Europe: Castello Di Casole
Italy
Always so much more than a place, Tuscany is first a way of life, each present moment infused with centuries of the world’s favorite art, culture, food and wine. Not far from Tuscany’s most enchanting city, Siena, surrounded by vineyards & groves of olives and approached through a winding passage of cypress is Castello di Casole. It offers the rare opportunity to enjoy the rich amenities of a restored Italian castle on a country estate in Tuscany. The castle’s rich history dates back to the end of the 10th century, when it was built and christened Querceto Manor. The Castello itself is enchants with Essere Spa inspired by the region’s fragrances and natural approach to diet and exercise.
