Castello Camemi

3/5

Located in a very quiet and isolated area, with beautiful gardens and a very impressive inner court yard. The outer gardens are green, with beautiful plants, well maintained and can host garden or pool parties. The restaurant is beautifully arranged with soft arches, big windows, the staff is very attentive but overall a bit too expensive for what it has to offer. The inside hall and the rooms are cold looking, outdated and kind of spooky, not really matching the luxury displayed in the advertising pictures but I guess a castle is supposed to be like this...The road from the gate to the castle is badly maintained and the occasionally repaired potholes are signalled by 2 plastic containers. The cactuses at the balconies aren't giving a welcoming look but more of a hostile one. Due to it's high altitude location, I believe it can be a very good and cool place to be in the middle of the summer when temperatures are a bit too high elsewhere. I would say this castle is excellent for a trip back in time, for events or group gatherings and less suitable for couples as if there's an event going on, you would feel completely uncomfortable. As a solo traveller, I would completely avoid this hotel, it might feel extremely lonely...Definitely not a 5 star hotel, neither a 5 star experience as the quality-price is totally unbalanced.
