Every year for our World’s Best Awards survey, GoTravelDaily asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe—sharing their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Hotels (including safari lodges) were rated on their facilities, location, service, food, and overall value. Properties were classified as city hotel, resort, or safari lodge based on their locations and amenities.
1. Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, Montalcino, Italy
This centuries-old Tuscan estate snagged the top prize, with a near-perfect score to boot. Its guests enjoy maximum privacy—the 5,000-acre property encompasses just 42 suites and 11 villas—and find plenty of activities. They can visit the Brunello di Montalcino winery, play a round on the 18-hole golf course, indulge in treatments at the lush spa located in the estate’s former wine cellars, or relax by a heated infinity pool with breathtaking views of the countryside. Culinary offerings include two excellent restaurants and a cooking school, complemented by a charming kitchen garden and even a truffle-hunting excursion. Rooms are lavish, and service is impeccable, ensuring that any countryside-vacation dreams come true.
