The Restoration

Castillo di Casole and its surrounding villas were restored using traditional methods and reclaimed materials found throughout the estate, preserving its rich history.

Maintaining the Land

In the 1800’s the estate played host to over 30 farms rich in wheat, olives, grapes and livestock. Now, you can vacation among 100 acres of organic vineyards and olive groves.

Serenity Now

Rejuvenate after a day in the saddle at the Essere Spa. This space was formerly the estate’s wine cellar, and its barrel-vaulted ceilings and expansive views of the valley are a sight to behold. Choose from a full treatment menu inspired by local ingredients and featuring a collection of Etruscan, traditional and modern therapies. Or unwind at your own pace in one of the many pools or steam rooms.

A Culinary Oasis

Whether you dine at the cozy Pazzia, the ever inviting Bar Visconti or the unforgettable Tosca, you can expect rustic dishes in the Italian tradition infused with a bit of the unexpected. Handmade pasta, fresh organic vegetables and local fish and game are paired with wines from the best wineries in Italy to bring to life recipes that will “stir the soul”.
