カステッロ ディ セミヴィコリ(Castello di Semivicoli)

The pictures of this place do not do it justice. What an incredible stay! You feel like you are back in time…the history of this place is so prevalent when staying here. They have done a very good job of refurbishing it with modern amenities while still staying true to the building’s character. The pool is refreshing. The views breathtaking. And the breakfast delightful! We had dinner and it was very good, too! The one suggestion is allowing for a dinner outside. But overall, a very impressive stay!

I loved everything about this place, but I especially liked the staff. They were so genuinely friendly, especially the night guardian who told us a lot of history about the castle. These people work hard! We will be back as we are moving to the area and hope to take part in their events. Room was exceptional; we slept well. Lovely big cappuccino for breakfast. Worth every penny. Perhaps the best place to stay in this part of the world.

Beautiful suite on 3rd floor, 360 view on stunning landscape. Although most interiors with antiques the suite with strange modern features and jacuzzi. Arrival the guy at the desk stayed glued to his chair, same when checking out. No intention whatsoever to leave his chair. Guests had to drag their luggage from the parking to the elevator. Last floor had to drag the luggage flight of chairs myself to third. Pool area able to get a drink but without chips or nuts. Restaurant in cellars, interesting, waiters friendly, food quite average. Lobster with summer truffle but had to use my glasses to find any truffle. Pasta with mussels same issue…not one. Main cod in tomato sauce, cod cold and sauce too much tomato puree. Wine from castle was excellent. Breakfast fresh focaccia, cheese and ham, fresh pear juice and decent coffee. Humanity did great things in the past, however maintaining these great things like an old castle is another matter.

The property and grounds are absolutely stunning. A fabulous place to relax

This is a beautiful property. Only 11 rooms, each are unique. The food is excellent as is the wine. The castello has 4 different labels to choose from. The pool was not open in early may but appears to be clean and well maintained. We did not use the exercise room. If you wish to do a wine tasting contact the staff prior to arrival. A tasting must be requested two days in advance.

Just a dream

Second time here, and we enjoyed it very much. Dinner was really good too.

Large room. Remote location.

Esperienza eccezionale: interni eleganti e suggestivi, giardini e spazi esterni ampi e meravigliosi, camera calda e confortevole, ristorante di alto livello, personale gentile e disponibile. Abbiamo fatto una bellissima degustazione "Gran Sasso" nell'antica sala delle botti con prodotti di alta qualità e vini superlativi. Sicuramente tutto da ripetere anche durante la stagione estiva, data la presenza della piscina stagionale con vista bellissima sulla campagna e le colline circostanti.
