Relais Castel Bigozzi  

Hidden in the rolling Tuscan hills of Monteriggioni (Strove), this medieval castle-turned-hotel sits about 4 km from the city center. Stroll to Monteriggioni Castle or drive into Florence to see Piazzale Michelangelo, Pitti Palace and the Ponte Vecchio. Close to The Rock of Staggia and Piazza Arnolfo di Cambio, it’s a great base for art, history and countryside escapes.

Castel Bigozzi keeps its antique charm and noble history while offering 18 individually decorated guestrooms. Rooms have minibars, refrigerators, safes and desks, plus bathrooms with bidets and hair dryers. Expect warm Tuscan décor, a quiet countryside vibe, and a hospitable, historic atmosphere that feels both luxe and lived-in.

Soak in the outdoor pool, unwind in the sauna and spa center, or book massages, body treatments and facials. There’s a health club, picnic and barbecue areas, free self-parking and a tour desk to book local hikes or thermal spring trips. Pet-friendly and accessible with an elevator, the place is family-friendly and ideal for slow, sensory Tuscan mornings.

Conference center and meeting room on site, plus express check-in/out and multilingual staff. Complimentary wireless internet and concierge services make it easy to mix work and relaxation.

Enjoy a restaurant serving local Tuscan flavors, a coffee shop/café and a bar/lounge for after-dinner drinks. Room service is available during limited hours, and outdoor BBQ spots add a rustic touch to casual meals.
