# Culinary flights of fancy in Castelfalfi Resort

> Castelfalfi Resort is a TUI Blue Selection property in the medieval Tuscan mountain village of Castelfalfi, near Montaione, celebrated for its three restaurants spotlighting regional Tuscan cuisine, local olive oil, truffles, and fine wines.

## Destination
Castelfalfi, Montaione, Tuscany, Italy

## What to see
- **Medieval castle cellar** — Houses the gourmet restaurant La Rocca di Castelfalfi in an elegant, historic setting
- **Terrace panorama at La Via del Sale** — Grand views over bucolic Tuscan scenery, best enjoyed in warm weather at sunset

## What to do
- **Dine at Gourmet Restaurant La Rocca di Castelfalfi** — Chef Michele Rinaldi reinterprets classic Tuscan dishes; Gran Gourmet menu includes truffle beef tartare and stinging nettle ravioli
- **Eat at La Via del Sale** — Main resort restaurant serving modern Italian cuisine including beef filet with truffles, tortelli alla carbonara, and a lavish breakfast buffet
- **Lunch or dinner at Pizzeria Il Rosmarino** — Rustic trattoria with thin-crust pizza from a wood-fired oven using local Castelfalfi olive oil and seasonal regional products

## Good to know
All three restaurants are consistently well booked; advance reservations are strongly recommended. The resort is operated under the TUI Blue Selection brand and places strong emphasis on regional and seasonal Tuscan products.
