When you imagine a Tuscan castle, chances are it looks a lot like Castello di San Bartolomeo. A sweeping hilltop drive lined with perfectly spaced cypress trees, early-Renaissance architecture softened by time, and panoramic views over the rolling countryside—this is classic Tuscany at its most evocative. And best of all? It’s all yours.
This majestic, 14th-century castle features eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms, and is available for exclusive hire for up to 16 guests. Every room exudes timeless grandeur—from the regal sitting areas to the spacious grand kitchen framed by a striking classical arch, perfect for relaxed dinners with friends.
Fully restored in 2018, the 2,500 sqm estate now balances its historic charm with modern luxuries, including a private gym, sauna, and tennis courts. The newly renovated kidney-shaped pool glistens in the sun, offering a refreshing retreat amidst the castle’s historic surroundings.
Set in the heart of the Orcia Valley, the castle is surrounded by landscapes so picturesque they’ve inspired Renaissance painters for centuries. At sunset, the golden light on the stone façade is nothing short of breathtaking—like stepping into a living canvas.
But perhaps the castle’s finest feature is its wine. Located in Sangiovese country, the estate spans over 700 hectares, including its own DOCG vineyards. Guests can enjoy private wine tastings on the terrace, guided by the estate’s expert winemaker. Delizioso.
