Stargazing
Our property has been awarded the “I Cieli più belli d’Italia” quality astrotourism certification, which identifies the very best locations for observing Italy’s beautiful night sky.
On Monday evenings during the summer, we host Dinner under the Stars, a typical Tuscan sagra-style dinner in the ancient courtyard with cooking stations and live Italian music. This is followed by astro tourist guided stargazing sessions in the amphitheatre using state-of-the-art telescopes.
In addition, private astro tour lessons with English-speaking guides can be arranged for individual guests, during which they are guided through the stars, galaxies, planets and nebulae with the aid of powerful telescopes and learn how to navigate their way in the dark using the constellations.

Cinema Under The Stars
Launched in 2022 to embrace the concept of the Italian Villeggiatura – slow, sensuous summers and the height of indulgence – Castello is continuing its alfresco summer movie season.
The initiative revives an Italian custom that was popular up until the 1970s, when groups would gather under a starry sky to enjoy a fantastic open-air film. After a Tuscan dinner in the courtyard, guests follow an illuminated path to our magnificent amphitheatre, where a big screen and every cinematic comfort await.
Truffle Hunting
Tuscany is home to the rarest and finest truffles on earth. Head out with your expert guide and experienced Lagotto Romagnolo dogs to uncover these elusive tubers.
