Small minus for the same tasting menu for 2 days in a row at the restaurant.

Simply great. Hidden gem in Abruzzo. Great food, amazing wine, astonishing surroundings, fantastic pool, lovely staff.

It is quite remote and the food options were very limited and over-priced for lunches and dinners. Overall, very disappointed in the food for dinner. Breakfast was good.

The property is STUNNING and the rooms were very comfortable and interesting.

Excellent hospitality and the wine tasting with their products in their original cave was brilliant.

I found mold on the wall

Location and the structure

Stayed in July 2023

We moved into the junior suite which was incredible but it did not have air con or a shower (though the whirlpool bath was impressive!) - a little difficult in July heat but it would be outstanding in slightly more mild temperatures.

The castle was amazing, so many original features and intricately decorated whilst still being clean and comfortable. Very nice toiletries were a lovely touch.

The location is pretty inconvenient, but the hotel was able to help us arrange a car to get to nearest train station (Pescara). There is little do to in the area around the castle, so plan on just chilling on site!

Our stay here was amazing! The staff was so kind and helpful, the castle itself was beautiful, the dinner restaurant was so yummy and convenient, and the breakfast was charming and adequate. We also partook of a wine tasting on site that was super special and tasty! The pool area is also lovely.

One quibble was the noisy tractors nearby starting very early in the morning.

Amazing staff, gardens, breakfast, views, pretty much everything.

Loved everything. So lucky to have been able to experience such a beautiful place, and would love to return some day. The young man in charge was so helpful and we had a wonderful meal in their dining room. Very memorable.

We had some problems with the water in the bathroom that was not solved.. it is also not very comfortable when they have some ceremonies there.. The signs how to enter the place - can be improved…

The gardens and the castle are amazing. The standard room was OK. The breakfast is very good!

As it was the end of the season the possibility of having dinner there, was not possible. Being already in the middle of October it was not viable to provide this service. There is a least a 15minute drive to a restaurant, google maps is quite unreliable when driving around searching for the restaurant at night.

Loved the authenticity of the place. The restoration is impressive, the ambience is fabulous and the view of the vineyards from our room was beautiful. It is worth getting up just before Dawn to watch the sun rise, wander around through the olive trees and through the grape vines. Also make sure you arrive before sunset, as this is stunning here also. It is a romantic place.

Nothing. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

What was there not to like?? Castello Di Semivicoli is the most amazing place to stay. Located high above vineyards and olive groves with mountains in the distance it's stunning. Rooms are unique and beautifully restored, but with modern twists.

Perfect

While people at reception were friendly enough, we seemed to keep getting the same guy taking our food and drink orders both at the pool and the restaurant. He was so distracted by other people (not sure if they were guests or not) that we felt quite overlooked on several occasions. There was no access to a bar inside, which wasn’t too much of a problem - the pool area is lovely. However, I felt second class because we hadn’t booked into the wine tasting. We should have booked ahead, but didn’t think about it too much. I think the good staff were probably busy doing that! I think it would have been a better experience if we had booked that.

The hotel occupies a beautiful position in the mountains and the way it’s been designed as a hotel from a Barron’s palace is lovely. Our room felt luxurious while sympathetic to it’s past too. The golden snails and bees were a lovely touch. They were being installed during our stay. The room where we had breakfast was my favourite. Full of trinkets and curiosities to keep you occupied while you eat. It’s set up for destination weddings and it would be wonderful for that.

Unfortunately we got an apartment on top without any view and sometimes we smell a musty. But we can excuse because of old building.

Very nice hotel. I love the typically furniture, very nice design and decor.

Having been always fans of the Masciarelli wines, especially the Marina Cvetic wine line, Castello di Semivicoli it’s been a destination in our list. Nested in the beautiful hills in the Chieti province, this former baronial castle is lovely, a perfect location for a relaxing, enjoyable stay for wine lovers who also love nature and the comforts and elegance of a place that offers interesting accommodations, art and fantastic views. The staff led by Luce are excellent. The breakfast generous and served in beautiful & quaint areas. The wine tasting room is so inviting with the fantastic and antique wine barrels. The Castello has a great mix of antiques and contemporary art, as are the tasteful suites: enjoyed the bathtub in ours! Dinner was great and of course the wine pairing excellent. Can’t wait to come back to this place we highly recommend to others: Abruzzo has so much to offer! Thank you very much Luce, Alessandro, Stefano and all the staff.

the ceilings in the room were too low, the bathroom is part of the bedroom, the equipment in the gym did not fully function

The venue is spectacular, the breakfast is great, the wine tasting experience was lovely!

More storage in the bedroom would be good but minor point.

Amazing building and location, pool was fab. Friendly staff, rooms were quirky and comfortable. Good breakfast.
