Hilltop Castle Estate On My Tuscany List · Siena Nearby — Sweeping Countryside Views
A hilltop castle with sweeping views near Siena — for travelers who want their Tuscany slightly more traditional, this is the one.
My featured line on Castello di Casole is short and deliberate: a hilltop castle estate near Siena with sweeping countryside views, slightly more traditional in feel. Within my Tuscany trio, this is the one for travelers who want their estate to feel like a castle, because it is one.
The castello crowns its own hill above a huge private estate, with views that run unbroken to the horizon in every direction. Where Castiglion del Bosco reads polished and contemporary-rustic, Casole leans into stone, heritage, and the weight of its ten centuries — Belmond's specialty, done at full scale.
I’ve visited in person, and as a Belmond preferred partner, I book it on its own or as the countryside chapter of a Belmond Italy itinerary — Florence’s Villa San Michele is barely an hour away.

Work with me and you get two things: Fora perks, and someone who knows Castello di Casole personally. As a Fora advisor, my clients receive a space-available upgrade, daily breakfast, and a hotel credit. I know the property and the team, so I personalize your stay, from the room I request to what’s arranged before you arrive, and I’m your direct line to them while you’re there. Rates are identical to booking direct.
Castello di Casole earned its place on my list. Let me match you to the right room, time it to the right season, and build the rest of the trip around it.
