Highlights
Set on a 1,100-hectare Tuscan estate with a medieval village, castle, vineyards and olive groves, between Florence and Pisa.
146 rooms and suites spread across a contemporary main hotel and historic Tabaccaia building, many with sweeping countryside views and terraces.
Many one-of-a-kind activities, tours and bespoke experiences offer unique ways to experience this haven in the heart of Tuscany.
Excellent dining from gourmet Tuscan cuisine to casual village trattorias and bars, showcasing estate-grown produce and regional wines.
In the sun-drenched hills between Florence and Pisa, Castelfalfi is a sophisticated Tuscan retreat wrapped in a 2,700-acre private estate of vineyards, olive groves and forested slopes. At its heart lies a beautifully restored medieval borgo with castle, Medicean gardens and an ancient church, creating a magical backdrop that feels more like a tiny village than a traditional resort. Guests are invited to slow down, breathe in the scent of cypress and wild herbs, and settle into an authentic rhythm of Tuscan life.
The hotel sits within walking distance of the historic village, combining a contemporary main building with a former tobacco warehouse whose interiors echo traditional Tuscan style. There are around 146 rooms and suites, alongside a collection of villas and farmhouses, offering flexibility for couples, families and larger groups. Rooms blend warm tones, natural materials and modern comforts, with options ranging from cosy doubles to generous junior suites and one-bedroom suites with separate living areas. Signature suites, including the Castelfalfi Grand Suite and a bespoke penthouse, offer elevated space and views, while multi-bedroom villas and restored farmhouses provide a private-home feel in the heart of the countryside.
Days here revolve around the landscape. Guests can wander through vineyards and olive groves, or simply linger by the pools that overlook rolling hills. A spa and wellness facilities offer a serene sanctuary after days spent exploring hilltop towns or cycling the estate’s tracks. Dining is a highlight: restaurants and bars draw heavily on local produce, from estate-pressed olive oil to Tuscan wines, with chefs reimagining classic recipes in a refined yet relaxed style.
Thoughtful service and a sense of space make Castelfalfi especially appealing for longer stays. It works equally well as a standalone countryside escape or as part of a wider journey through Florence, Siena and the Chianti wine region. For families, couples or friends seeking an immersive yet polished Tuscan hideaway, this is an estate where days unfold at an unhurried pace and every view feels quintessentially Italy.
