Quiet luxury has arrived in travel. The most desirable hotels are no longer the flashiest, but those which feel timeless and deeply rooted in their surroundings. Castiglion del Bosco, a Rosewood gem in Tuscany, is exactly that: a luxury hotel which lives in harmony with the land and reflects the history and culture of the region.
In the hills of Val d’Orcia, the hotel is made up of dozens of converted farmhouses and stables which originally formed a mediaeval hamlet, or a borgo, that was home to Tuscan nobility. When the youngest son of the designer Salvatore Ferragamo bought the 5,000 acre estate in 2003, it had been abandoned for decades. Massimo Ferragamo and his wife Chiara went about a dedicated renovation project, turning the borgo into an Elysian retreat for friends and family.
