If you’ve decided on or are considering a honeymoon in Italy, there are countless amazing resorts and hotels to choose from. To help narrow your search, why not take your trip over-the-top and book accommodations that also offer romantic, bonus packages? Luckily, there is one resort in Tuscany that checks all the honeymoon boxes – Castello di Casole – A Timbers Resort. The historic 4,200-acre estate features restored Tuscan farmhouses, a 41-suite boutique hotel (complete with a world-class spa), ten hotel villas and a luxurious penthouse. Once you’ve checked in, you might not want to go anywhere else since the estate also includes a model game reserve, 88 acres of vineyards, 13 acres of olive groves and an expansive trail system. 

In case all of this wasn’t enough “romance factor,” Castello di Casole’s namesake castle dates back to the 10th century – making it an ideal place to begin your history as a married couple. The resort has also been named the “#1 Hotel in Europe” for four years running in Travel and Leisure’s “World’s Best Awards.” The resort offers a variety of comprehensive packages (culinary, family, spa & sport, etc.), but the one we’re drooling over is the Tuscan Honeymoon Package.
