Castello di Vicarello

Hidden among the rolling hills of the Maremma countryside, Castello di Vicarello is a remarkable private estate where medieval heritage, contemporary design and the timeless beauty of Tuscany come together.

Dating back to the 12th century, the castle has been lovingly restored by the Baccheschi Berti family, preserving its historic character while transforming it into an intimate retreat defined by individuality, warmth and understated luxury. Original stone walls, carefully collected antiques, distinctive artworks and natural materials create interiors that feel less like a conventional hotel and more like a beautifully lived-in Italian residence.

The estate extends across vineyards, centuries-old olive groves and cultivated gardens, creating a landscape that invites guests to slow down and reconnect with nature. Individually designed suites combine historic architectural details with modern comforts, while panoramic swimming pools overlook the surrounding Tuscan hills. For an even greater sense of privacy, Villa La Vedetta offers its own heated marble pool.

Food and wine are at the heart of the experience. Ingredients harvested from the estate’s organic gardens inspire seasonal Tuscan cuisine, while the property’s vineyards produce distinctive wines that reflect the character of the land. Cooking classes, wine tastings and intimate dining experiences offer guests a deeper connection to the region’s culinary traditions.

Beyond the castle, the Maremma reveals another side of Tuscany: quieter villages, ancient hill towns, unspoilt countryside and a dramatic Mediterranean coastline. Guests can explore the landscape by electric bicycle, ride through the countryside, discover local vineyards or venture towards the beaches of Monte Argentario.

Castello di Vicarello is not simply a place to stay, but an invitation to inhabit the Tuscan dream. Private, atmospheric and deeply connected to its surroundings, it is a sanctuary for travellers who value authenticity, extraordinary design and the rare luxury of feeling completely removed from the world.
