Perched on a hill overlooking the Tuscan countryside, this 500-year-old Italian castle is kitted out for huge group gatherings, celebrations, and luxurious family get-togethers. It's in the middle of a sprawling estate, flanked by olive trees and grapevines, yet it's only one kilometre from Venturina Terme, so you're not completely out in the sticks. When you’re not lounging on the beaches of San Vincenzo, a ten-minute drive away, there's a private pool and Jacuzzi to cool off in, and the gorgeous patios and lawns can be transformed into the perfect Tuscan wedding venue. Period furniture and oak-panelled walls lined with oil portraits make it feel as though this place hasn't changed since the Grand Duke of Tuscany called it home.

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.

This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
