“Worst 'hotel' I have experienced”

Reviewed 8 February 2013

This hotel claims to be a 'charming hotel' , I'm not quite sure how they are able to advertise as this..we found the whole experience a miserable one. Where to start...No vehicular access within the grounds, which is fine but to offer NO help with baggage from car park (in a separate location to hotel) was unacceptable. Not all our... More

We stayed at the Castello for two weeks and had a great break.

The... More

“A Castello that could do a little better.”

I have just returned from spending a week at Castello di San Marco. This really is a lovely place to stay. The grounds are very well kept and it's just a lovely place to walk around. The garden is well maintained with water features, lots of fruit trees and rabbits! The pool area is spotlessly clean and surrounded by trees.... More
