Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco in Montalcino, open May–August.
An eight-hundred-year-old borgo on the Via Francigena pilgrim route, its five thousand acres making it one of the largest privately owned estates in Italy — bought in 2003 by fashion scion Massimo Ferragamo and restored into what became, in 2015, Italy’s first Rosewood.
Travel + Leisure named it the number-one hotel in the world in 2022.
Weddings unfold across the medieval hamlet: ceremony in the frescoed church of San Michele Arcangelo (around fifty guests), receptions in the castle ruins or gardens for up to about two hundred, and a full-resort buyout available when a couple wants all forty-two suites and eleven villas to themselves.
The estate’s winery was a founding member of the Brunello di Montalcino consortium in 1967, so the wine list at dinner is the land you’re standing on.
