foods, snacks, local wine and drinks for the kids.  She picked fresh flowers from the garden for the kitchen table (always with a bountiful spread for breakfast) and bathrooms.   Without our asking, she made a roaring fire in the wood burning fireplace every evening.  An activity highlight was the astronomy lesson on our final evening which featured amazing views of Saturn, a comet, Jupiter and globular clusters of stars.  We also enjoyed an incredible hike with a convivial and enthusiastic guide, Mario, in the UNESCO protected woods surrounding the property. Our only minor frustration was the bike tour which followed ancient, narrow roads filled with rocks, potholes and not infrequent traffic including construction vehicles - not appropriate for a 10 year old  child who has never done this type of cycling or managed an electric bicycle (which has its own learning curve). Our tour guide, while pleasant, did not assist or encourage our daughter but rather stood back and watched us struggle to get her moving. Luckily, she followed her instincts and eventually made the wise decision to abandon the ride and go to the kids club instead.

Castiglione del Bosco is a delight. The term “casual elegance” is appropriate here but there’s nothing casual about the quality of the product that they deliver. We look forward to a reprise. 5 well deserved stars!

Nestled among rolling vineyards and ancient forests, the hotel exudes luxury while maintaining an authentic charm that made us feel as though we were truly experiencing the heart of Tuscany.

The attention to detail at Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco is impeccable. Our room was a perfect blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort, with breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. The décor reflected the region’s rich history, while the amenities offered every luxury we could wish for, from the spacious marble bathroom to the private terrace where we could unwind with a glass of local wine.

The staff at Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Their warm hospitality, combined with a deep knowledge of the area, made us feel like valued guests. Whether we were relaxing by the pool, exploring the beautiful grounds, or indulging in a spa treatment, every moment was filled with a sense of peace and tranquility.

Beyond the luxurious accommodations and excellent service, what truly made our stay magical was the connection to the land. Walking through the vineyards, taking in the sweeping views of the Val d’Orcia, and exploring the nearby medieval village were experiences that we will treasure forever.

One of the highlights of our stay was the culinary experience. The on-site restaurant served the most exquisite breakfasts, featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Stopped here for a night on the way from Florence to Rome.

The hotel is entirely a beautiful old Tuscan village which has been restored.

The room was phenomenal, great beddings and linens, lovely amenities and most importantly excellent water pressure!

Food was stellar, very high quality breakfast too.

But the highlight was the private wine tasting we had at the Winery. A great intro to their Brunellos.

A short and sweet stay.

Below is our detailed review of Rosewood CDB.

We visited the RCDB July 2024 and stayed for 4 days / 3 nights

Rooms: Absolutely stunning - exactly what you would expect from a Rosewood property. Clean, well appointed, welcoming and large. The amenities in the room are wonderful from the coffee machine to the Dyson hairdryer.

Room Service: The room service dining at RCDB is great - exactly what you need a want from a room service meal. Very quick, fresh, great options.

Dining: We loved all the dining options at the hotel and there was always something worth looking forward to. The wild boar ragu was especially delicious.

Pool: There are two pools on property, both exactly the same. Beautiful pools with an even better view! Can’t be missed - note that the pools are in full sun until about 5pm in the summer months. There is also full dining and drink service at the pool which is always nice.

Kids Club: The kids club is definitely smaller than what we expected from the online photos but still beautiful and plenty of activities!

Spa: I had a 9min massage / 60min facial and a manicure and pedicure at the spa. The spa is a beautiful, tranquil space and the services are fabulous. I would NOT get the facial again as it was more just a facial massage with what felt like 8 different lotion based products. No steam, machines used etc— if you are looking for a true cleansing facial, pass on the treatment, but if you are looking for just a relaxing facial massage, you will love it. The manicure and pedicure was great.

Winery Tour: this was lovely, we did the wine and cheese pairing, worth going and the guide was fabulous!

Pizza Class: we did a private pizza class in the villa on our departure day - it was wonderful! Our son (6 years old) loved it and the meal was really great - of course it was pizza and the dessert you make. Worth it, especially with children.

Golf: We played a round of golf while at the resort, beautiful course, great clubs for rent and of course golf carts permitted on course.

Star Tour: We LOVED the star / astronomy tour - the guide is amazing and so knowledgeable. This is a great activity for children and adults alike. If I can make some suggestions to the hotel: get some red light flashlights for guests (very important when you are trying to keep your eyes adjusted), figure out a safer/ easier way to get down the hill to the telescope (it is very steep, although only 25 feet or so in the pitch black it’s scary, especially without light or stairs), get some true zero gravity chairs (these can be bought off Amazon and are so convenient and comfortable when you want to truly lay back and see the stars). In all I would absolutely book this again, especially if we were vacationing during a new moon.

The Rosewood CDB a truly special place that we will be returning to. Just this year alone we have been to the Rosewood London, Baha Mar and San Miguel de Allende - all are fabulous as expected but Castiglion del Bosco is very, very special and in a league of its own.

Thank you for a wonderful stay! We will be back l!
