Castello di Limatola

The rooms are amazing. The beauty of the castle and it's surroundings is spectacular. However, the parking is sketchy at best and nobody offered to help with our bags and it's quite the walk up the hill with two or three bags. My mother actually fell leaving the property Sunday. The wet cobblestones are slick and dangerous. They have a golf cart that could shuttle guests and their bags easily

Typical of what I expected staying at a castle, but there were lots of cups and glasses etc left in different areas of the caste from past parties or gatherings that you saw as thou walked around touring the castle. Room was clean though.

Definitely a five star! We loved the castle, it was our first experience ever staying in one! The evening meal at the restaurant was excellent although my husband thought the portions were small!! The breakfast included in the stay was incredible…..the best we’ve had in the 3 weeks in Italy! I would definitely stay there again!!

Staying in a real medieval castle was an amazing experience. The location was unique, the property itself was well maintained and absolutely beautiful. The staff was very attentive and the chef and food quality was outstanding. The fine dining was Michelin level and just fantastic in every way. Make sure you definitely try the croissants in the AM at breakfast. Our stay in Italy was amazing but this made our stay extra special.

This was one of the best accommodations (when it comes to price-quality ratio) I have ever had and I travel a lot. The castle is beautiful and the breakfast is awesome. You can order a la carte as many dishes as you want and they were all delicious.

What a great place to stay for a couple of days! The area is lovely, the castle is super cool and the staff is lovely. We went to a nearby medieval town for dinner and it was beautiful. Really enjoyed our stay! Thank you.

Wonderfull place to visit. The entire facility is beautifull an worthy of a vist on its own. Check in was easy , the staff are nice people and very helpfull.

The best place where to stay in real ancient castle. The furniture and rooms are very comfortable. The best over all are the people that works in the reception. A special thank to Mr. Mina a very professional guy that speaks several languages, know how to make special your stay and always available for any ask and find exactly what you need.

Upon arrival in Limatola we followed our satnav to the hotel, when the satnav eventually stopped there was no clear signage as to where to go next but with Google maps on air view we managed to work this out and continued up the hill through a small arch way - we had an Audi A4 but anything bigger wouldn’t have made it to the car park. Upon getting out the car we headed to what we thought must be the hotel but we ended up wandering around for ages as there is no clear signage to the reception area. Eventually we found reception and managed to check in, the chap didn’t really speak any English at all and we had a fair hike with no lift to our room. The room was really dark with hardly any windows, the bathroom was tiny and again had barely any light at all, the room felt cold and even more basic than the pictures had shown prior to booking. There was certainly no fancy lighting in the bathroom and we had booked a Junior Suite - which this room certainly was not. Our room was located around what was probably the old dining hall and the hotel had covered the open air section in a plastic tarpaulin, it was very windy and this was making a really loud slapping noise which could be constantly heard in the room. The restaurant appeared closed and the minibar only had water or Prosecco so we decided to walk into town - there was no staff anywhere to be seen in the hotel and as other people have commented there appeared to probably be a wedding on that weekend. Limatola was like a ghost town, what there was was closed & there was nobody anywhere, we visited on a Saturday so we’re a little surprised by this. When we eventually got back to the hotel we decided to checkout straightaway and stay elsewhere, upon checking out the staff couldn’t have cared less and didn’t ask why we were leaving when we had only arrived a short while ago. It was such a shame as the castle from the outside is stunning but unfortunately the rooms feel unloved and uninspired, the hotel has potential to be beautiful but it appears they care more for the money from weddings than the accommodation they provide. We ended up staying in the close by town of Caiazzo, as this is where we had dinner booked & it was incredible, a gorgeous typically Italian town with a beautiful Airbnb, shops, cafes and a bank.
