Toscana Resort Castelfalfi
Enchanting Tuscan retreat in an ancient medieval village



Less than an hour from Florence, Pisa and Lucca, an 800-year-old medieval village has been brought back to life with a project that emphasises hospitality, honest cuisine and sports activities. The Castelfalfi Resort is an attractive retreat for those looking for romantic Tuscan landscapes, fine rustic cooking and heartfelt hospitality. Tourists can become part of the community by purchasing village apartments or one of the country villas that dot the lush estate. The estate is a proud producer of high-quality products, including wine, olive oil and honey.
