The Private Room

Our original red wine cellar has become a private, cosseting space to enjoy with family or groups of friends of up to six people. Set beneath soaring ceilings, this large room includes a crackling fireplace, two “conversation” baths, two massage beds, a soft and welcoming daybed and a well-equipped tea kitchen and juice bar. Adjacent is a private changing room and steam shower.

Down a couple of worn, stone steps is an ancient cave carved out of the solid rock, transformed into a tepidarium - a warm space inspired by the ancient Romans, and the perfect place to relax, stretch and limber up before a tailor-made treatment.

Grand Rooms

Situated within the heart of the castle, these rooms are grand and spacious. Purposefully designed to encourage guests to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of being within their room.

Suites Castello

Bespoke furniture - the smooth marble and wood bar, say, or a brass and marble washstand - mix merrily with hand-picked antiques, giving each suite a distinct character. Intriguing touches, such as old photographs and ornaments discovered in local antique markets, reflect the eccentric characters who once lived here.

Sunk like a glimmering optical illusion into the verdant lawns is our incredible outdoor pool. Located just outside the castle walls - and mirroring the historic, time-worn ramparts - the water gently overflows the stone rim of the pool to the grass at its edge, while tall umbrella pines provide balmy shade. Showers and changing rooms are available beneath the deck of the adjacent Il Torrino, and another pool-side deck offers a perfect front-row seat to the water. Leafy niches between the trees and around the gardens, meanwhile, offer more secluded spaces for families or couples.
