I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The historic charm and beautiful grounds were definite highlights, but the service left much to be desired. While the rooms were comfortable enough, the dining experience and staff attentiveness didn't match the luxury price point. Overall, it's a beautiful location but can be frustrating due to the service issues.

This hotel has the potential to be truly amazing with its beautiful grounds and luxurious atmosphere, but my recent stay was marred by poorly managed service and communication issues. While there were aspects I appreciated, such as the stunning architecture and a lovely spa, the dining experience left much to be desired, and the overall service did not meet the expectations set by the high prices.

My stay at Castel Monastero was absolutely enchanting—an ideal mix of historical charm and modern comforts. The facilities were impressive with multiple pools, a spa, and beautiful outdoor spaces. Dining experiences were top-notch, especially the homemade pasta at La Cantina. However, I was slightly disappointed by the limited dinner options, especially if one of the restaurants is closed. The value for money is certainly there for the quality offered, but be prepared for premium pricing on drinks.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The grounds are stunning, creating a peaceful retreat, and I truly enjoyed the luxurious spa services, especially the massages. However, the dining experience was lackluster, with a limited breakfast selection, and the service left something to be desired in both the restaurant and pool areas. Overall, it’s a beautiful property, but there are areas that need improvement to match its high-end expectations.
