Castello di Gargonza

A truly unique and wonderful experience at this amazing property, a 13th century fortified medieval village. Truly gracious and warm hospitality with unique and comfortable rooms throughout the property. The complimentary breakfast is excellent and served in a beautiful breakfast room. The swimming pool is set in a beautiful setting with views of the surrounding area. The restaurant La Torre di Gargonza serves delicious food with good service. We highly recommend a stay in this magical village!

Castello di Gargonza is the most enchanting place I have ever stayed. The entire village is beautifully restored but retains traditional charm and artisanship while providing updated amenities like modern plumbing and internet. The views from the village down into the valley are magical and ever-changing.

I would have given 10 plus if I could, but I am giving it 4, as the woman who checked us in, told us that for the kind of booking we would have to stay in a room which faces the street, dark and tiny, the first impression as we entered it was like entering a coffin. I was just amazed that, first they had such room and they expected anyone to stay in it. I booked in *******, fully paid for 3 nights in August. And in anywhere there was a picture of the room. I am writing to *******, that their post is quite misleading. Then, she told us that she can show us another one, on top floor with a seating area. I don't know if this happens with people who book with *******, but it was a very unpleasant check in experience. It was obvious that they were not fully booked, so what was the point? I am still very puzzled. That apart, we spent beautiful 3 nights, the breakfast every morning was a treat with all the bread, cakes and pastries home made. Lucia and Veronica were just amazing. The grounds beautifully maintained, The quietness and the slow paced were such a treat after the week in Rome. We did not have time to visit the restaurant or walk the trails, but definitely a place to go back. The next time I will check about the accommodation. I would say check if they will have event or wedding, because then, it could be a hassle as one needs to compete the space with the group.
