La Monastica Resort & Spa is a destination for those seeking a restorative and unhurried stay within a setting of exceptional historical and natural beauty. It is a place designed to leave everyday pressures behind and to reconnect with oneself, rediscovering a deep sense of wellbeing that comes from living in tune with nature. Created from the former Monastery of Santa Scolastica in the medieval village of Buggiano Castello, in the Valdinievole area of Tuscany, the resort opened in August 2024. Guests may choose between 19 rooms and suites within the monastery or a selection of independent residences located in the village, just a short walk away. The resort also includes the Devoti Restaurant, set across several distinct spaces, a spa, and the Soul Paradise wellness path, a one of a kind experience carved from the base of a medieval tower and extending into a seventeenth century cistern. An expansive terraced garden, two swimming pools and Il Podere, an estate farmed according to sustainable principles and centred around a multifunctional farmhouse, complete the property. Several elements contribute to the distinct identity of the resort: its elevated position overlooking the entire Valdinievole valley, a mild microclimate that ensures pleasant temperatures throughout the year, the natural sense of privacy provided by centuries old walls, and a layered architectural structure that bears witness to the passage of time while shaping the relationship between spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?
No - VIP rates under Rialto Collection always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.
Can my AI assistant book this hotel?
Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT with our AI hotel booking MCP server and ask for rates. You finish the booking instantly on a secure Rialto page, direct with the hotel. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
What is the value of the VIP benefits?
Daily breakfast for two plus the hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.
How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?
Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.
