"Ancient fortifications, towers, turrets, and crenellations give way to handsome wine cellars and vineyard views at this castle hotel — a masterclass in transforming a thousand-year-old estate into a historically preserved, contemporarily luxurious retreat." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Set on the site of a thousand-year-old aristocratic estate, this meticulously restored retreat balances rigorously historical work with a few welcome liberties, resulting in a timeless, classic Italian country atmosphere enhanced by modern marble baths and up-to-date electronic amenities." - The MICHELIN Guide
"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
"An elegant river barge through the Champagne region of France. Foregoing shiny yachts on open seas for classic barges on scenic French waterways, Belmond’s fleet of luxury péniches will expand in May 2023 with the inaugural voyage of Coquelicot in Champagne. Slow, sophisticated travel is the objective; each sailing is a week long to allow guests the time to slip into the gentle rhythm of river cruising. As they do, they’ll breathe in the scents of local herbs and wildflowers that perfume the large top deck social area and lounge in artfully curated living spaces outfitted in the pastel shades of sparkling wine. A partnership with Maison Ruinart, the original Champagne house, uncorks exclusive tastings and lunches both onboard and in the vineyard. “We provide an exclusive home that moves while enjoying the most amazing meals with the best produce sourced from local markets and a dedicated team who is on hand for any requests," says Gary Franklin, vice president of Belmond Trains and Cruises. "This has never been more relevant or appealing to guests as it is today.”"
"Hotel Castello di Casole stands on the site of a thousand-year-old aristocratic estate, the fruit of years of meticulous restoration by an army of architects and designers." - Mark Fedeli
