High on a hilltop in Tuscany’s unspoiled Maremma region, the meticulously restored 14th century Castello di Segalari offers an authentic taste of Italy.
An aristocratic castle steeped in history, today Castello di Segalari’s ancient ramparts and stone walls conceal chic contemporary interiors, effortlessly combining original period features with modern luxury. A perfect setting for families and friends in search of a memorable holiday rental.
South of Florence and Siena, Maremma has managed to remain under the tourist radar. Its
beautiful, untamed countryside is dotted with ancient hilltop villages framed by cypress and
olive trees.
Even in the warmth of summer, the area is lush and green. Towards the coast, sweeping plains
have been farmed since Etruscan times, the castle's semi-private beach is mostly untouched,
remaining relatively uncrowded even in high season. Castello di Segalari’s semi-private beach
and newly refurbished beach hut can be enjoyed just ten minutes’ drive from the castle.
Castello di Segalari is well positioned for those in search of seclusion, while remaining within
easy reach of the region’s many attractions. Pisa (the closest international airport) lies just
40 minutes away, while Florence and Siena are around an hour and a half by car.
Closer to the castle, traditional Tuscan towns and villages are spread across the landscape of
ancient olive groves and rolling vineyards. Within an hour’s drive of the castle lie treasures
such as Massa Marittima and its spectacular cathedral square; ancient Volterra is known for its
artisanal heritage and alabaster carvings, while San Gigmignano is home to 14 medieval towers.
The cuisine here celebrates seasonal ingredients and the region’s diverse landscapes. From the
forests come rich game dishes, while the coast is a bounty for seafood. Chance upon a village
restaurant and you’ll experience the taste of Maremma, such as the family-run La Pineta, with
its warm welcome and dishes including spaghetti alle vongole veraci.
The castle is located in the middle of the sought-after ‘Super Tuscans’ offering velvety,
full-bodied red wines. Only ten minutes from Castello di Segalari, the epicentre of the region's
wine making, Bolgheri is home to iconic, collector favourites such as Sassicaia, Ornellaia and
Masseto.
Castello di Segalari is a privately-owned home belonging to an internationally-renowned hotel family. The result is five-star level service, attention to detail and staff on hand, making a stay here a very special experience.
