CASTELLO DI CASOLE
Castello di Casole is very conveniently located for such explorations, just 20 minutes from Siena, probably the most visited Tuscan city, and 45 minutes from art-filled Florence, gateway to the region. It is also very close to Volterra, which despite having become the unfortunate victim of Twilight related tourism as the home of the vampire council in the popular book and movie series, remains a gorgeous and bewitching town, and San Gimigniano, famous for its medieval towers and “skyline.” It may be hard for visitors to pull themselves away from the easy living and creature comforts of the vast resort, but it is worth it to experience Tuscany, and for all these reasons, the spring opening of the Hotel Castello di Casole is one of the biggest and most anticipated hospitality industry events worldwide for 2012.
