About Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco
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.
