On this vacation we stayed in Rome, Gubbio, Florence, Venice and Interlaken. After we finished our trip, our whole family said the highlight of the trip by far was staying here.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars isn't enough. We're giving them 100 stars!
My wife had the idea to stay in a castle and this property was perfect. We had the entire place to ourselves.
We met the owners, (a husband and wife) when we arrived and they were an absolute joy! The husband spent 40 years restoring the castle and he had so much pride showing us around and telling us the history, it was magical. The wife was the most kind, sweet and funny person. The dynamic between the two of them was great to watch.
We arrived at 8pm and asked them for a restaurant recommendation. We ended up having dinner with them at a restaurant in downtown Gubbio and got to know them even better. The husband owns an antique shop in town that is a must visit! Talk with him about the history of his items and the shop itself.
This couple made our trip the most special occasion!! Thank you!
OK, let's get to the castle. OMG!! The location is on a mountain top with great views and sunsets. There are meadows, hills, a nun convent across the hills, frogs and just quiet nature everywhere.
The castle itself is stunning! A medieval treasure expertly restored, with a modern amenities. The beds were very comfortable, the showers had great water pressure and were hot. Did I mention you're staying in a castle!!!
