A 100-acre estate deep in the Maremma, southern Tuscany, is where this toweringly tall castle with cool cobblestones and four-poster beds was restored in the 1970s and converted into a hotel. Suites hold antiques, Aesop toiletries, and no TVs; days go to truffle hunting, leather workshops, and a vintage Fiat 500 around the Ombrone Valley. Resident dog Uva leads guests to reception.

8:16 AM
It's hard to beat breakfast in bed, but bread, cakes and cheese (pecorino to be exact) on your private terrace might inch it; everything is made with goods from the estate.
10:12 AM
Tour the Tuscan roads in a vintage Fiat 500 and take in wildly wonderful scenes of vineyards and olive trees. Stop by Daniel Spoerri's Il Giardino for a dose of contemporary art.
12:30 PM
Head to Antica Fattoria del Grottaione for a homemade feast. Opt for the Il Peposo – stewed beef with pepper and wine – followed by homemade ice cream for dessert, because, Italy.
3:01 PM
There are two beautiful pools, but we love ‘the one with a view’ of the whole estate. Ask for a cocktail (dare we say a spritz) and bring your favourite book.
5:00 PM
The hotel is just like a family home – Aurora, the owner's mother, is known for her cooking and will teach you her Tuscan recipes.
8:30 PM
Restaurant La Terrazza serves the best of Maremma’s dishes. Tuck into homemade pasta and fresh seafood, delicious dessert and local wine – we love a local red.
