8Castello di Vicarello – Intimate, Romantic, and Soulful

Set in the hills of southern Tuscany, Castello di Vicarello offers a deeply personal escape. This medieval castle-turned-boutique hotel is still owned and run by the family who restored it, and their passion for hospitality is palpable. With only a few suites, two serene pools, and breathtaking gardens, it’s the kind of place where time seems to stand still.
Why it’s special: Handmade details, alfresco dining under fig trees, and complete seclusion wrapped in romance.
