Hotel Castello di Casole, now part of Belmond Hotels, offers 41 luxurious hotel suites in a range of styles and sizes to accommodate visitors in grand style. From studio suites in the main villa area to apartment-style olive grove suites a short walk away, these enticing spaces have been painstakingly restored using original materials found on the estate. Authentic details – wood-beamed ceilings, stone walls and hand-plastered finishes – are gently coaxed into the modern era with luxurious fabrics, fixtures and furnishings, an alluring blend of old and new.
In addition to the luxury suites, guests of Belmond Castello di Casole are welcome to choose from other five-star accommodations on the estate.
