Castle dei Lorena, former residence of Tuscan nobility, is located in the heart of Maremma, a piece of Tuscany that, at a glance, seems to remain still in time, with seas of rolling green fields to the west and the breathtaking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the island of Elba to the east. The area that surrounds the Castle is renowned for its wine production; for instance, Sassicaia and Ornellaia, two of the most esteemed wines in the world, are produced just kilometres from the Castle. A few passes from the Castle will take guests to the natural springs of Il Calidario with temperatures at 36 degrees Celsius. A ten-minute drive will take guests to gorgeous beaches along the Tuscan coast. The area is abundant with fine dining, charming medieval towns, wine production, thermal spas, and nature reserves, but one can just as easily go on day excursions to Florence, Siena, the Island of Elba, and Pisa, for instance. Castle dei Lorena is accessed by a cypress-lined lane, which ends at the impressive gates of the front garden with private parking. In this magnificent Castle, guests enjoy all the comforts of modern luxury while sleeping within a historical masterpiece. The grounds include a rose garden, an entrance garden, a swimming pool and a jacuzzi. With 14 bedrooms, the Castle can welcome up to 28 guests. Each of the bedrooms, with decorated ceilings and antique furnishings, include en-suite bathrooms (except one), air conditioning, and satellite television, with professional-quality wifi available throughout the Castle. The Castle, which dates back to the 16th century, is situated perfectly along the Etruscan coast to enjoy the breathtaking panorama of both the Tuscan countryside and the seas beyond.

The Castle is located in the Valtiberina region, a rural valley named after the Tiber River. It is an almost untouched natural area rich in history, being the birthplace of artists such as Piero della Francesca and Michelangelo Buonarroti. The centuries-old stones and original wooden beams have been skillfully integrated with wrought iron frames and accessories, various types of marble, modern colors, and fabrics. During the meticulous restoration, great care was taken to preserve the authenticity of the original materials, while at the same time enriching the structure with contemporary elements. The property, with its three structures -Castle, Church, and House- combines authentic restoration with modern features.
