Seventeenth-Century Architecture Between History and Wellness in Pontebosio, Tuscany

This majestic 17th-century structure, located in the heart of Lunigiana, stands where the independent fiefdom of the Malaspina family once dominated. Formerly a noble residence and later an educational institute, the building has undergone a skillful restoration that preserved its imposing military soul, transforming it into a high-prestige resort where history meets refined modern luxury.
Developed over a surface of 2000 sqm, the castle hosts 14 sumptuous bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, offering environments of rare elegance. The architectural heart is a suggestive central cloister that floods the lower floors with natural light. The ground floor features an elite restaurant for 120 guests, an elegant bar, and a monumental reception. Common areas include spacious halls for receptions, conferences, and gala evenings.

A state-of-the-art wellness area completes the indoor offer, featuring a sauna, emotional shower, and massage rooms, designed to ensure an absolute relaxation experience within an unparalleled historical context, enriched by multiple dedicated SPA areas.

The property extends over 1500 sqm of expertly manicured outdoor spaces. A splendid covered terrace offers a privileged panoramic view towards the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, while the restaurant’s dehor accommodates 32 guests in a sophisticated atmosphere. The estate’s boundary is touched by a placid stream that, with its silent flow, grants a magnetic charm and natural coolness during the summer months. Convenient outdoor parking spaces ensure perfect logistical functionality for the property’s guests, maintaining the exclusivity of the arrival experience.

The excellence of the property is defined by three dedicated SPA areas, representing an essential complement to guest comfort. The versatility of the spaces allows for high-profile events, from international galas to intimate private ceremonies. The conservative restoration has integrated latest-generation technological systems and modern comforts without altering the aesthetics of the seventeenth-century walls, creating a perfect balance between a noble past and a functional future.

Located in the medieval village of Pontebosio, Tuscany, the castle enjoys a strategic position between the Apennine peaks and the Tyrrhenian coast. The area, rich in history and Malaspina castles, offers a regenerating isolation immersed in pristine nature and unique landscapes.
