We searched for this place for a long time. What we are developing is not a typical resort, it’s a new approach for the international luxury travel market that offers apartments, a range of farmhouses, a luxury club concept and four and five stars hotels. Our guests are well travelled and looking for an authentic experience. With us, that is exactly what they will find.

Luxury is not represented by jewels or beautiful cars. It is represented by living healthy, breathing fresh air and loving renovated medieval villages, that can be found only in Italy, and that only Italy can offer to the world. Tourism is a treasure and Italy has yet to fully understand that.

Why does a big international group like Tui decide to bet on this ambitious project by investing remarkable resources, with a completely unconventional approach? First, I would say that the main reason is the unique charm of Castelfalfi, with its ancient roots and its unmistakable Tuscan atmosphere. Being said that, the challenge here is to give this land its true identity back, by providing the modern comforts our visitors need without compromising the balance of nature and history of this place. And so far, we are winning this challenge.

Tenuta di  Castelfalfi: Hunting Reserve

In the heart of the region, in the area between Florence, Pisa and Siena, is an 800-year-old estate dominated by an ancient castle: once home to the Medici family, this beautiful but neglected corner of Italy has been thoughtfully redeveloped and reborn as Toscana Resort Castelfalfi.

Castelfalfi, which has risen and fallen several times throughout its history, is in the midst of a new renaissance, and visitors may feel as though they’ve stepped into an epic Tuscan fairytale. First settled by the Etruscans about 2,500 years ago, Castelfalfi came into its own with the rise of Florence in the 13th century, when its castle and much of the current village were built. Sadly, the village was pillaged during the  Florence-Siena war in 1554, but had another prosperous period in the 18th century as a Municipality under the peaceful administration of Montaione.The

Restoration and preservation operations of the Castello di Castelfalfi

The current stage of the restoration and preservation of the Castello di Castelfalfi forms part of a long series of operations to which the village of the same name has been subjected over the centuries, without ever undermining the fascination of this estate sitting between the provinces of Pisa and Florence. Built around 700 A.D. by Faolfi from Lombardy, hence the origins of its name, the village changed hands several times over the years until finally becoming the property of Giovanni di Francesco Gaetani, husband of Costanza de’ Medici, who restructured it in 1475 and
