Castel Monastero 

A Tuscan treat

A rustic hideaway, overlooking vineyards and offering some true R&R.

Surrounded by glorious vineyards with spectacular views of Chianti’s rolling hills, this 11th-century former monastery has been beautifully restored into a luxury hotel where the gardens are adorned with vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees. There’s a choice of three swimming pools to cool off in, and although it’s tempting to spend all day relaxing, you can leave the hotel by bicycle and explore the beautiful surrounding area.

Dining at the Castel Monastero is a unique experience. The elegant Contrada overlooks the piazza and serves gourmet Italian cuisine. For a more authentic Tuscan experience, book a table at La Cantina which is set in the monastery’s medieval wine cellars, and enjoy fresh, local produce accompanied by an excellent selection of fine wines.

Contrada
Castel Monastero's gourmet restaurant serves authentic Italian cuisine in an elegant setting. Local produce including oils and cheeses are hand-picked by the chefs and used in a classic Tuscan menu with a modern twist.

La Cantina
Medieval wine cellars provide an evocative setting for traditional Tuscan cuisine and La Cantina is no exception.

Whichever dining location you choose, there’s a special, almost formal feel to dining here at Castel Monastero, which seems fittingly respectful to the exemplary dishes on offer.
