Near Siena, in the heart of Chianti, Castel Monastero is a beautifully restored castle with spectacular views of Tuscany. Luxurious rooms, gourmet dining, Gordon Ramsay restaurant, world class spa. Live the moment.

Back in the 11th century it was a monastery surrounded by the peace and quiet of the hills near Siena. It then became a castle and the country residence of the noble Chigi family, and later a romantic hamlet in the Tuscan countryside. The glorious past of Castel Monastero, today a luxury resort just a few kilometres from Siena, can be seen all around.
To see it for yourself all you have to do is pass through the walls that protect the ancient hamlet and stand in the square lined with splendid buildings. Then step into any of the rooms or suites, or the wonderful detached villa, and revel in the charm, colours and style of real Tuscany.
You are in the heart of Chiantishire. Look out of the window. Stretching out before your eyes are vineyards, woods and fields straight from a Medieval fresco, and a splendid square, with its café, restaurant and even a little church. You’ll soon realise you’re not just in a spectacular room, you're in the heart of the most beautiful part of Italy.

Culture, emotion, memory: these are all found in fine Tuscan cuisine and its wines.
They are also found in Castel Monastero and its gourmet restaurants, “Contrada” and “La Cantina”. In charge of the menu is Gordon Ramsay, a leading personality in European cuisine, with a personal collection of 10 Michelin stars and an absolute passion for Tuscany.

Wellness & SPA: In two traditional old elegant Tuscan villas, just a stone's throw from the hamlet, you can try out the extraordinary Slimming, Detox and Anti Age treatments.
Complementing these treatments and enhancing their effect is the amazing "Aquae Monasterii" course with its high saline density sea oil pool, designed exclusively for spa by the medical team of Thalasso del Forte, the spa at Forte Village, a World's Leading Resort since 1998.
But that's not all. In the healthy, peaceful setting of hills of the Chianti region, the extremely discreet Castel Monastero spa has been chosen by internationally recognised medical centres providing plastic and aesthetic surgery, for post-op convalescence after reshaping and rejuvenating operations, for both men and women.
If you’re looking for inner harmony, just close your eyes and inhale the warmth of the nature all around you. In the woods, the countryside and the wonderful garden around Castel Monastero and its spa, you can try some intensely energising yoga sessions, led by internationally renowned qualified instructors.
