A Storied Country Sanctuary

Centuries of Noble Heritage in the Tuscan Heartland

Enfolded within 4,200 acres of undulating hills, tranquil oak forests, and sun-drenched vineyards between Siena, Florence, and San Gimignano, Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel, Tuscany is one of Italy’s most expansive and enchanting castle sanctuaries. With roots reaching back to the 10th century, this historic fortified hamlet was famously acquired in the 1960s by Earl Edoardo Visconti, brother of legendary filmmaker Luchino Visconti, serving as a glamorous salon for European aristocracy and golden-age cinema luminaries.

Today, Belmond has breathed new life into every stone arch and terracotta tile. Across 39 suites and secluded restored country farm villas, authentic artisanal craftsmanship blends with contemporary Italian elegance. Guests can unwind by the heated panoramic infinity pool floating weightlessly over the valley, retreat to the vaulted Essere Spa in the former wine cellar, and savor unforgettable culinary creations crafted from the estate’s own organic gardens, vineyards, and olive groves.
