Savor the sweet life as you Indulge yourself in this exclusive experience at Monteverdi – a rare charming hotel/spa, in Castiglioncello del Trinoro, Italy.  Imagine a hilltop in Tuscany—the kind you dream about, with views so spectacular that they take your breath away! Monteverdi sits 30 minutes from Italy's most iconic hilltop wine towns - Montalcino, Montepulciano, and Pienza and even closer to organic family-owned cheese farms, olive groves, wineries and more. 

Each room, rich in history and character, is uniquely designed and decorated to represent a slice of Tuscan life.  Monteverdi’s spa takes inspiration from modern luxury and old traditions, which includes an underground heated pool based on ancient Roman baths, a sensory shower, a cold plunge pool, treatments inspired by a hammam, and outdoor travertine soaking tubs with views of all the valley.

The rooms  (all available for single or double occupancy) are classically Tuscan: stone walls, wood-beam ceilings and views laid out like paintings from every window,  superb bathrooms with Organic La Saponari bath products, and elegant touches throughout.

GOOP | April 2019

"Imagine a hilltop in Tuscany—the kind with views so spectacular that UNESCO deemed it a World Heritage Site, the kind with charming centuries-old buildings, the kind you dream about in the movie version of your trip. And while we’re indulging this fantasy, let’s add that the interiors have giant bathtubs, high thread counts, and the kind of preternatural beauty that could be its own coffee-table book. This hilltop exists. It’s a hamlet of a town called Castiglioncello del Trinoro. Population: sixteen, give or take. And virtually every building in this hamlet comprises Monteverdi, a boutique hotel slash spa slash wine bar slash world-class restaurant. The place is so spectacular that we quickly run out of superlatives. But know this: The spa—which includes an underground heated pool based on ancient Roman baths, a sensory shower, a cold plunge pool, a heated room with treatments inspired by a hammam, and outdoor travertine soaking tubs with views of all the valley—will make you feel like Emperor Augustus."

DEPARTURES | MAY 2019

"Stepping inside the ancient walls of Monteverdi Tuscany is transformative. The boutique hotel, which is spread out throughout the villas and old-world buildings of the little village of Castiglioncello del Trinoro, is unlike anything else you might experience in the world. As a Unesco World Heritage Site, the windows of each carefully designed room (courtesy of Italian designer Ilaria Miani, a friend and collaborator of director Wes Anderson) reveal sweeping views of the rolling Val d’Orcia hills and vibrant greenery. It’s no wonder Anderson penned the entirety of The Grand Budapest Hotel here."

There are three excellent options for traveling to Monteverdi:
