Most suites have stunning views of the Tuscan countryside, and all have complete access to the estate’s services and amenities, including the Essere luxury spa, pools and fitness centre, and casual and fine dining options.
Belmond Castello di Casole offers a choice of dining; you can either sample delicious Tuscan specialties with a twist inspired by Daniele Sera’s brilliant interpretation of whatever is in season at Ristorante Tosca or enjoy the combination of Tuscan delicacies with Venetian dishes at Cip's Club by Belmond Hotel Cipriani.
