SETTING & STYLE

Castel Monastero sits in one of the most beautiful stretches of Tuscany; the Ombrone Valley, just 23km from Siena.  Surrounded by four hectares of vineyards, chestnut forests and cypress trees, the Resort was originally a medieval village called Monastero d’Ombrone; the records of the village dating back as far as 1050. Now beautifully renovated, this ancient hamlet has become the Castel Monastero; the latest addition to the prestigious Forte Village group of properties. The 74 guestrooms and suites are all decorated in a rustic, yet elegant style. Some are located in the buildings, around the Piazza, whilst others occupy the charmingly renovated houses in the immediate vicinity.  The Castel Monastero Villa occupies 160m2 and has wonderful views over the village.  

RESTAURANTS & BARS

Castel Monastero offers a superb gourmet restaurant “Contrada” , and the Tuscan restaurant “La Cantina”, located in the original XIII century vaulted cellar. Here guests can sample the finest Tuscan wines and the best local specialities.
