A 5,000-acre Tuscan estate in the UNESCO-protected Val d'Orcia, Castiglion del Bosco is a Rosewood resort built around a medieval borgo, its church ruins and restored farmhouses still doing most of the decorating. The Ferragamo family, yes, those Ferragamos, bought it to make Brunello di Montalcino and ended up with a village. It holds a Forbes Five Star, and the landscape earns it more than any amenity list could.
