The hotels that most surprised our clients in 2025
The most famous hotel isn't always the most memorable. Curation is knowing when to stray from the obvious — and what you'll find when you do.
Throughout 2025, our team accompanied clients across more than 30 destinations. Some hotels delivered exactly what they promised. Others went further. These are the properties that surprised us most — not for being the most luxurious, but for making our clients never want to leave.
Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa — Saint-Barth
Set on Grand Cul de Sac bay, far from the bustle of Gustavia. What catches your attention isn't the view — it's the silence, and a team that seems to know every guest's name before you say who you are. A Virtuoso member: upgrades and exclusive benefits reserved through Grossi.
Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco — Tuscany
A 12th-century medieval estate transformed into a resort set within 4,000 hectares of vineyard. The feeling of absolute privacy in the heart of Europe is a rare thing. The rooms are freestanding houses of their own. The winery produces Brunello di Montalcino. And the chef uses everything grown in the hotel's own garden.
UXUA Casa Hotel — Trancoso, Bahia
On Trancoso's historic Quadrado. Each of the houses was built with reclaimed wood and local materials — no two are alike. It's the kind of hotel you realize you'd been searching for all along without knowing it. The saltwater pool and the access to Rio da Barra beach seal the case.
The most famous hotel isn't always the most memorable.
Let Grossi Group take care of the details.
