Castello Di Vicarello

Situated high up in the Tuscan hills lies the Castello Di Vicarello, a 900 year old castle and (slightly younger) vineyard where the wonder of its surroundings dictates the speed of life.

The castle itself has been sympathetically renovated to keep its true beauty whilst adding luxurious elements.

The rooms have a clear Italian influence, while the outdoor pool area and gardens are filled with a tranquil ambience. The food served here is grown and sourced locally, while the relaxing atmosphere is entirely homegrown.

Farm living never looked so chic!

Lupaia is a classic Tuscan farmhouse…with a difference. This high end, gorgeously designed hotel has taken elements of farmhouse chic style and creates some wonderful rooms and apartments that fit the bill perfectly.

As well as being able to sample some classic Tuscan delicacies in the restaurant, you’ll also be able to forage for your own (no, really) as the hotel also has a range of activities including truffle hunting, private cookery classes and wine tasting.

The Residences at Argiano Dimore were originally 16th-century farmhouses but have since been sympathetically converted into a stunning environment.

Aside from the sumptuous rooms, you’ll also find private gardens and a swimming pool to enjoy. Close by, you will find several vineyards to explore as well as the quintessential Tuscan countryside.

Torre a Cona Wine Estate

The most beautiful location among the hotels in Tuscany, with views for miles.

The Florentine hills are home to Torre a Cona, one of the most beautiful vineyard estates you’re likely to find in the region. The hotel itself is a stylishly converted eighteenth-century villa which is set right at the heart of the private grounds and looks over the centuries-old vineyard.

The interiors have kept the hotel's heritage whilst adding opulent additions for the ultimate comfort. On site, you will find plenty to do, from wine tours to excursions, but the jewel in the Torre a Cona’s crown has to be their Lemon House restaurant.

Privacy is a top priority at Il Salviatino.

Il Salviatino may only be small (well, by Tuscany’s hotels standards) with just 40 rooms and suites, but what sets this hotel apart is the attention to detail and wealth of facilities.

The staff’s aim is to make it feel as though you are in your own private Tuscan villa, and they do not disappoint. Nothing is too much trouble at the Il Saviatino.

As well as exquisitely decorated rooms, you will also find terraced gardens to explore, a swimming pool with a sun terrace, a spa offering treatments and lots of additional activities, including excursions to nearby vineyards.

Three restaurants are located on the ground including the Michelin-starred La Torre, which draws its ingredients from its own vegetable garden, vineyard, olive groves and beehives.
