Surrounded by thick olive groves, vineyard-cloaked valleys and lush hills, the stunning Toscana Resort Castelfalfi is the perfect base to fall in love with all provincial Italy has to offer.
A one-of-a-kind showcase of the Italian lifestyle, the sprawling resort is complete with a long list of five-star facilities. Wine and dine on authentic cuisine across six gourmet restaurants and bars, tee-off on the 27-hole golf course, take a dip in the heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools and unwind at a blissful spa self-proclaimed to be ‘Tuscany’s best spa’ with a Finnish sauna, Turkish bath and sensory showers. Plus, this retreat is home to its very own olive oil and wine estate and boasts numerous activities to help you embrace the Italian culture, including cooking classes and truffle hunting (charges apply). When the time comes to leave your luxe hideaway, you could visit the beautiful cities of Pisa, the ‘cradle of the Renaissance’ Florence, San Gimignano and Volterra.
