"Set within a 10th-century castle and 4,200 acres of cypress-lined hills west of Siena, this expansive estate combines 39 castle suites and 28 scattered villas and farmhouses decorated in rustic Tuscan style with carved wooden furniture and exposed stone walls. Culinary fans will appreciate three on-site restaurants and hands-on cooking courses, while other leisure options include croquet, an on-site cinema, cycling beneath tree-lined paths, and guided truffle-hunting excursions with Lagotto Romagnolo dogs." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo
