Castello di Pontebosio Luxury Resort

A lovely stay away from the craziness of the coast! The staff could not have been more helpful. The rooms are beautifully decorated and we were invited to enjoy all the different rooms in the castle as we were shown round on our first day. Very peaceful, but also close enough for us to enjoy coastal beauty spots like Cinque Terre. One of our party had a birthday whilst we were there; the staff did their u**ost to make the breakfast extra special. A very special BIG shout out for Roberta, along with Irina, Max and Matteo

I loved the property and the staff , if I am being totally honest the food was below par.

This is a wonderful place to stay inland from La Spezia. The hotel has a small team of amazing staff who do everything to ensure you have a fantastic experience. The castle has been refurbished to a high standard and there are many little extras in the rooms to make your stay most enjoyable. The menu for dinner consists of a selection of freshly prepared local dishes, well worth a try. Continental breakfast is superb, delicious pastries! The pool and spa are an added bonus.

Staying at the castle was a complete and wonderful surprise. It is clean, comfortable, and the staff is beyond exemplary. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. It doesn’t seem possible that such a wonderful place could be in the middle of nowhere, but it is true!

What an awesome experience. Felt like a queen. Look forward telling all our friends and family about this 400 years old hotel.

A hotel in a castello, spectacular surroundings for a stay. We were exhausted from our journey and a really late arrival. The hotel manager Matteo greeted and welcomed us personally, showed us the hotel and our room and we even got a lovely dinner, although it was very late in the evening. Breakfast the following morning was lovely, as was our entire stay, however short it was. Thank you 😊

Mateo and his staff made us feel like royalty, staying in an authentic castle. We arrived late one evening, tired and hungry, after a failed Airbnb. The staff pulled out all the stops, opening up the kitchen, feeding us and getting us settled in our luxurious suites. It was a wonderful end to a very long day. We stayed three relaxing nights. The service was excellent and food was fantastic. (Breakfasts and dinners) We enjoyed the pool. The staff were happy to arrange for spa amenities and massages. The train is a ten minute drive away, making a trip into La Spezia and Cinque Terra easy. At times, we couldn’t believe this place was real, but it never disappointed.

Staff was wonderful— food great

The Castello is a beautifully restored building, with very caring staff. If you are looking for a cooler, more remote, peaceful stay, this is perfect. Dinner was also very good.
