In 2025, Castello di Vicarello—12th-century castle nestled in the wild countryside of Tuscany’s Maremma—unveiled Villa La Vedetta, the estate’s first standalone villa, sensitively transformed from the castle’s historic watchtower into a refined two-bedroom private retreat.
A long-held dream of the Baccheschi Berti family, the transformation of the former watchtower brought together the finest local artisans to craft this unique jewel. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to reflect the same passion, techniques and craftsmanship that have defined Vicarello over the years.
Spanning 210 square meters across four elegantly appointed floors, Villa La Vedetta offers uninterrupted views of the castle and surrounding vineyards. The villa features two spacious suites with marble-clad ensuite bathrooms, each with freestanding copper bathtubs and distinctive checkered marble floors. The open-plan ground floor includes a grand fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen that opens onto a private garden—ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.
Outside, the villa offers 450 square meters of secluded gardens, a heated private swimming pool and a rooftop terrace perfect for sunset views. Guests can also enjoy optional in-villa chef services as well as full access to the estate’s award-winning facilities and curated experiences.
Blending the intimacy of a private home with the luxury of a boutique hotel, Villa La Vedetta delivers an exclusive and immersive escape—an elegant extension of Castello di Vicarello’s celebrated hospitality.
