What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We had an excellent stay in this well renovated and maintained castle. The staff was young but very professional and forthcoming. Food and wine were outstanding and did not justify to seek for a different place to go out for dinner. Unfortunately no air-conditioning nor fan in the rooms.”
“Gorgeous palace in the forest, a real castle from the XIII century. Clean and cosy. Very helpful and polite staff. Especially the guy at the reception. Good food in the restaurant, fast service. Various products with Valenzano brand: wine, herbs, honey, etc. Nice garden. Great for photos. Remarkable place in Italy! The only thing was the heating of the room. Took almost a night to become hot.”
“Amazing stay for a decent price. Because of the environment and historic building we felt really special here. Service was great, castle was beautiful and the views were amazing. Thank you for this opportunity, we would love to return someday”
“We absolutely loved our stay at Castello di Valenzano. The medieval atmosphere and rooms full of historical charm made it feel like we were staying in a beautiful museum. The restaurant exceeded our expectations, offering delicious local dishes that were even better than some of the famous restaurants we visited during our trip. It was fantastic to enjoy their own wine, olive oil, and homemade pastries—truly special touches! The presence of lovely dogs and cats added warmth to our experience. Castello di Valenzano is not just a hotel; it's an unforgettable medieval experience. A heartfelt thanks to the owner and all the staff for their warm hospitality!”
