Castles & Manors

England, France and Italy all have histories that go back for centuries, from prehistoric eras to the days of marauding hordes making their way across Europe to the Enlightenment, the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution and modern times. A stay in a holiday castle rental puts you in touch with a long-bygone day and a heritage that far precedes our time.

Castles were a status symbol for royalty and the gentry even before medieval times, and manors from the Elizabethan era on were on a similar scale for aristocrats of the time. Treat yourself to a stay in a stately castle or elegant estate, with all it has to offer.

Castello di Vicarello, nestled onto the Maremma Hillside, is a truly outstanding retreat and home to an organic farm that produces red wine and olive oil, with a spectacular view of rolling hills and the Tuscan countryside. There’s room for 14 guests in seven individually-restored double rooms and suites, and a range of niceties that includes spa treatments, massage, yoga sessions, a sauna, wine tastings and cookery classes. You can take a dip in the pool, relax in the outdoor tub as you enjoy a view of the valley or venture out for hiking, cycling, horseback riding and even a boar hunt (when in season). Castello di Vicarello is a jewel of Tuscany, and your stay there will be unforgettable.

Puissalicon, France is home to Four a’ Pain, an elegant holiday rental that’s actually a four-bedroom private home. This stylish, chic destination is a contrast to the historical villa that’s nearby on the property, and splits the old and the new in its design. Antique chandeliers and a big fireplace decorate the large kitchen and living area, and floor-to-ceiling bay windows offer a great view of the countryside. There’s an outdoor terrace and garden, perfect for socialising and entertaining, and guests can take advantage of Four a’ Pain’s spa, infinity pool, hotel restaurant and bar. Relax and recharge at this splendid French chateau.

Crossbasket Castle has quite a story. This 17th-century manor had fallen into disrepair and was restored in 2011, and has gone on to be recognised with the Best Newcomer or Back on the Scene Award from Conde Nast. Visitors to this historic castle in High Blantyre will love the quiet dignity of the study, the sumptuous bedrooms (with room for 18 guests), the restaurant and the range of outdoor activities, including golf, fishing and hikes through a nearby park.

In the middle of the countryside of Suffolk sits Sibton Manor House, a restored Georgian manor that delivers modern-day comfort in traditional English style. Inside Sibton Manor House you’ll find a gym, wi-fi, three dining spaces, open fires, a cinema and room for up to 24 guests. Outside, there’s organized scavenger hunts, tennis, archery lessons, paddle boarding and much more to keep even the most restless vacationer occupied. It’s where the old meets the new; as traditional as Sibton is in many ways, formal wear is not required.
