Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, the bucolic Tuscan resort founded by Massimo and Chiara Ferragamo, today announces a series of special offers for the winter season. For the third year in a row, the resort will open its luxury villas during the colder months with the Winter Villa Escape, a special villa rental offer starting from EURO 2,500 per day for a 3-bedroom villa. Available from November 18, 2018 to April 17, 2019, the Winter Villa Escape offers guests a tranquil retreat in one of the property’s 11 luxury villas, providing a unique, intimate way to discover the magic of the Italian countryside in the wintertime. Housed in restored 17th and 18th century farmhouses, the enchanting villas are the perfect jumping off point from which to explore Tuscany’s rich cultural traditions and natural beauty.
Ideal for romantic getaways and large family gatherings alike, the resort’s Winter Villa Escape includes a curated collection of immersive programming and ultra-luxurious services. Upon arrival to their villa, guests will find their home-away-from-home stocked with locally-sourced groceries perfect for enjoying fireside with a glass of the estate Brunello di Montalcino.
