Once In A Lifetime Stay In A 1000-year old Castle
Posted 12 Jan 2017
Pros: The staff was very friendly and helpful, the furnishings were nice and the breakfast was divine.
Cons: The rooms need a heater in the winter
Location: A few km away from San Marino and the fortress of San Leo
We were thinking about staying for the night in San Marino, when I stumbled on this beautiful treasure just by chance. Located only about 20 minutes away through winding mountain roads - this is a 1000 year old castle that a wonderfully friendly couple had bought and renovated into a handful of guest rooms.
You've got to get off the main road and head up a winding dirt road that isn't it great shape but gets you to the hotel.
The rooms have lots of exposed rock and the floors are heated - the washrooms are nice and the dining room and fireplace are comfy and cozy!
They did offer to make dinner but we decided to eat in town so they gave us great directions to some local places.
The view from the room is astounding as it sits atop a hill overlooking miles and miles of farmland. You can even see the castle fortress of San Leo nearby.
It was a very cold night and it would've been nice to have had a heater in the room but there were extra blankets.
Breakfast was a pleasant affair, our hostess made fresh eggs for us and there were was lots of juice, hot tea and fresh bread and buns.
We only stayed for one night - but I could've stayed there forever!!!!

Isolation and peace
Posted 7 Jun 2016 on HotelsExcellent hosts, very good food, exciting drive on unpaved road to reach the property, quiet with spectacular views to San Leo and the valley below.

Bellissima struttura, pochi servizi, isolata
Posted 15 Sep 2015 on HotelsBellissimo palazzo, restaurato di recente, completamente in pietra anche all’interno. Il parcheggio è molto ampio e gli arredi sono di gusto, i bagni curati, ma il kit di cortesia è minimale e MANCA IL PHON. Eravamo in 3 e la camera è un po’ piccola, pur se pulitissima. Nel letto matrimoniale si dorme benissimo e il silenzio è quasi inquietante, perché si è letteralmente in mezzo al nulla. Panorami mozzafiato, ma la camera è SFORNITA DI FRIGO, TELEVISIONE, INTERNET. Arrivati, ci hanno detto che prende solo Tim, ma nella nostra camera bisognava sporgersi dalla finestra per telefonare. Avendo problemi di familiari anziani e di lavoro (che puntualmente si sono presentati) non è il massimo. Per raggiungere la struttura bisogna spegnere il tomtom e cercare Sant’Igne, poi Le Serre, e poi si vede un cartellino che indica la struttura, che è comunque raggiungibile con uno sterrato. Sorvolerò sulla condiscendenza con cui ci siamo sentiti dire che sono solo gli italiani ad avere problemi ad arrivare…. Il link che ci era stato inviato con l’itinerario non funzionava. La colazione mi è sembrata molto meno ricca di come viene descritta dai gestori, ma potrei essermi sbagliato. Abbiamo dovuto andare via dopo una sola notte invece di tre per problemi sopravvenuti di lavoro, e ci è stata addebitata una giornata in più, comprensiva di tale colazione che, ovviamente, non abbiamo consumato. Eravamo gli unici ospiti della struttura e lo saremmo rimasti comunque fino alla partenza.

Bedingt empfehlenswert
Posted 2 Aug 2015 on HotelsDas Hotel liegt extrem abgelegen. Der Zufahrtsweg lässt zu wünschen übrig. Wifi ist leider auch nicht vorhanden. Das Hotel scheint sehr persönlich, da man alle an einem Tisch frühstückt. Die Hotelzimmer sind hübsch eingerichtet. Wir würde dieses Hotetl aber nur Reisenden empfehlen welche gerne etwas abseits sein wollen und eventuell wandern wollen.
