Toscana Resort Castelfalfi — Montaione, Italy

Spread across a restored 2,700-acre medieval estate between Florence and Pisa, Castelfalfi is Tuscany’s largest playground for active travellers. Centre-stage is the 27-hole GEO-certified Golf Club Castelfalfi—two contrasting loops that snake through olive terraces and Sangiovese vines—with TrackMan bays and flood-lit greens extending practice past sunset. Racket-sport lovers volley on six plexi-pave tennis courts and two panoramic padel arenas, while the hill-top Adventure Park layers climbing walls and a falconry archery range beside a forest zip-line circuit.

Dawn often starts on two wheels: rental e-bikes tackle the 15 km gravel climb to Volterra, and road cyclists trace Giro d’Italia segments towards San Gimignano; mapped GPX routes and on-call nutrition vans keep watts ticking. Runners head for the 10 km vineyard loop, yogis unroll mats on a lavender lawn and truffle dogs lead autumn hikes through oak groves alive with porcini scent. Indoors, the RAKxa-branded spa couples a 25 m lap pool, Finnish sauna, Kneipp path and ice fountain to a Technogym studio where VO₂-max tests and reformer Pilates sessions calibrate performance.

Families fit seamlessly: junior golf tees, Kids’ Adventure Park rope courses and pizza-making labs free parents for tempo rounds or e-bike hill repeats. Dining keeps macros on point—La Via del Sale lists protein/carbs beside spelt orzotto and grilled Chianina steak; the organic wine bar pours low-sulphite Sangiovese while handing cyclists beet-citrus recovery shots in reusable flasks.

Rooms merge terracotta and glass, blackout shutters, orthopedic mattresses and 1 Gbps Wi-Fi for instant data sync. EV chargers ring the borgo walls, and valet laundry flips kit within six hours. Pisa and Florence airports sit equidistant at 60 km; heli-pads cut transfer time to 20 minutes. Whether you’re fine-tuning wedges, seeking padel ranking points or mixing family truffle hunts with dawn Peloton spins, Castelfalfi wraps elite sport and Tuscan soul under one cypress-crowned skyline.
