4,200 Acres Untouched, Except by HistoryOn the gently rolling hills and valleys of Tuscany are the roots of the empire.

Etruscan artifacts, ancient chapels and cobbled roads are a thousand years old.

Here, not far from the mythic cities of Florence and Siena, the life of tending to

grapes, olives, wheat and sunflowers is much the same as it has always been. In

this picturesque and untouched corner of Tuscany is one of the largest private

landholdings in all of Italy – Castello di Casole – A Timbers Resort. Once

home to the ancient and noble Bargagli family of Siena, lavish later chapters

included movie stars and luminaries. Now, at the dawn of a new century, an

exciting new era is beginning. This is Hotel Castello di Casole. Perfectly

accessible to all the wine regions, cities, the coast and the neighboring

hill towns, this is your opportunity to experience the very best of Italy.

1,000 Years in the MakingAt the heart of this vast, vibrant and vital estate is a storied castle that dates to the 1100s, where arrival is through a cypress-lined

lane that leads to the elegant courtyard. Here you will be welcomed to a five-star boutique hotel in the grand European tradition.

Exquisitely appointed, each and every accommodation is a full suite that effortlessly combines Old World Tuscan charm with

modern luxuries, sublime comfort with elegance and sophistication. It is that secret place

one might hope to discover along a country road – a place with graceful and

intimate accommodations, inspired cuisine and an inviting repertoire

of activities, and, of course, the special brand of hospitality

for which Timbers Resorts is known.

A Resplendent RestorationOne can trace the centuries across the stones of walled

courtyards and hand-set loggia once again bathed in the glow

of a warm fire. Everywhere is confirmation of a thoughtful

and painstaking seven-year restoration – reclaimed timbers,

vaulted terra-cotta, hand-hewn wood-beamed ceilings and

soft Carrara marbles reward the eye and the touch. Grand

spaces and intimate suites echo their historic character

and are f lawlessly and luxuriously finished. Life here f lows

effortlessly from inviting interior spaces that open to

f lowering terraces; cozy sitting rooms make bedrooms

true suites; and, always, the attentive service makes

this a one-of-a-kind experience.

Serene, Surprising, SumptuousWe believe that every visit to Castello di Casole should surprise and delight, shake us from our regimen and enliven the

spirit in new ways. There is a pond for ref lecting, terraces for sunning, fountains to inspire, courtyards for dining and paths

for immersing oneself in the year-round glory of Tuscany. Here too you will find new ways to connect the past with the

present day – viticultural and culinary classes, language lessons, painting and ceramic classes, outings and cultural pursuits.

The Taste of the Old World Made NewSunrise is on your private terrace, espresso

and newspaper in hand. Lunch may be a

panino under a poolside cabana, a pizza in

the courtyard or a picnic in the vineyard.

Friends arrive, gathering for an afternoon

glass of wine followed by a festive dinner

at Ristorante Tosca. Cuisine and wine are

always local, organic and original. Nature,

art, music and laughter are simple

pleasures that carry the day.

Bar ViscontiA richly appointed rendezvous for friends old and new,

Bar Visconti is as well stocked with charm and character as

it is with wine and spirits. Named for the famed filmmaker

Luchino Visconti, who lived within its walls, the room is bathed

in the seductive glow of hand-fired glass sconces, while cozy

seating arrangements throughout invite intimate conversation.

On summer nights, take hors d ’oeuvres, wine and cocktails

outdoors, where nature is certain to be the center of attention.

Ristorante ToscaRistorante Tosca mixes Old World favorites

with New World sensibilities. The focus is

pure Italy – homemade pasta, locally sourced

meat, line-caught seafood, organic produce, and

house-made breads with estate-grown extra virgin

olive oil. Every course is perfectly paired with

recommendations hand-selected by the estate’s

expert sommelier. Here, the cellar follows but a

single rule – only wines of consequence. Some

will surprise, even startle. All will delight.

PazziaIs anyone not mad for authentic Italian cuisine?

And so it seemed fitting to name our casual eatery

Pazzia, which means madness in Italian. Enjoy

homemade pasta and Tuscan style “tagliata” beef

with fresh vegetables handpicked from the chef ’s

vegetable garden. The interiors compliment

the cuisine offering a comfortable and relaxing

atmosphere with Carrara marble counters, antique

features and the original brick oven. Pazzia offers

an espresso bar, homemade gelato, divine salads

and crunchy panini. Don’t miss the thin crusted

brick oven pizza prepared to your liking.

A Serene ReprieveEssere Spa is perhaps the most dramatic setting at the hotel, with exquisite vaulted ceilings and rich stone walls creating

a theatrical setting accentuated by long views across an expansive valley. With spacious treatment rooms, secluded men’s

and women’s relaxation areas, pools, steam rooms and a private outdoor garden, the spa soothes and nourishes. Nearby, the

state-of-the-art fitness center provides even more ways to refresh and revitalize with daily fitness and movement classes.

The Luxury of ChoiceEach accommodation at the hotel is a luxurious and spacious suite designed to delight the discerning traveler. From

enchanting studios and junior suites to the stately Bargagli Penthouse, these enticing spaces have been painstakingly

restored. Authentic details – wood-beamed ceilings, stone walls and hand-plastered finishes – have been gently coaxed

into the modern era with luxurious fabrics, fixtures and furnishings, an alluring blend of old and new.
