Castell'Arquato Testa Winery Hotels

"New hotel in Piacenza has excellent staff and clean/well appointed rooms. I few things that I noticed that have room for improvement. To enter the hotel requires a flight of stairs - which is cumbersome with luggage. I'm certain that a smoother entry could have been included in the major renovation that they completed to turn a civil building into a hotel. Also, the breakfast while welcome is poorly staffed. One person to check people in, clean up, stock food, and generally keep things in order. When I arrived multiple items were absent from the buffet and the poor girl running it seemed as if she was on the verge of tears. There needs to be another person to clear tables and deliver food. Lastly, and I guess I am an outlier here - but I find it dangerous to have the name of the hotel, the room number, and the code on a slip of paper. If the paper is misplace, or even just viewed by another person, they have full access to your room. I took a photo and destroyed the paper but it feels like a very peculiar way to keep guests safe. I would still recommend the property. It's easy to find, has free parking and the staff was lovely. "

"This is an experience unlike any other. You’re staying in an actual castle. It is well off the beaten path and dinner options are slim, but La Retta Winery was outstanding!"

"Good aoanand very good breakfast"

"- clean room - very comfortable parking - personnel very professional and friendly - good variety at breakfast - only suggestion would be to be allowed to slightly open the window to change air. I am sure you have a good air conditioning system but still it’s something that could be considered"

"Sweet country inn with all the charm. Extremely nice staff that were helpful and attentive to all of our needs."

"This is a terrific hotel. The room was spacious, the bathroom excellent and it had a fridge/mini bar too. There was ample free parking, the breakfast was super (including delicious hot scrambled eggs and bacon) and the staff were incredibly helpful. We also had dinner here and the set menu was excellent value and very tasty. We will certainly return and many thanks to everyone for making it such an enjoyable stay."

"Fabulous "
