Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco Reopens for 2025 in the heart of Italy's Val d’Orcia Natural Park

Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, is reopening for its 10^th anniversary year as a Rosewood property on March 21, and will be open for the season until January 7, 2026.

Located in the heart of the Val d’Orcia Natural Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Castiglion del Bosco is set within a 5,000-acre 900-year-old Italian estate. It encompasses the ancient ruins of a castle from the 12th century, a 14th-century medieval church, and the borgo – the historic hamlet that today forms the vibrant core of the resort managed by Rosewood Hotels & Resorts – where the 42 Suites and 11 Villas of the property are located. In the Villas, service is impeccable, starting with a wake-up breakfast prepared by the Mamma in Villa – a housekeeper who attends to daily tasks and makes guests feel at home, followed by a wide variety of customizable activities accessible by the provided 7-seat Land Rover Defender. The two gastronomic identities on-site, Osteria La Canonica – a typical Tuscan trattoria; and Ristorante Campo del Drago, which was awarded its second Michelin Star in 2025, are inspired from the estate’s organic garden produce, located just a few steps from the kitchen. Also available are the cooking school, two poolside bars, and the Lobby Bar.
