Excellent 5 /5Fanatastic, highly recommended!
Staff were great, especially the lovely German lady (I am sorry I didn't ask her name) who was always at the restaurant or bar - I am not sure when she slept!
I read a few unfavourable reviews online before going, but they all seem to be focused on lack of maid service. This is a self catering property rather than a hotel - I wouldn't expect maid service.
There are also some reviewer's photos showing the pool a dirty green colour - they are winter photos when the pool is closed. In summer the pool is blue and crystal clear with a good number of quality loungers and chairs.
It is a very interesting property with lots of narrow winding staircases leading to unusual and unique guest rooms. Rooms are converted from the castle state rooms (grand drawing rooms with beautiful artwork on the ceilings), servant quarters (romantic attics with hidden balconies) and stables (spacious family apartments). There are stunning views from the pool, restaurant and some rooms.
We were in Montegufoni 31 - a great 3 bedroom apartment in the stable block. As I would expect it had more of a rustic cottage feel compared to some of the signature rooms in the main castle but very spacious, clean and well furnished. Perfect for our family.
There was a wedding while we were there. A little inconvenient as the restaurant was closed for a night and the pool got a bit crowded a couple of times when a lot of the wedding guests congregated there. It was worth it though because they decorated the courtyard and gardens with fairy lights which were really enchanting.Conseilleriez-vous ce logement à un ami? Oui
