Halfway between Siena and the Maremma coast, Castello di Vicarello is a fairytale castle turned boutique retreat. Family-run and wonderfully personal, the property has just a few suites, each adorned with antique treasures and curated art. The peaceful surroundings—think olive groves and vineyard-draped hills—make it ideal for honeymoons or digital detoxes.
Highlight: Open-air bathtubs, candlelit dinners, and two idyllic pools surrounded by roses and lavender.
When most people think of winter accommodations, they envision cozy, warm cabins or luxurious ski resorts. However, some of the most unique and unforgettable places to stay in the colder months are ice hotels—built entirely from snow and ice.
