Hotel Information
Located approximately 30 minutes outside of Siena, Castel Monastero is a luxury resort in the middle of the Chianti region.
Back in the 11th century it was a monastery surrounded by the peace and quiet of the hills near Siena. It then became a castle and the country residence of the noble Chigi family, and later a romantic hamlet in the Tuscan countryside. The glorious past of Castel Monastero can be seen all around.
To see it for yourself all you have to do is pass through the walls that protect the ancient hamlet and stand in the square lined with splendid buildings. Then step into any of the rooms or suites, or the wonderful detached villa, and revel in the charm, colours and style of real Tuscany.
You are in the heart of Chiantishire. Stretching out before your eyes are vineyards, woods and fields straight from a Medieval fresco, and a splendid square, with its café, restaurant and even a little church. You’ll soon realise you’re not just in a spectacular room, you're in the heart of the most beautiful part of Italy.
Each bedroom is furnished in Tuscan country style with historic materials and precious textiles creating a warm, intimate atmosphere. Every room boasts a magnificent view of the piazza di Castel Monastero or the surrounding countryside.
The resort boasts two restaurants; “Contrada” and “La Cantina”. The former offers gourmet dishes and is a charming, elegant establishment with classic flavours of Tuscan Cuisine. La Cantina has a more relaxed atmosphere and is based in the medieval wine cellars of the resort.

Resort Restaurants
Culture, emotion, memory: these are all found in fine Tuscan cuisine and its wines. They are also found in Castel Monastero and its gourmet restaurants, “Contrada” and “La Cantina”.
Completing the pleasure of a day at Castel Monastero is the tearoom at the spa with its infusions of aromatic herbs grown on the estate, and a wine bar in which the best aperitifs and the most famous labels of Tuscan wines may be sampled.
Contrada Restaurant
Facing the piazza, true to the most authentic Italian tradition, “Contrada” is Castel Monastero’s gourmet restaurant.
The charming, elegant establishment is divided into two lounges, also available for private dinners. On the menu are classic flavours of Tuscan cuisine, re-worked in a modern key. Maximum attention is paid to local products, which are selected directly by our chefs. A delightful tasting of typical wines, oils and cheeses is an opportunity not to be missed.
Dinner in this restaurant is included within your package on your arrival evening.
La Cantina
An evocative setting with a relaxed atmosphere. In the medieval wine cellars of Castel Monastero, where the estate’s Chianti has rested for centuries, a delightful restaurant serving Tuscan cuisine has been opened.
The architecture, with its high vaulted ceilings and visible stone walls, will take you back in time. The dishes are eternal masterpieces of unique Italian tradition: from “pici” pasta with bread and tomato sauce, to Chianina meat. The wine list is extraordinary.
Ideal for a quick lunch or a laid-back dinner.
