STAY
Enswathed by rolling farmland in what must be one of Tuscany’s most beautiful stretches, Belmond Castello di Casole (3) has an irresistible charm. A painstakinglyrestored hilltop estate with palatial suites, there’s much to admire – the jewel being a glorious pool terrace, where guests loll beneath biscuit-toned parasols, watching swallows dip and dive overhead. You are surrounded by heart-swelling landscapes (1), and after dark the resident astronomer leads fascinating stargazing sessions.
