Castelnuovo di Garfagnana Ariostesca Castle Hotels

"Er zijn geen woorden voor om te omschrijven dat je zo een sprookje binnen wandelt.. het is paradijselijk mooi. Als je iets te vieren hebt, dan is deze locatie perfect geschikt om bij te dragen aan de vreugde! Wij hebben enorm genoten van deze bestemming, van de lieve eigenaren en van de prachtige inrichting van de kamers. Dit moet je eens in je leven meemaken!"

"Beautiful and unique, we had a wonderful stay!!"

"Owner Enrico has been really helpfull and friendly. The Villa is on 4 levels (one for the pool, 3 for the building floors) which gives you more privacy but also makes it harder to stay together if that's what your group wants. 1 restroom for each room is a luxury. However, they they would need some renovations, as wel as the kitchen.Great common areas such as outside patio, inner dining room and big sofa areas. Beautiful landscape. Overall very good if you are looking for a rustic retreat in the countryside"

"This property was perfect for our multi-generation family holiday. The pool was a particular hit, with big wide long steps for the kids to play on but deep enough for the adults to enjoy. Plenty of shaded area for sitting outside and enjoying the scenery.The hosts were charming and helpful. "

"We had such a great time staying there.The house, a typical rustic Italian house, is well located for daytrips to Florence or Pise, and we really enjoyed the private pool and garden, which was ideal for our family and our kids. They could run freely around the house. The pool is fully fenced which was a big plus too.Andrea is lovely and communication with him was really easy."

"We did not know Italy at all before this stay, and wanted somewhere not too busy with tourists - this villa turned out to be perfect! The villa itself was great - big, well appointed, and cool in the day. There was so much space outside, plus the beautiful pool. There is a footpath that goes to a small stream and then the village, and it was great to be able to walk to the bar / bakery / restaurant. Recommend Il Pozzo! We were a bit surprised when a few dogs found their way into the garden but then realised the footpath runs behind the large hedge (you can’t see people, but do hear them and see their dogs sometimes) Not a problem but given the otherwise remoteness of the villa, it can give you a start to suddenly hear voices! We found it easy to get out and about - we did Cinque Terre one day (not to be missed!) and also very much enjoyed Castiglione, the village just up the hill. Access into the villa’s driveway is a bit tight but we soon got used to it, and worth it for the peacefulness of the villa at the end of the track. Loriana was there to welcome us on arrival and was easily contacted if we needed anything (we didn’t but good to know). We would love to come again to this area, and would not hesitate to book this villa again."

"We had the best time, beautiful house, pool, grounds. Can’t wait to come back!"

"Not a hotel as we thought but comfortable enough. No tea or coffee facilities. Bathroom supplies wanting."
