Castello di Vicarello

Castello di Vicarello

Hidden deep in the Tuscan countryside, Castello di Vicarello feels more like an exclusive private home than a hotel, with just a handful of suites spread throughout a beautifully restored medieval castle. Still family-owned by the Baccheschi Berti family, the intimate estate blends wellness, wine, and nature in a deeply personal way.

The secluded Spa Suite is a standout, featuring a private sauna, steam room, and an outdoor oak-barrel jacuzzi overlooking the rolling Maremma hills. Guests can spend their days indulging in bespoke spa rituals, tasting the estate's organic wines, relaxing by the infinity pools, or lingering over long farm-to-table dinners beneath the Tuscan sky.

In the fall, truffle-hunting excursions through the surrounding forests add another layer to the experience, making Vicarello one of Tuscany's most magical wellness escapes for 2026.

Les Sources de Caudalie

Les Sources de Caudalie

Les Sources de Caudalie is one of Bordeaux's most iconic wine-and-wellness retreats. Set among the vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, the hotel was created by the owners of the neighboring winery together with Mathilde Thomas, founder of the Caudalie skincare brand, giving the property a deeply personal connection to both beauty and wine culture.

Guests can unwind with the hotel's signature Vinothérapie treatments, which harness the antioxidant-rich properties of grape extracts and vine resveratrol, before spending evenings discovering exceptional Bordeaux wines by the fireplace. Dining is equally memorable at the hotel's two-Michelin-starred restaurant, La Grand’ Vigne, where refined seasonal cuisine showcases the best of the region, perfectly paired with wines from the surrounding vineyards.

Cozy suites, candlelit spa rituals, and vineyard views create an atmosphere that feels elegant and intimate rather than overly formal, making it one of France's most enchanting wine-country escapes.

Forestis

Forestis

Perched high in the Dolomites, Forestis offers a quieter, more spiritual approach to luxury wellness. Built on a mountainside once chosen by the Habsburg royal family for its exceptionally pure air and natural spring water, the adults-only retreat is designed around silence, nature, and deep restoration. Minimalist suites open onto breathtaking alpine panoramas, inviting the surrounding landscape indoors.

At the heart of the property is the 2,000-square-meter Forest Spa, where indoor and outdoor pools, panoramic saunas, steam baths, silence rooms, and Wyda movement sessions are all inspired by the rhythms of the mountains. Signature treatments draw on the healing properties of local woods, alpine herbs, mountain spring water, and the four native trees of the Dolomites, creating deeply restorative experiences rooted in the surrounding forest.

Wine also plays a central role in the experience, with an impressive cellar showcasing South Tyrolean vintages alongside seasonal alpine cuisine that celebrates local ingredients and the changing mountain landscape.
