The
Region
The Estate lies within the slopes of the Val d'Orcia, an undulating landscape
known for its enchanting beauty and juxtaposition of colors and textures. This land,
deep green in spring and golden in fall, is also rich with art and culture. Carefully
preserved ancient sites, dating back to the Etruscan era, blend with art from the
Medieval and Renaissance period. The area is also famous for its agriculture. The
vineyards of the Val d'Orcia, including Castiglion del Bosco's own, produce
the most coveted Italian wines, Brunello di Montalcino and its younger
sibling, Rosso di Montalcino.
In addition to a deeply rooted appreciation for history and viniculture, Tuscans
are sports enthusiasts. The opportunities for outdoor sports here are diverse:
fly fishing, hunting, horseback riding, hiking, cycling, hot-air ballooning and,
of course, witnessing il Palio, the infamous equestrian event that takes place each
summer in Siena.
Castiglion del Bosco is a wonderful base from which to enjoy all that
Tuscany has to offer; our concierge expertly prepares customized private tours
for members and guests.
