This hotel, or castle, is fabulous, primarily a conference venue and banqueting centre it has 7 suites all apparently unique. All I can vouch for is that ours was fantastic. The castle has been lovingly restored and is very impressive as you drive up to it and park in front of its imposing walls (ample secure parking). From the moment you open the car door however, you are met with hospitality by a very friendly and efficient staff. Our room was perfect, large and decorated with antique furniture and wall frescoes. The floors are wooden with lovely rugs and there was a wealth of local tourist information provided for us in the room. A lovely comfortable bed (one of the nicest we have slept in) and very good air conditioning made for a wonderful nights sleep. There is a large flat screen satellite TV which had BBC world available for us English speakers. Wi-Fi was free and extended to all areas of the castle including the rooms. The bathroom is large and modern but does not take away from the antique feel of the room. Our suite had a spa bath (and shower) big enough for two ! There was a nice selection of branded toiletries. In keeping with most Italian hotels there were no tea / coffee facilities and no travel iron /board, however there was a well stocked minibar at reasonable prices. The castle was incredible and we were allowed to wander around the entire place at our leisure enjoying the antiques and the special feel of the place. Guests have access to a splendid and large terrace garden which is a pure delight. We ate in the restaurant, which is delightfully part of the old kitchen or armoury and very nicely decorated in keeping with the medieval feel of the place. The service and food, however, was far from medieval. The staff were great, the food was magical and set at a reasonable price as were the wines which came from an extensive list and accompanied by a very helpful and knowledgable Maitre D. Breakfast was traditionally Italian and good quality, although the choice was a bit limited. This is a fantastic hotel within easy reach of Verona and Padua and I would recommend it to anyone – we were only disappointed we had only booked one night.
