How you can #TravelKindly:
Castello di Vicarello as a castle-hotel is 25 years in the making and is independently owned and managed by the multi-generational Baccheschi-Berti family.
During the 1980s, Carlo and Aurora Baccheschi Berti were living between Bali and Milano, working in fashion, textiles, and furniture.
When they first saw the ruins of Castello di Vicarello, they brought themselves and their three young boys to Tuscany’s largely unknown region of Maremma to start a new adventure together.
The initial restoration of the castle took over 12 years to complete, and further restoration continues to this day.
