The story
Perched at 650 meters in the southern Tuscan hills, Castello di Fighine is an 11th-century castle transformed into a refined estate. Its restored stone walls enclose five villas, two apartments, a private theater, and the ancient church of Pieve di San Michele Arcangelo. The interiors retain original features—painted dome ceilings, stone floors, and antique furnishings—while modern comforts like air conditioning and Wi-Fi are seamlessly integrated. The gardens and terraces offer panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, creating an atmosphere of quiet luxury.
The estate’s restaurant holds a Michelin star, awarded for its high-quality contemporary cooking. The dining room is elegant and understated, with service that reflects the property’s attention to detail. On warm days, guests can dine on the outdoor terrace, surrounded by the Tuscan landscape. The kitchen focuses on contemporary cuisine, using fresh, seasonal ingredients to create dishes that are both refined and rooted in the region’s traditions. This is a place where the culinary experience is as memorable as the setting.
Castello di Fighine is not just a restaurant; it is a place to linger. The villas, such as Villa Melissa and Casa Janine, are individually decorated with Italian antiques and often designed by Federico Forquet. They feature private gardens, pools, and fully equipped kitchens. The estate also caters to private events and weddings, offering a versatile backdrop for celebrations. For those seeking a Michelin-starred dining experience in a historic Tuscan setting, Castello di Fighine delivers a seamless blend of past and present.
