One of the most storied Tuscany resorts, Castello di Casole is alive with history. The site is deeply rooted in its agricultural past stretching back to the Bronze Age; artefacts from Etruscan farmers have been found across the grounds and are now on display at the hotel. The castle itself dates back to the 10th century. Throughout the years it has hosted royalty, film stars and political luminaries. Today the buildings have been lovingly restored, cherishing the storied past while offering every modern indulgence.
SUITE OLIVETO
Just a 5-minute stroll from the main castle along a charming country road, our Oliveto Suites are inspired by modern Italian design and the incredible surrounding views. Indulge in an enticing mix of rustic charm and contemporary flair in these one-bedroom apartments, which include a bedroom and living room. The spacious, open-plan interiors boast travertine flooring throughout, together with customised pieces by acclaimed Italian artists and furniture designers. The neutral palette of grey, taupe and truffle brown, accented with terracottas and blues, adorns a mixture of textures and materials such as leathers, brushed nickel and horn. A fabulous highlight is the expansive outdoor terrace, an idyllic place to relax over breakfast or aperitifs as you absorb the sun-dappled scenery. No connecting rooms.
