Thousands of years of secrets, history and architecture take the form of the ultimate wellness, indulgence and peace at the mesmerizing Castel Monastero. This standout destination in Tuscany is actually a restored monastery, although few people imagine monks set on healthy living, cooking, not to mention distilling wine.
Obviously, the monks are long gone, but famous people, including Gordon Ramsay and Dr. Mosarif Ali, keep on coming to this magical place. Here, guests may enjoy one of the 75 gorgeous rooms and suites on offer, plus a stunning villa that’s available on site – the highest expectations will be met, no matter what your choice is.
Castel Monastero’s charming rustic vibe is complemented by the lovely arched stone doorways and the beautiful Tuscan surroundings, while WiFi and flat screen TVs remind you this is still the 21st century we’re living in.
Speaking of Gordon Ramsay, the renowned chef leads the resort’s Contrada Restaurant, which invites guests from all over the world with some teasing aromas of local, simple and fresh dishes. Meanwhile, La Cantina offers authentic regional cuisine anchored by gorgeous wines, oils, and cheeses.
If you feel tired in any way, feel free to relax in the pool, or get active with tennis, local tours, or even mushroom foraging. Even better, the healing spa at Castel Monastero will surely get you back in the best of moods and remind you why life is worth living.
