Castello di Vicarello

Rialto is a Virtuoso agency and can provide VIP access and offers.

Journey through the ages at Castello di Vicarello, a 12th-century castle-turned-hotel surrounded by nearly 100 acres of organic vineyards and olive groves. Each of the ten uniquely decked-out suites tells a story, from the mélange of antique and modern furniture to the Indonesian-inspired decor. And menus are filled with rustic flavors and fresh-from-the-farm ingredients. When it’s time to unwind (as it often is in the Tuscan countryside) head to the spa, the pools, or reserve a private yoga session overlooking the picturesque Maremma region.

In the hotel’s own words

Castello di Vicarello, listed as one of the world’s best hotels in Conde Nast Traveller’s 2019 Gold List, is a 12th-century luxury castle hotel nestled in the untouched region of Maremma, Tuscany with sweeping views over rolling hills towards the Tyrrhenian Sea — positioned halfway between Rome and Florence. Thoughtful and personalized service attracts discerning travelers looking for an authentic Tuscan experience. Castello di Vicarello offers a choice of ten creatively appointed, design-focused suites, two swimming pools (one set amongst an olive grove; the other perched on a mountain side with breathtaking views), two organic kitchen gardens, and exquisite terraces surrounded by 40 hectares of vineyards and olive groves — where guests can also experience massage treatments set in pure Tuscan nature. The characterful yet contemporary design, family-run castle retreat captures the charm of a bygone era, yet with modern influences exuding a luxurious, yet home-from-home feel. The head chef and team create wholesome Italian cuisine, using generations-old recipes and ingredients from organic gardens and local farmers' produce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
