PARTNER CONTENT FOR CASTEL MONASTERO RESORT
Castel Monastero Resort SIENA, ITALY
One of the most beautiful stretches of countryside in Italy lies among Chianti vines, corn fields, chestnut forests and rows of cypress trees. This is the landscape surrounding Castel Monastero, a beautifully restored medieval village and monastery, around 15 miles from Siena. Castel Monastero is a true Tuscan retreat,
exuding a feeling of simple refinement and pure elegance. There are 74 guest rooms and one villa, all designed in a contemporary, rustic-chic style, and two restaurants. Contrada offers guests a sophisticated gastronomic experience with a menu of first-class Tuscan cuisine created by executive chef Enrico Marmo. La Cantina, meanwhile, which is housed in the resort’s 13th-century cellar, is the place to go for local specialities coupled with the finest Tuscan and Chianti wines. The glory of the past and the exclusivity of
refined and versatile surroundings — these are the features that make Castel Monastero the ideal place for conventions and seminars. A meeting room, able to hold 150 guests, is available in the medieval village.
Today, this sophisticated resort is a member
of the Leading Hotels of the World. As befits its noble origins, it offers true Italian hospitality, extending a warm and traditional welcome, with excellent food and local DOC wines. The excitement of the nearby Palio di Siena
horse race; the mastery of 15th-century painter Piero della Francesca; the fervour of the Etruscan civilisation — this heady mix of vibrant Tuscan culture seems to come straight out of another era. Among the rolling hills, life here has its own pace. Even time follows a gentler rhythm, as the sunlight floods the palace, the piazza, the church (tying the knot at Castel Monastero has a real royal charm) and the two country houses crowned by the Chigi Saracini family’s emblematic star and coat of arms. The Aquae Monasterii Spa is a place of
supreme relaxation. It has eight treatment rooms, a water wellness zone and three outdoor pools cascading gently into one another, forming the perfect soundtrack to day after day of pure pampering.
Don’t miss Walks in the tranquil Tuscan countryside and a series of yoga sessions, ideal for restoring mental and physical equilibrium
