Castelfalfi, Hotel

A medieval castle anchors this Tuscan village resort, where centuries-old stone buildings have been restored around it and filled with contemporary interiors angled to make the most of the olive groves and vineyards rolling outside every window. Rooms, a spa, a handful of restaurants serving seasonal Italian cooking, and a golf course spread across the grounds. Forbes Five Star. Guests who came for a weekend tend to be found, sheepishly, on day five.
