In the heart of Chianti, this restored castle now turned 5-star hotel overlooks vineyards, woods, and fields straight from a Medieval fresco. What attracts many people to Castel Monastero (besides the incredible views) is the medical and beauty treatments offered here. Guests can book things such as osteopathy and somato-emotional appointments, acupuncture, positive thinking sessions, as well as a list of women-only programs and activities that cover everything from aesthetic to emotional aspects. The property also provides time for things such as hiking, biking, hot air ballooning, truffle hunting, cooking classes, Vespa tours; even a test drive in a Ferrari. A splendid square is located nearby with a lovely Italian cafe, a local restaurant, and even a small church. #castles #italy #wine
