Overview

Belmond Castello di Casole makes its guests feel at home through several services and facilities. One can enjoy the green Tuscan countryside, dine in elegant restaurants, and relax at Essere Spa, converted from a wine cellar.

Location

Set on one of the most extensive landholdings - a 4200-acre estate - in the picturesque town of Casole d´Elsa, Belmond Castello di Casole is surrounded by the rolling hills of Tuscany. It is a patchwork of vineyards and lemon and olive trees. One can catch the first glimpse of the castle through tall cypress trees and leafy banks by traveling into hills around the Casole. The Belmond Hotel seems as natural in the Tuscan sky as the cypress trees and vineyards. Moreover, the sun-starched stonework and rusty tones blend seamlessly with the Tuscan's enchanting rural surroundings.

One can reach Florence Airport within an hour, which is just 50 km away from the castle. Likewise, Siena Volterra and San Gimignano are just a 40-minute drive from the property. But the breathtaking views and numerous adventurous activities compel guests to enjoy the beautiful Tuscan countryside rather than visiting other big cities.

Rooms and Suites

There are 39 rooms and suites inside the castle and adjacent buildings. Besides, there are also farmhouses in the surrounding countryside. People can rent these farmhouses as private villas with hotel services. The Belmond luxury hotel group bought this property under their control due to its enhanced sophistication.

The rooms have natural earth tones in a warm country-house style. Once a part of a Tuscan village, the farmhouse of Castello di Casole has now been transformed into luxury suites. However, the original features like stonework, travertine flooring, and customized antiques remain.
