    Very nice ambience, tidy, clean. The breakfast is above average, the staff is very friendly, especially Mrs. Carlota, who is ultra-friendly and will arrange everything you want. I highly recommend the hotel, we will definitely come back. Robert and Nina from Slovenia.

    The most amazing place! The room, the view, the hospitality was one of the best that we've ever experienced. The staff, Mrs. Carlota that greeted us and showed us the place, was an amazing woman. So nice, welcoming and friendly. The place is so so beautiful, so quiet. It feels so calming to your soul and safe. The castle is amazing. Beautiful room, clean, beautiful pool and view. Also the food, breakfast was so tasty and fresh. The waiters as well were very hosting. Also thank you to Mrs. Laura, who together with Mrs. Carlota and the team, helped me plan my proposal to my girlfriend which turned out so so , beautiful and romantic. Also thank you to Mrs. Laura for capturing the amazing moment. Thankful to both of them for arranging the romantic spot, the bouquet and the candle. Many thanks to them and also to the waiter that recently joined their team (apologies for not knowing the name) for his unwavering friendliness and generosity. All of it, was a trip that will be in our memories and we can't wait to be back and hope very much to see the same people again since they were really incredible people. Thank you to everyone and also to the owners/managers of the castle that we haven't met, for having such an incredible place and staff. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Nothing. Everything was perfect.

    The impressive historical architecture, paired with the breathtaking views of the surrounding wilderness created a picturesque dream-like landscape that allows your brain to wonder and make your soul feel at utmost peace. The room itself was grand and felt extremely luxurious. The mattress itself was the best we've ever slept on.

    The restaurant is quite expensive but the food was lovely and the service was great too. Overall I have nothing to complain about!

    Beautiful castle and really lovely staff who made me feel very welcome and well looked after. My room was really big, well equipped, comfortable and smelled great which added to the atmosphere. I had a wonderful time catching some sun by the pool and enjoyed a very peaceful stay. I'd be back without a doubt and only wish I could've stayed longer this time!

    Our stay was wonderful from start to finish. The room was incredibly large, super clean and very cool for the summer with multiple aircons. The entire property itself is tucked away in the hills, with incredible surrounding and the entire castle itself is different and special. Lots of history and character to it. We loved it. The manager and staff were super helpful, as we arrived really late at night. Everything was ready for us and we checked in virtually by sending over our details so we had access to our beautiful room when we arrived. The following day we had a car rental and wine tasting all sorted for us immediately- so this was a super smooth and relaxing stay. Lastly the food for breakfast was just right and delicious and do was the dinner service.

    The only thing I can think of is that the shower if our Deluxe Suite was a little small (compared to the huge size of the rest of the room). We are both tall so it was a bit tight. But that it it!

    Very well kept despite its size with extremely friendly staff and the amazing Carlotta to welcome us!

    Beautiful property. The building is gorgeous. Our room was big and comfortable. The grounds were well kept. Carlotta and the staff were lovely. Carlotta showed us around, talked to us about where to go in the area, and was there if we needed anything. The pool area was nice and peaceful, lovely place to spend some time.

    Great staff and service; the Deluxe Suite (former stables) is most impressive and probably the largest bedroom we have ever stayed in.

    The restaurant had great food and five star service but we recommend it for breakfast rather than dinner given the price. The view however is priceless. The rooms are kept quite simple in terms of decor.

    The people were the nicest! E.g. Carlotta offering us a ride or the girl receiving us offering us to have a drink together! The pool is the best place on a warm day. Delightful.

    Our room was very small (claustrophobic) with a window facing the wall. Shower and toilet super tight. Unfortunately also very noisy. You could hear the neighbors while showering or talking.

    Very nice well-kept castle with nice staff and clean room. The pool area really nice with very comfortable sunbeds. We didn't have breakfast there.
