Castello di Limatola

是一座貨真價實的城堡！雖然是古堡改建，但在保留古堡風格的同時也充分考慮居住的舒適體驗，房間設施齊全，處處細節也體現酒店的用心，是古堡與酒店的完美結合。酒店的餐廳尤其值得推薦，菜品不多但精緻美味，酒單推薦的紅酒很驚艷，提拉米蘇非常講究，層次豐富。酒店還可以辦婚禮，也適合喜歡拍照的寶子們，除了位置在山上，略略偏僻，出去吃飯買東西不是特別方便，適合自駕之外，木有任何毛病，五星推薦！

I was thrilled to stay at a castle! It was somewhat hard to find the office; we weren't sure how far to drive up and in. The grounds are beautiful, and I can imagine lovely events at the various venues. (We explored all over.) Our room had a very cool mix of old and new. Although for two retirees, the box-based bed was difficult. The staff were very helpful. I would recommend staying here.

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.
