"The real-life version of a romantic Tuscan daydream, Castel Monastero is set within a converted 11th-century monastery and embodies an Old World vibe in its gorgeous guestrooms and delightful restaurants."

The romantic dream of Tuscany is that of beautiful hilltop villages crowned with an elegant medieval church where you can enjoy delicious food and wine as you wistfully gaze over vineyards and captivating scenery. No need to pinch yourself, Castel Monastero is that dream made manifest.

Set in the heart of Chianti within a converted 11th-century monastery and its surrounding hamlet, this is as classically Tuscan as you can get. Within its walls, the monastery's chapel remains consecrated to this day, and Sunday mass is held every week. Even the addition of three pools, a fully equipped gym and a spa do little to dispel the magic of this resort.

The spell is maintained throughout. Each room and suite (there are 74) is furnished with all the traditional Tuscan trappings: terracotta floors, exposed wooden beams and delightfully distressed furniture. For those who truly want to get away from it all, the exclusive Villa Lavanda with its own private garden and authentically restored...   Show more

For those who truly want to get away from it all, the exclusive Villa Lavanda with its own private garden and authentically restored architecture is the ideal spot for those looking to live out their fantasy of being a Tuscan noble.

Castel Monastero's two restaurants, Contrada and La Cantina, are both very special indeed. They serve classic Tuscan cuisine with modern twists, each maintaining its own character. Contrada sits on the piazza, perfect for sunny lunches or casual evening meals, and La Cantina is where you go for a gourmet experience, housed romantically in the cavernous wine cellars beneath the monastery. Both restaurants use exclusively local, seasonal ingredients, and with menus being continuously refined, there's always a new gourmet delight to discover.

While this might sound like the ultimate romantic retreat, the hotel caters well for families with babysitting services, family cooking classes, a kids’ club and a pool devoted entirely to children. The whole family can enjoy a dip in the black basalt pool or a match on the tennis courts, while the spa offers options including a hydrotherapy circuit and acupuncture sessions for adults.

Should you somehow tire of gazing sedately over the gorgeous vista with a glass of Chianti in hand, there's plenty to explore in the surrounding countryside: by bicycle, Vespa or on a hot air balloon. You could, however, really up the ante and go with a classic Ferrari.
