Castello di Vicarello
Poggi del Sasso (Grosseto), Italy
Tuscany’s rolling hills are idyllic in their own right. Add in a 12th-century castle, marble pools flanked by towering Cypress trees, and hectare-upon-hectare of scented gardens, olive groves and vineyards in the Maremma countryside – and you’ve got a picture-perfect stay. While sleeping in a castle brings extravagance to mind, Castello di Vicarello is far more homely – with 10 cosy suites, a rustic kitchen in the place of a formal restaurant, and warm service reflective of a family-owned premises. The castle’s honey-hued stone and brick walls are still in place, along with centuries-old fireplaces and rustic beams, while contemporary artworks and Indonesian artefacts have been added to the mix. As you would expect from a Tuscan trip, the hotel prides itself on food-related experiences – from farm-to-table dining and wine tastings, to cooking classes and truffle hunting – and further facilities include an Indonesian-inspired spa and alfresco gym. The entire estate is also available for exclusive hire – ideal for weddings, family reunions and corporate getaways.
