Belmond financed the deal with cash on hand. Following takeover of management, Belmond will rebrand the resort as Belmond Castello di Casole.

Belmond  president and chief executive officer Roeland Vos said: “I am delighted to announce the addition of the stunning and historic Castello di Casole to the Belmond portfolio.

“The Belmond brand continues to gain momentum and this acquisition marks the latest step in our journey towards realizing our strategic growth plan. The expansion of our global footprint is a central component of our strategy to double the Company’s EBITDA by 2020.

“Castello di Casole complements our existing Italian portfolio of iconic hotels in Italy, with many of our discerning guests already traveling from Belmond Villa San Michele in Florence to this authentic rural hideaway in Tuscany.”

Beginning this year, Belmond expects to invest €7.3m ($9m) through a phased refurbishment of the hotel over four years.
