Designer’s Hotel Guide: Castello Di Vicarello
We are always on the hunt for the best stays overseas and our lists are constantly getting longer. In 2023 we stayed at some amazing hotels while in Italy, with lots of questions asked about where we stayed we have put together our itinerary over a couple of blog posts so you too can visit.
We believe that these are some of the best Italian hotels ever! Take a look at our top tips on things to do at Castello Di Vicarello, Tuscany.
THE ROOM
A very private room, this room is set down overlooking the beautiful rolling green hills.
Entering the room from above and walking down a winding spiral staircase, you feel as though you are a world away from home.
An antique undertone with considered green elements, the standout design elements of the bedroom are the butter coloured lime wash to the walls, the oversized antique artwork above with bed and the feature heated green marble to the bathroom.
The wall colour and lighting makes the space feel so beautifully warm and homely in contrast to the underground feel.
Beautifully considered interiors and inviting interiors!
THE ESTATE
The castle and estate was built over 900 years ago and has direct views to the Tyrrhenian Sea, paired with a sea breeze. The extensive estate provides many different walking trails through the vegetable farm onto the spa area with many different scenic views and photo opportunities.
The upstairs dining room feels like a conservatorium with antiques that are sourced from all over the world. Rustic stone flooring and rich buttery velvet curtains with a direct view into the kitchen - a central long conversational table sits in the centre of the space with different furniture pieces and a beautiful view into the long rolling hills.
THE FOOD & DRINKS
The service at the Castello was the stand out here, very attentive staff that made sure that nothing was a problem and were extremely lovely and welcoming.
The food overall was excellent, you can tell that the chefs take pride in the land providing seasonal produce with a rustic, homely and considered feel.
WINE TASTING & EXPERIENCES
Castello Di Vicarello provide cooking classes and wine tasting experiences showcasing their wine.
We were lucky enough to try the wine tasting complete with cheese and meat pairings.
There is nothing like sipping the estates wine and understanding the philosophy, eating the food it’s paired with and hearing the wine maker talk with such passion about the process. Really beautiful.
