A 151-room resort built around a restored hilltop village and the largest golf course in Tuscany, 27 holes, two pools, multiple restaurants, 40 minutes from Pisa airport.
"A restored medieval village, 27 holes of golf, two pools, multiple restaurants, 151 rooms. The full-service Tuscan resort for trips that want everything on-property."
Toscana Resort Castelfalfi sits on a 2,700-acre estate at Montaione, in the rolling hills west of Florence and roughly 40 minutes from Pisa airport. The estate's anchor is the restored medieval village of Castelfalfi, a fortified hilltop hamlet abandoned in the 1960s and brought back over a multi-year restoration that completed across the 2010s. The resort opened in its current configuration in 2017 and combines hotel inventory in two distinct categories: contemporary rooms in a modern building and traditional Tuscan rooms inside the converted historic tobacco warehouse adjacent to the village.
There are 151 rooms and suites in total, the largest five-star inventory in inland Tuscany. The modern building delivers polished-wood-floor rooms with reading corners and contemporary bathrooms; the tobacco warehouse delivers more traditional Tuscan-style rooms with terracotta and beamed ceilings. Suite categories include Junior Suites, Suites with terrace, and the larger Castelfalfi Suite with full village view. The estate also offers a small set of standalone villas in the village for groups and family-trip configurations.
The 27-hole Castelfalfi Golf Club is Tuscany's largest golf operation, a championship 18-hole layout (Mountain Course) plus a 9-hole course (Lake Course), designed by Rainer Preissmann and Wilfried Moroder, opened in 2011. The golf programme is the resort's distinctive draw and pulls a serious European golf clientele. Two outdoor pools handle the daytime sun. The spa runs treatment rooms, sauna, hammam, and an indoor pool. Multiple restaurants split the dining: Olivina is the property's signature restaurant in the village, La Rocca is the more casual all-day, La Via del Sale serves at the golf clubhouse, and Il Rosmarino handles light meals at the pool. Cooking classes, vineyard tours of the on-estate winery (Castelfalfi produces Chianti DOCG and IGT Toscana wines), and e-bike rentals fill the daytime activity programme.
The Montaione location places the resort about 60 minutes south-west of Florence, 75 minutes from Siena, and 40 minutes from Pisa airport, the easiest large-resort airport access in Tuscany. The 2,700-acre estate, the on-property dining and amenities, and the golf course mean most guests treat the resort as the destination rather than a base for excursions. For families, golf-focused trips, milestone anniversaries that want resort amenities, and group bookings, Castelfalfi delivers the Tuscan-resort proposition at a scale and price point the boutique competition cannot match.
The strongest large-scale family-resort proposition in Tuscany. Two pools, the kids' programme, multiple restaurants, walking trails, e-bikes, and the golf course at one estate. Junior Suites and Suites with adjoining rooms are the right configurations for parents-plus-children.
A full-amenity anniversary in the restored medieval village of Castelfalfi. Olivina handles milestone dinners; the village backdrop at sunset is the photograph; the spa and golf programme handle the days.
For couples whose honeymoon is part-resort, part-Tuscany. The 27-hole golf, the dual-pool deck, the cooking classes, and the spa give the trip texture. A day trip to Florence is 60 minutes; San Gimignano is 30 minutes. The Castelfalfi Suite is the right room for the milestone.
