Sammezzano Castle looks like it’s been plucked straight out of North Africa thanks to its thousands of brightly coloured tiles. The colossal Tuscan manse was built by an Italian marquis in the mid-1800s and operated as a hotel for decades before closing to the public in the 1990s. Since then it’s changed hands a few times but is awaiting a new owner to unleash its potential. Explore its dazzling rooms.
