Castel Porrona Relais & Spa
Medieval noble elegance meets warm Tuscan rustic. Think exposed wooden beams, terracotta, coordinated tapestry fabrics, antique furnishings, and the occasional four-poster bed — plus a Moroccan-themed spa that somehow fits perfectly.
Book an Executive Suite for the double spa tub — worth the upgrade for a honeymoon or anniversary
Why It Matters
You are sleeping inside an actual working medieval village. Not a converted farmhouse, not a turreted folly — a full borgo where a handful of local residents still live. The castle can be rented entirely as a private residence with five suites, butler, and chef. The Agua Spa's 'wine therapy' baths use Brunello-region wines and local olive oils. There is nothing quite like it in the Maremma.
A 12th-century medieval borgo turned 5-star boutique hotel in the hills of Tuscan Maremma. The village of Porrona spent five centuries as property of two great Sienese noble families — the Tolomei and the Piccolomini — before passing to French aristocracy in 1894. Today its stone buildings, terraces, and squares have been restored into 25 individually designed rooms, suites, and apartments, all inside the original medieval complex. The centrepiece is the rentable castle itself, complete with butler, personal chef, and a panoramic tower.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Classic Double Room
Spacious-for-a-castle double rooms ranging 20–26 sqm, each one different from the next. Decorated in Tuscan style with antique materials and fine fabrics. Each has its own distinctive colour palette — light grey, violet, or deep blue. All have modern amenities including air conditioning, minibar, flat-screen TV, and free WiFi.
23 sqm
Deluxe Room
28–32 sqm rooms packed with character. Sumptuous coordinated fabric wall coverings, exposed wooden beams, and dedicated relaxation corners set these apart from the standard rooms. Some have views directly over the borgo's main square; others look out over the wider medieval village. Select rooms have showers with hydrotherapy jets.
30 sqm
Executive Suite
The property's most romantic room tier at 40–50 sqm. Every detail is Tuscan rustic at its most refined — antique woods, terracotta, artisan textiles. Doubles spa tubs are standard, along with a separate living room. Some have four-poster beds, some have mezzanines, and many enjoy panoramic countryside views. Marketed especially to honeymoon and anniversary couples.
45 sqmJunior Suite
Elegant spaces of 32–44 sqm with a separate bedroom and sitting area. The decoration evokes the atmosphere of a Tuscan villa — think panoramic hill views or a window onto the narrow village lanes below. Generous layouts make these a good pick for longer stays.
38 sqmOne-Bedroom Apartment
Self-contained apartment with a king bedroom, a single room, bathroom, kitchen, and a spacious living room with sofa bed. Decorated in light grey and blue tones — understated and elegant. Can accommodate up to 3 guests and suits families or longer-stay guests wanting more independence.
Suite
30–40 sqm suites, each one unique in layout, finishes, and colour scheme. Pure rustic Tuscan elegance: wooden beams, custom trim, and some with sweeping panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. Each suite has its own distinct personality.
35 sqm
The Castle (Exclusive Use)
