Castello Orsini Hotel

Amazing! Castle exceeded our expectations. My family and I enjoyed two wonderful nights at the castle. Spent one day exploring the castle and the nearby village and the next day we went to Rome. Also, I had forgot my bag with passports and called the reception and they quickly found the bag with all contents intact. I am beyond grateful for the caring staff.

Well signposted from the main road Very friendly check-in Rooms: really are in a medieval castle, with thick stone walls, and a warren of passages to explore. You're free to wander around the castle, inside and out, and come upon surprising lounges with huge tableaux on the walls or garden terrasses near the pool. Our room was quite basic: no bedside table lamps, a leaky shower and very intermittant hot water supply. But catching the sunset over the castle walls and wandering down into the little village of Nerula at dusk made up for it. There is a reasonably priced restaurant in the castle but serves things like octopus carpaccio and didn't seem to have a kids menu or vegetarian options. The pizzeria in the village was bustling and we recognised a number of hotel guests there ... Breakfast was great: served in the old kitchens of the castle, there was a friendly atmosphere and a good choice. We were quite sorry to leave and wished we'd stayed another night.

Amazing opportunity to experience castle in a new way was warmly appreciated by our family even though we spent the night at the old villa next to the castle (where they have some rooms as well). The breakfast was great and served at the castle.
