complimentary cocktails

dinner experience

Perfect for group travelers seeking history

We got to enjoy a complimentary champange cocktail hour where they shared fascinating stories about the castle. Dinner was one of the best meals I’ve had, the owner even walked around, snapping photos with guests before serving up fantastic food.

It wasn't exactly cheap, but for what you get, it's reasonable.

The highs and the lows

The atmosphere was charming, with friendly staff and a delightful evening meal. The four-poster bed in our spacious room made for a luxurious night. The complimentary champagne toast was a lovely touch!

We experienced significant noise from the nearby bar area, making it difficult to sleep. The lack of attention to cleaning standards left something to be desired for a castle of this caliber.

Staying here was a wonderful experience! The charm of the castle and the beautiful grounds were impressive. I particularly enjoyed the complimentary prosecco and the engaging stories shared by the owners about the history of the area. The food was also excellent, with a great variety that made dining memorable. Although the bathroom could use some updates, the overall ambiance and the inviting atmosphere made it worthwhile for our short getaway.
