Select Italy comprises a large range of accommodation, from simple residences to luxury hotels. The official ratings are based on certain facilities or services being available and they do not take into account the size of the bedrooms or public rooms, nor the preferred décor of the owner, which may be at odds with your taste. Hotels in the same category, even in the same resort, can vary considerably in character, ambience, service and facilities and may not offer the same staffing levels and facilities, or be as well maintained. it must be bourne in mind that cost is a good indication of standards, particulary when comparing hotels in the same star rating.
As well as the hotel's official star rating, we have also given our own special rating, based on our personal opinion. This rating should be taken into consideration, especially when comparing hotels of the same official star rating. By all means browse our website to get an idea of what we offer. However, if like many of our repeat customers, you would like the reassurance of speaking to someone with first hand knowledge of a particular property or area, then do call us. Together we will find the perfect hotel and create a wonderful itinerary.

About the hotel
Castel Monastero Tuscan Resort & Spa is a small medieval village built in the 11th century, located in the splendid Ombrone Valley, 15 miles east of Siena. Transformed into a luxurious country resort that is surrounded by Chianti vineyards, cornfields, chestnut forests and orderly rows of cypress trees, the amenities and level of service is so high that you may never want to leave this Tuscan paradise!
The guestrooms and Suites are scattered throughout the property in various stone buildings and in an independent villa, the magnificent 17th-century Villa Lavanda. They overlook the village square and surrounding countryside, and are supplied with rustic but elegant furniture in the Tuscan tradition, blended with contemporary style and comfort. Terracotta floors, wood-beamed ceilings and a spacious sitting area characterize several of the room types, while the large bathrooms are all in volcanic stone and many have a separate tub and shower.
In keeping with Tuscany's fine food and wine culture, there are two restaurants to choose from, both under the supervision of Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsey. Contrada is the resort's elegant gourmet restaurant where the classic flavors of Tuscany are reworked in a modern key. The relaxed atmosphere of La Cantina in the vaulted spaces of the medieval wine cellars is ideal for a quick lunch or a laid-back dinner.Two charming venues in the Spa are the tearoom, serving infusions of aromatic herbs grown on the estate, and the wine bar where you can relax with an aperitif or a glass of Chianti wine.
From the Himalayas to the hills of Chianti -- East meets West at the state-of-the-art Spa, located in two beautiful, rustic, rural buildings on the property. Here guests may choose from an array of treatments like weight-loss, detox, and revitalization for mind and body created exclusively for Castel Monastero by Dr. Mosaraf Ali, a leading expert in Ayurvedic and integrated medicine.
