Castle holiday rentals in Tyrrhenian Sea

I am so glad that we decided to stay in Vico Equense and that we chose to stay at Maria's airbnb. Vico Equense is the perfect spot for a relaxing holiday with plenty to do close by and a very short amount of travelling required by car or train to access the larger tourist destinations. The airbnb itself is really impressive - the castle is stunning and the apartment itself has everything you need. The shared communal spaces outside couldn't really be better, we visited in May so didn't have access to the beach (but there are plenty of options nearby) but the pool was great and not too cold to swim in, and the terraces were great for relaxing and sun lounging. Honestly it is hard to find a fault with the airbnb or Vico Equense itself, it was a great holiday destination and we will definitely come back.

The time spent in Querceto was just marvellous; the village is unique and the apartments are respecting the original architecture. Anna and the whole service team have always been kind and available and most of all....always with a smile on their faces ( even when I needed help for my son who knocked hisself inside the bathroom......🤦‍♂️) ! So definitely recommended!

Hands down the best AirBB I’ve rented. Three times now actually. That’s how much I love it! It’s a beautiful two level place with a kitchen just the right size for small meals at home. The bedrooms have an open design and are bright and cheerful. There are two closets and a small dresser. Plenty of space to put clothes away and keep the rooms tidy. The balcony is my favorite part of this rental. It’s the perfect for looking at the ocean or the charming town. Just a short walk from the castle, you will find many places to eat, shops to visit and views that will hold you there for a while…and may just make you late for your dinner reservation. That’s ok, though. Everything is a little slower in Italy. Savor the views. The only thing better than the magic of this beautiful place is the hospitality and kindness of Mary. You won’t find a host better than her. I’m already planning my next trip and can’t wait to be back!

Loved Castello delle Serre! We stayed in the separate apartments and it was great for our family of 5. The setting is wonderful in the tiny, peaceful town of Serre di Rapolano - not touristy at all, we felt like we were in the heart of a local village (which we were!). It’s a great base to explore the surrounding countryside - we visited Siena, Pienza, Montepulciano and Firenze (but you need a car of your own). And then coming home at the end of the day to the pool was delightful. Kaci and Antonio are wonderful hosts, full of great suggestions. Can’t say enough about them and their place!

Beautiful, unique location. We were there for the yearly festival which was so fun to watch. We watched fireworks from the roof which was so much fun. There were breathtaking views everywhere. And we tried to make friends with all the local kitties at the cat sanctuary. Our ONLY complaint was that the apartment was HOT!!! The fans were super helpful but it was uncomfortably hot. Not honestly, even knowing that, we would stay here again!

Our stay at this medieval castle was truly unforgettable. The hosts were exceptionally welcoming and went above and beyond to help us when our car had mechanical issues. The back terrace offered breathtaking views, and the serenity of the location made it the perfect retreat, far from any hustle and bustle. The beds were super comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. Living in a medieval castle was an incomparable experience, and we loved the friendly visits from Pepita, the dog. The only minor inconvenience was the limited hot water supply for six people, but it didn't overshadow our wonderful stay. Highly recommended!

Lorenzo’s beautiful home tucked away in this pretty valley is a little piece of paradise! The property was no problem to find with Lorenzo’s directions and the self check-in was easy. The space was spotless and tastefully decorated — the pictures only tell half the story! It seemed like around every corner around the property, there was another thoughtful, pretty sitting area to enjoy the view, a meal or a quiet moment. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen equipped with everything you need. The location is a bit off the beaten path yet only an hour from the sea or Sienna and an hour and a half from Florence, perfect for exploring the region some days and just enjoying to house and gardens on others. The nearby village has a small but well-stocked grocery store, a nice little bar for aperitivo on the village square and a couple of very good restaurants that cater to the locals — we felt very much at home there immediately! Thank you, Lorenzo, for such a wonderful experience under the Tuscan sun!

Our family had the dreamiest stay at Alessandro’s. We had a large family of 12 and had plenty of place to sleep with plenty of bathrooms. About a 20 minute taxi ride from the main siena center. We also had our own private pool which was a short walk through the olive trees. We enjoyed the wine from the property, cooking class with Stacey, and enjoyed a wonderful private dinner in the outdoor courtyard. Laura was also very responsive to anything we needed during our stay. Our family had the most memorable stay! Would 10/10 recommend staying here.

Karin was the best host! Not only took she care of the arrival of friends of mine who came in the middle of the night on a sunday but she also helped us to organize a vet when my dog got sick. She always reacted immediately when I texted her, gave us good recommendations about restaurants (in the area as well as in Perugia) and organized an amazing cooking class for us. We really felt like we were at home and the athmosphere at the house, the beautiful park and pool area was so relaxing. As soon as one enters this house it feels like you are in another world and you can just forget your everyday life. Thank you so much for everything Karin, we will be back!!

Wow! What an incredible property. We loved our time staying at ‘the tower’. It is a beautiful setting among the olives and vines on a hilltop. The surrounding area is beautiful and it’s an easy walk to local vineyards and restaurants. Only one caveat: the WiFi is very weak and not suitable for video calls.

Excellent host, the place is amazing and very clean. Big house, big yard, excellent for big groups as we were. The host left us big speaker, some wine, COFFEE that i hardly appreciate , etc. I recommended!

We really enjoyed Castello di Montegiove. Rikke welcomed us well and kindly and showed us around. It was wonderfully quiet on the grounds. The apartment was perfect for 2 people. We were given the tour of the castle and the wine tasting by Rebecca, who told us everything in a fun and enthusiastic way. We therefore definitely recommend the wine tasting if you are staying there! Beautiful castle and a beautiful environment.

The place exactly matches the photos. It was and is very clean and tidy. The pool is large and very well maintained, like the entire complex. Absolutely recommended, we are very glad we were able to spend our vacation here. I can only agree with all the positive reviews!

What a gorgeous place with a gorgeous view. We wondered if there would be a catch, given the price. Not all rooms are in great condition because there is some older furniture and plumbing. I don't think that's unreasonable for this price and the location with the view makes it good.

Jean Luc’s place was my best AirBnB stay ever! Jean Luc, his son, and the dog welcomed us with drinks, smile, and warmth. The renovated castle lived up to the modern version of staying in a real castle that has both comfort and nobility. It’s a must stay if you could be in the area!

This was an incredible place with a beautiful view. Really perfect and exactly what we were looking for. There was also the added bonus of a concierge, Alessandra, who helped us organize transit to and from the airport, car rental, took a grocery order for us so we’d arrive to a stocked kitchen, and organized tour with a guide for us. Alessandra was excellent and incredibly attentive. She definitely made this a unique and exceptional Airbnb experience that really exemplified hospitality.

The accommodation is very cozy, it feels very good, the terrace between the bedrooms and the kitchen is shaded surrounded by bamboo perfect for meals and relaxing. Jean Marc is about welcoming you and immediately making you feel at ease. A very human and discreet person who makes everything available to make sure we have a great stay. The pool is 10m well maintained perfect for swimming and sunbeds for relaxing. Lots of walks and beautiful villages under 30min away.

Beautiful villa surrounded by vineyards and countryside. The nearby village of Panzano is so picturesque with lovely restaurants. I can also recommend visiting other Chianti towns and especially the market on a Saturday in Greve. The hosts Filippo and his father Carlo couldn't do enough for us and the communication was superb. The villa is so spacious and makes you feel right at home with comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and a garden with a pool that's just the icing on the cake. It was very warm during our visit and the fans provided were very welcomed. Every room is also equipped with mosquito nets on the windows. We made use of the large BBQ a few nights and also had a lovely wine tasting one evening which I can highly recommend. We were very sad to leave Villa Reggine and hope to return one day. Grazie!

Great place to stay.Beautiful scenery and ambience.Felt like I was living like a local and got an authentic experience of being secluded in an Italian countryside.Great experience to see the old charm of seein how a noble lived in a castle and beautiful architecture.Very classic, luxury, elegant feel.Alex and his Mom and Dad were very welcoming, friendly people.Very nice of them to let us experience their beautiful home.Always responsive to any of our needs.Thanks again, much appreciated and would highly recommend.

We fully agree with the previous positive references. Gianluca and Rita are extremely lovely hosts. The old dog Astrid also patiently took in our dog Yeshi. We enjoyed a fantastic panoramic view with sunrise and sunset from the well-kept apartment on the second floor. The villa itself is a charming, interesting building, reminiscent of a small castle. We enjoyed a fantastic panoramic view from the apartment on the second floor with sunrise and sunset. We spent wonderful carefree holidays.

Well worth the side trip out to the countryside. Truly a memorable place with lots to explore. Highly, highly recommend! Can not wait to go back.

We had a wonderful eight days at Maria Gabriella's B&B. She was very helpful in suggesting sites to visit and restaurants. Overall, a great experience.

Great accommodation, Gianluca and Rita were the best hosts ever! We felt as if we were on holiday at an Italian grandma's house. We arrived without car and Gianluca offered a lift to Villa Alba or to Rodi (if you want to explore Gargano, do have a car!). Gianluca enabled us to check-in earlier and provided everything we needed. He even prepared dinner the first evening for all the guests! We had the Deluxe Apartment which was really spacious, 2 bedrooms, we especially loved the big terace - shaded from the sun with views into the gardens around with citrus and fruit trees, hills covered by forest and the sea. Villa Alba was a great place to observe wildlife, there was a lot of birds around (we have seen hoopoe and golden oriole from the terace!), butterflies, on our walks we have seen a lot of lizzards, gecos, rare insects and even a garden dormouse. Long sandy beach is only cca 300m downhill, with gradual entry into the sea. The price (early booking) was great. Highly recommended!

very, very good hospitality...very smiling and accommodating. nte...the building is superb and the accommodation in good general condition with a huge terrace with sea view is very nice ...an area for the barbecue is provided. Our host was very kind to us...the accommodation is very clean ...small downside the access not very convenient very good stay thank you to our hostess 😄
