The 800-year-old Tuscan borgo (village) of Montaione, used as a set throughout Roberto Benigni’s 2007 film Pinocchio, has been restored in its entirety. It’s now an extraordinary resort called Toscana Resort Castelfalfi, complete with a gourmet restaurant and bar situated within the borgo’s ancient castle. Choose from the 31-room La Tabaccaia boutique hotel, with original beams and tiled ceilings; a collection of luxurious villas, or 41 private apartments — each refurbished to maintain the heritage of the historic buildings that house them.
Modern touches in the apartments include under-floor heating and cooling, kitchens equipped with Miele appliances, and floors of terracotta, oak and natural stone. Bathrooms feature travertine, marble, glass and Hans Grohe rain showers. Located a scant 40 minutes from Pisa and just an hour from Florence, the resort comprises four swimming pools, 11 boutique shops, and 27 holes at Golf Club Castelfalfi. On-site bonuses: 99 acres of olive groves, and 57 acres of vineyards that produce three labels, including Chianti DOCG.
