Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco

A luxury spa in the middle of a huge vineyard in Tuscany - sounds like a dream? Castiglion del Bosco is indeed like a wish come true. The 800-year-old, 5,000-hectare Italian estate, restored to 5-star standards by the Ferragamo family, weaves tradition and history with state-of-the-art comfort. The spa is a cream and honey-coloured retreat in the estate's former wine cellars. There's a sauna and steam room, as well as a lavender-scented garden where you can enjoy herbal teas and smoothies made from ingredients you pick yourself. The range of holistic La Prairie treatments is all-around pampering. There's also a fitness room with yoga and pilates classes. The personally-tailored beauty and anti-ageing journeys are based on the EviDenS de Beauté facial care line, while the massage rituals, in turn, are based on an innovative line of wine cosmetics made from grape pomace. In general, Tuscan dolce vita is lived throughout the resort - with aromatic dishes and delicate wines. The view extends over vast lavender fields to the town of Montalcino. Conclusion: dreamlike.
