For those intrigued with sampling the sublime flavors of Tuscany, nothing but the genuine article will suffice. And what could be more authentic than an honest-to-goodness Medieval Tuscan village? That's the setting Massimo Ferragamo, of the legendary Ferragamo fashion family, has transformed into his world-class resort, Castiglion del Bosco, a Rosewood Resort. This quaint and charming borgo, little changed over eight centuries, sprawls across some 5,000 stunning acres, serving up majestic perspectives on the Tuscan countryside and affording spectacular views of unforgettable sunsets. It is dotted with vineyards, olive groves, 17th and 18th Century farmhouses, and the ruins of a fairy-tale-like, centuries-old castle. Hiking and running paths ribbon for miles through densely wooded forests of the Val d'Orcia. Little wonder this is the only property in all of Italy to earn the coveted Rosewood imprimatur.

As guests luxuriate in villas and suites unique in all the world, visitors to Castiglion del Bosco immediately comprehend why this luxury resort is simply incomparable. Some villas are nestled in forests; others are perched above vineyards, and still, others overlook the castle ruins. Each boasts a heated, natural stone pool, a fully-outfitted kitchen, pergola-sheltered barbecue terrace, and meticulously manicured lawns and gardens. Though the villas are all uniquely different from one another, they share a consistently inviting ambiance honed from the exquisite textures and colors of the region. Rich palettes reflect the vibrant, resonant hues of the surrounding Sienese countryside. Antiques, natural fabrics, and the hand-wrought furniture fashioned by local artisans convey the legacy of care and craftsmanship synonymous with this age-old land. The result is a sumptuous setting as warmly welcoming and agreeable as it is difficult to imagine leaving behind.
