Castelfalfi

Tuscany in its true colours

Set across an estate of more than 2,700 hectares, Castelfalfi is bringing a medieval borgo overlooking the Tuscan hills back to life. With its winding alleys, Florentine castle, Mediterranean garden, and the charming little church of San Floriano—all testaments to an illustrious past—you are offered a genuine journey through time. The property welcomes its guests into 146 rooms and suites, spread between a sleek, contemporary building and a sensitively restored early 20th-century tobacco factory. The vast estate also offers carefully renovated private villas and a sumptuous suite designed by Stefano Ricci. Castelfalfi subtly blends the authentic charm of Tuscany with refined contemporary elegance, in a setting where every detail has been meticulously considered. Centuries-old stone, raw woods, natural linen, artisan ceramics and bespoke furniture converse harmoniously in an atmosphere that is both warm and sophisticated. Gastronomy, guided by Chef Davide De Simone, delicately enhances local flavours and seasonal treasures. Wellness finds its sanctuary at the RAKxa Wellness Spa, a holistic haven inviting you on a sensory journey blending Tuscan traditions with innovative treatments. The entire estate lives to the rhythm of nature: 25 hectares of vineyards and over 40 hectares of olive groves shape a bountiful landscape, where organic production that respects the land and the seasons thrives. Here, every experience is an invitation to explore the region in a different way, from truffle hunting and discovering buzzing beehives to wine and olive oil tastings, sun-drenched rounds of golf, and fun cultural excursions for an uncompromising immersion in the Tuscan art of living.
