Castelfalfi

A stunning retreat surrounded by the rolling hills of Italy between Florence and Pisa, Castelfalfi is a restored medieval estate in Tuscany that offers an invitation to stillness. This historic borgo, complete with stone cottages and glimpses of a 12th-century castle, is a living reminder of centuries gone by. 

The hotel offers two distinct accommodation styles: the main building, now elegantly refurbished, reflects the tones and textures of the surrounding landscape through contemporary design. Nearby, the old tobacco warehouse houses characterful rooms that speak to the estate’s rich agricultural heritage.

The RAKxa Wellness Spa, a serene haven within the estate, brings together ancient eastern healing philosophies and cutting-edge treatments. Indulge in deeply restorative massages, immersive sensory rituals and peaceful meditation spaces, all designed to rebalance the body.

Guests can choose from over 40 bespoke experiences staying at Castelfalfi. Roam sun-soaked trails through olive groves and forest paths, learn the secrets of Tuscan cooking as you stretch dough for wood-fired pizza or perhaps linger over a chef-curated picnic in a secluded spot on the estate.

For those drawn to nature’s wilder side, the Castelfalfi Adventure Park brings adrenaline and exhilaration. Suspended walkways, treetop villages, rope bridges and forest tunnels offer thrill and delight for all ages.
