This Tuscan hotel on a 5,000-acre estate was named the best in Europe

The best hotels around the world have just been named by Travel + Leisure – and a property set in a 900-year-old 5,000-acre estate in the heart of Tuscany took the top spot in Europe.

Castiglion del Bosco, a Rosewood Hotel received an impressive score of 99.58 out of 100, with 207,000 readers taking part in the World’s Best Awards voting.

We can see why: The sprawling property, composed of 42 suites and 11 private villas, is home to Italy’s only private golf club as well as the historic Castiglion del Bosco winery and Brunello di Montalcino vineyards.

Villa guests can relax by their own private pools, while the hotel’s main infinity pool boasts incredible views of the hilltop town of Montalcino and the Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The food offering is as impressive as the setting, with the two-Michelin-starred Ristorante Campo del Drago, which exclusively uses ingredients from Tuscany, the trattoria-style Osteria La Canonica, and the Pool Bar.
