Noble Architecture

Ancient Fortresses, Private Hamlets & Contemporary Luxury

Properties like Castello di Vicarello and Dimora del Ghirlandaio represent the pinnacle of architectural heritage. Built originally between the 11th and 15th centuries, these noble fortresses have been thoughtfully restored to preserve their historic stone towers and courtyard loggias while integrating heated infinity pools, spa facilities, and marble bathrooms.

Renting an entire historic castle or private borgo provides complete seclusion for your party. Walk ancient stone ramparts, dine in vaulted frescoed salons, and enjoy dedicated estate staffing including residential butlers, private drivers, and estate managers.
