A quiet country road leads through gates to the Castello di Vicarello, a historic castle and luxury boutique hotel in Tuscany. Built in 1112, this 12^th century castle is the perfect romantic getaway, and is ideal for travelers seeking a relaxing escape year-round. Located in the Maremma region of southwest Tuscany, with views over the rolling hills of olive groves and vineyards, this traditional stone castle turned luxury retreat is utterly remote, and invites guests to slow their pace during their stay at the Vicarello.

Vicarello is not only ancient, but also completely personal; the owners, Aurora and Carlo Baccheschi Berti, have called it home since 1978, and transformed the property into a hotel in 2003. They have decorated the grounds with an eclectic mix of antique artifacts and personal items collected throughout their colorful lives. The two wanted to create a place that encompasses beauty, tranquility and authenticity while also reflecting a life lived to the highest standards of culture, quality and commitment.
