An 800-year-old medieval Tuscan village turned resort that's located in the Golden Triangle (the Tuscan area between Florence, Pisa and Siena), Toscana Resort IL Castelfalfi is Tuscany's newest luxury escape.

Small Town Fun
For couples who want a little New England charm, no place offers more than Woodstock Inn & Resort, a little slice of joy tucked away in Vermont.
