Wine resorts in Tuscany

If there’s one experience that visitors to Tuscany simply have to include, it’s an overnight stay or two at a wine resort. Here are some of the most historic and luxurious options.

Ruffino

Poggio Casciano, Ruffino’s hospitality hub and seven-room boutique hotel stands majestically in the Chianti Classico countryside just 30 minutes from Florence. Reflecting the Tuscan identity and Renaissance charm, the country chic rooms have vineyard views, look out over the Italian gardens or the enticing infinity pool. Tasting tours are available and the on-site Le Tre Rane restaurant serves up innovative Tuscan dishes that encapsulate beauty and goodness. The generous halls and attractive outdoor areas ensure count- less options for business and incentive events, as well as celebrations.

Castello di Albola

Near Radda in Chianti, staying at Castello di Albola gives you the option of choosing between two breath- taking villas: the beautiful 18th-century Villa Le Marangole, a place of boundless charm and rural elegance that consists of 6 double bedrooms, sleeping up to 12 as a full villa rental, and the smaller 15th-century Villa Crognole with a panoramic terrace and three doubles. A tour of the verdant vineyards, historic cellars and Chianti Classico wine tasting is all part of the experience.

Il Falconiere

Further south, Relais Il Falconiere & Spa is a feast for the senses with views of Under the Tuscan Sun’s picturesque Cortona as its back- drop. There’s something ethereal about the property owned by the Baracchi family since the mid-19th century: from the glittering bottles in the riddling station to the quietude of the spa and its wine-based treatments. The overriding feeling at Il Falconiere is passion, which is embodied by Silvia Regi Baracchi’s ever-evolving Michelin-starred cuisine. The rooms are elegantly rustic with thoughtful touches, while weddings, celebrations and teambuilding events are a guaranteed success.

Castelfalfi

The five-star Toscana Resort Castelfalfi is a haven of wellbeing 90 minutes southwest of Florence. 25 hectares under vine produce Chianti and Chianti Riserva DOCG, which can be tasted at the estate’s cellar door, perhaps after a game of golf on the 27-hole course or a morning at the contemporary spa. Staying at Castelfalfi offers a variety of exquisitely appointed rooms, suites, villas and apartments, all with a focus on sustainability and slow living in a natural setting. The array of indoor and outdoor spaces makes Castelfalfi versatile for private parties and memorable weddings. Plus, there’s more in the works with major investments by the new owners in the real estate, winery and agricultural activities.

Rocca di Montemassi

Get away from it all at Rocca di Montemassi in Maremma, Tuscany’s deep south. Self-described as a wine farm, the rooms embrace a modern Tuscan vibe with natural linens and palettes. Purposely promoting integrated agriculture and the Maremma, the scenic property seamlessly arranges business meetings, teambuilding days, weddings and more in between sips of the estate’s own red,white and rosé wine and a walk around the on-site farming museum.

ColleMassari

A short distance from Monte Amiata and the stunning scenery of the Val d’Orcia, Colle Massari consists of four agriturismos: Tenuta di Montecucco full wine relais, Le Scuole bed and breakfast, Pecora Vecchia, a secluded retreat, and the exclusive luxury villa Case Nuove. The Montecucco estate is a popular destination wedding venue with its breathtaking gardens, views and church, as well as on-site restaurant and spa facilities. The estate also boasts a 300-seater auditorium equipped with top-of-the-range audio-video system for conferences and major events. That’s not all: the historic cellars and expansive vineyards provide the perfect introduction to Montecucco wines.
