Book the Grand Fireplace Room in the Bathhouse rather than the standard Roman bath experience — it's entirely private and far more atmospheric

Why It Matters

Three MICHELIN Keys, World's 50 Best Hotels 2024, and one of the most photographed outdoor pools in Italy — an oval cut directly into the lawn outside the castle walls. The estate is run entirely on biodynamic principles: flour is ground at a nearby water mill, pasta uses eggs from the estate's own chickens, olive oil is cold-pressed from century-old groves, and the in-room bars are stocked with estate-distilled gin.

A genuine 10th-century castle on a 3,700-acre private estate straddling the Umbrian and Tuscan hills. Count Benedikt Bolza and his artist wife Donna Nencia Corsini spent over a decade restoring it before opening to guests in 2021. The result: 36 rooms and suites with no two alike, estate-grown produce in two restaurants, 40 purebred Spanish horses, a subterranean spa in the old wine cellars, and a rewilded landscape teeming with roe deer and wild boar.
