Castello Di Pavone

The room was very large and comfortable- maybe a little gloomy, but it’s a castle, right? It was nice having the choice of two restaurants: one for fine dining and one for smaller snacks, including. pizza.

The architecture of the castle is absolutely beautiful. The staff is fantastic—very helpful, friendly, and welcoming. The food at both restaurants was also very good - compliments to the Chef!

The biggest downside is that the property is very dark inside, even on a beautiful, sunny day. Our suite was quite dark, and the breakfast room was also very dim. There is a beautiful inner courtyard where they could serve breakfast or dinner, which would be a wonderful experience, but unfortunately, they don’t seem to use it - really a pity!

A calm and timeless atmosphere. A fabulous place that lets you forget about technology and the stresses of modern life.

The bathroom needs updating in keeping with the current style

If you have ever wanted to stay in an authentic castle then this is a fabulous choice - a magnificent property that feels very special and is filled with lovely furnishings and delightful details. The gardens are beautiful and the restaurant is very good - wonderful atmosphere.

We were very disappointed in our room and the lack of hotel facilities - both fell well short of the description provided on booking.com. We booked a room described as 25sqm with air conditioning, a sofa and table, soundproofing and a view - all of which were important to us. our room was 15sqm at best plus a bathroom. It was dark, had no sofa, no table and no window or view - just a door onto a small balcony shared with 2 other rooms. The room was quite warm and there was air conditioning but we were told it could not be turned on due to government regulations. We opened the door to let in fresh air, but in came the mosquitoes and we could not leave it open for security reasons. After a long hot night I asked for a fan and after much haggling one was provided - much better. Our room was not in the main castle building, but in an annexe above reception and next to the bell tower. The bell rings very, very loudly from 9 am to 9 pmon the hour, so if you want an afternoon nap or an early night, don’t stay near the bell tower - it will more than wake you! As for the hotel facilities, the description included a guest lounge, a bar, games room and room service - these did not exist. The hotel has a stunning courtyard which would be perfect for an aperativo - alas, not an option. A few days before we arrived we were advised that the restaurant would not be available on the night of our arrival due to a group booking - no alternative at the hotel was offered - surely a table in the lovely courtyard could have been arranged. Beware of weddings or large group bookings as this may compromise your stay. My issue here is that we did not get what was described and what informed our choice of this hotel - properties must take more care to be accurate in their descriptions.
