Carlo's Hotel

Tucked into the sunlit hills of Castagneto Carducci, a short drive from famed Tuscan wineries and the coast. Minutes from Tenuta di Vaira and Azienda Agricola Fornacelle, and within easy reach of Ca'Marcanda, Ornellaia and Bibbona Beach. A family-friendly, pet-friendly small hotel that puts wine country and seaside escapes on your doorstep.

This intimate hotel has just 16 rooms equipped with minibars, flat-screen TVs, air conditioning and in-room safes. Bathrooms feature showers and bidets, and rooms offer blackout drapes and daily housekeeping. Expect simple, relaxed vibes with garden and pool views that make it a handy base for winery hopping or beach days.

Recharge in the sauna, hit the fitness center/health club, or cool off in the seasonal outdoor pool — an indoor pool is also available. There’s a garden to stroll, a bar/lounge for evening drinks and room service when you want to keep it low-key. Free self-parking onsite and tour/ticket assistance make day trips easy.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property, luggage storage, a safe-deposit box at the front desk and an elevator. Free self-parking onsite.

Grab espresso and light bites at the hotel coffee shop/café, enjoy a drink at the bar/lounge, or order in with room service. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM. With so many nearby wineries, it’s easy to follow hotel mornings with authentic Tuscan tastings and regional meals.
