Castel Monastero Resort is nestled in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards, and olive groves. It’s around a 30 minute transfer from the historic city of Siena, making it easily accessible for the Palio, while offering a peaceful, secluded retreat away from the city’s bustle.
The resort has a variety of dining options including:
Contrada – An elegant gourmet restaurant with refined Tuscan cuisine crafted by Executive Chef Davide Canella. The menu blends classic Italian flavours with contemporary touches, focusing on locally sourced ingredients — perfect for a romantic dinner or special night out. It also offers al fresco dining in summer overlooking the resort’s charming piazza.
La Cantina – A relaxed yet atmospheric restaurant set in the resort’s medieval wine cellar. Here you can enjoy traditional Tuscan dishes like pici pasta, ribollita, and Chianina beef alongside a strong selection of local wines.
Chigi Bar & Aqva Pool Bar – For a lighter, casual experience, the Chigi Bar offers aperitifs and drinks in the monastery’s historic spaces, while the pool bar serves refreshing snacks and cocktails during the warmer months.
Toast, Wine & Snacks – Beyond formal dining, guests can sample local Chianti and Tuscan wines paired with regional cheeses and charcuterie — ideal for a laid‑back tasting or pre‑dinner aperitivo.
