The keys to the Castel are yours…
It’s rare to find a place that’s both historic and one-of-a-kind. We’ve managed to do it and it will be your home for eight glorious days. The castle was built on the remains of an ancient fortress (dating back to the Gothic wars 535 – 553) and sits atop Serre di Rapolano, an unspoiled Tuscan village.
The façade of the castle is pure travertine quarried locally and decorated with ornate iron works. The interior and grand halls and noble rooms have been painstakingly restored and decorated in heraldic motives while the vaulted rooms are decorated with angelic themes and virtues. It will literally take your breath away.
The castle consists of 20 double rooms (3 of which we have allocated for single use). There is a mix of Grand Suites, Junior Suites, Deluxe Doubles and Standard Rooms. The design theory at Castello delle Serre is based on devotion to preservation of the grandiose past with a tasteful infusion of modern comforts. All accommodations offer over-sized private bathrooms, finished in fine Italian marble or travertine stone. All accommodations offer air conditioning, hair dryer, free high-speed internet, telephone for external calls and daily maid service.
The castle boasts a spectacular pool area overlooking the Tuscan hills with numerous designer sun lounges. You’ll be spoilt for places to relax as next to the pool is the alfresco-loggia featuring a bar and stone tables with wrought iron chairs. Also, perched next to the pool area, is an intimate gazebo bordered by white marble columns wrapped in wisteria vine, with an outdoor sofa and chairs.
The hotel runs a fully stocked “honour bar” system but on non-function nights also welcomes you to enjoy your own drinks in the outdoor areas (just no glassware near the pool please).
It’s all about location, location, location…
Not only is this hotel beautiful, its located on Rome’s “gay” street AND it’s only 100 metres to the Colosseum! Could it be any more perfect? Well, just when you thought it couldn’t get any better it also has a stunning rooftop pool and terrace looking straight over you know where. Picture yourself here, working on your tan, getting over your jetlag, with an Aperol Spritz in hand!
We have booked 20 superior double rooms at this unique hotel which will form the perfect base for our adventures together. There is no better location for a stay in the capital. Within easy walking distance is the ancient Roman Forum, Piazza Venezia, Trajan’s markets and many other historical sites. The Colosseum metro station is also a short 5 minute walk away for those of you would like to explore further afield.
And for our grand finalé, we give you unadulterated luxury…
From the moment your water taxi pulls up you’ll know you made the right choice to finish your adventure here. This restored flour mill has had a glamour makeover.
From the welcoming foyer to the stylish and sophisticated rooms you’ll soon feel right at home.
After you’ve checked in, grab your swimmers and take the elevator to the top floor. Prepare to be blown away by the breathtaking views that await you from the highest rooftop bar in the city. Grab a sun lounge, work on your tan as we wait for the “day tourists” to leave the historical centre so we can head into the centre and avoid the crowds.
Of course, you could always indulge in some spa treatments – the hotel’s spa is the largest in the city. Pamper yourself with a range of revitalising treatments, ensuring a blissful and tranquil end to your Italian adventure.
Breakfast is also a highlight here so make sure you allow yourself enough time in the mornings to feast on their culinary delights and prepare yourself for the day ahead.
What a fantastic way to finish an incredible 12 days together. Immerse yourself in luxury, revel in breathtaking views and get ready to live la dolce vita!
