Prostorný pokoj, pěkný výhled
Parkování a příjezdová komunikace, bez výtahu, před hotelem nejsou označena parkovací stání a mají ceduli parkování na vlastní nebezpečí, místa jsou velmi úzká, matrace v posteli měkké
Had lots of character and was easy to access.
Unique period property with stunning sea views.
We liked everything
Moc hezký hotel ve starém stylu.
Všechno trochu do kopce,bez možnosti výtahu.
Room was great with excellent air con, bed and bathroom. Breakfast was excellent and as much as you wanted
El loby y el comedor
Incómodo el baño para poner el jabón y colgar las toallas
Den gammeldags charme og stemning
Opkørslen og parkering på ejendommen krævede mod og tårer - stejl, smal og zigzag
Buenos servicios, bonito el lugar, buen desayuno, parking en el hotel, buena atención
Es un poco complicado si se lleva bastante equipaje, pues no tiene ascensor
Great location for Portofino and only a short walk into Santa Margherita Ligure. The outside looks great.
The inside is a major disappointment- it does not reflect the lovely exterior. Staff not very friendly and breakfast was not very appealing - don’t dare ask if there are any more croissants as you will get growled at!
Perfect place to be
Traumhafte Unterkunft mit tollem Blick Reichhaltiges Frühstück Nettes Personal
Enge Parkplatzsituation. Parkplatz war teuer!
La colazione
La camera, seppur con vista mare e pulita, non ha soddisfatto le nostre aspettative. Un quadro appeso male, pavimento rovinato, lenzuolo bucato, cassaforte “libera” nell’armadio.
Wunderschönes Ambiente mit traumhaften Ausblick auf die Bucht-> unbeschreiblich schön! Sehr familiär mit besonders freundlichem Personal.
Unser einziges Problem war die Herausforderung der steilen Auffahrt, die wir mit unserem Auto leider nicht meistern konnten. Dafür gab es aber sofort eine pragmatische Lösung.
Emplacement et rapport qualité prix
Mysigt och charmigt boende med väldigt hjälpsam personal. Fin utsikt och bra frukost.
La vista desde el dormitorio es inolvidable !!! Buen desayuno , buena ubicación , dormitorio amplio
Pokoje czyste, wymiana ręczników i pościeli codziennie.
Śniadanie takie same codziennie , ciasto inne każdego dnia.
Location
Nothing
Era in una buona posizione,si può andare in centro a piedi scendendo le scale.Posizione comoda e buona qualità prezzo.
Il personale poco disponibile,molto poco amichevoli .Le stanze non erano così pulite c’era della polvere.Non c’era il bidet .Il bagno non aveva la porta ma una tenda come nel terzo mondo.Il gabinetto faceva un rumore strano tutta il giorno.Non funzionava il fon e non funzionava la tv.
Santa Margherita Ligure is a wonderful location to explore Portofino and Cinque Terre from. The coastal towns is stunning ! Finding affordable accommodation (with parking) however, is not easy. This old Villa packs a punch with charm. Don’t expect bells and whistles or glamour. But do expect lots of fake flowers. I just needed a place to sleep as i explored the area - so this delivered and good value for what you pay for.
Its a bit up the hill and a walk to town

C’est magnifique, l’extérieur de la bâtisse est splendide, vu sur la ville. Les chambres et l’intérieur sont décorés avec goût. Un personnel accueillant. Nous recommandons vivement cet hôtel !

PROBLEMAS AL FORMALIZAR LA RESERVA CON BOOKING
La struttura bellissima
Era fredda
The view from the property and the room was clean. The building is very nice
The breakfast could have been more diverse
L’emplacement et l’accueil
La chambre sans équipement et mauvaise literie
Très bel hôtel. Parking présent mais un peu étroit.
Insonorisation phonique quasi inexistante.Réveillé pas des multiples passages de train. Personnel bruyant dans le couloir à 6h du matin. Petit déjeuner moyen avec jus de fruits coupé à l'eau. Au vu des désagrément le prix de la chambre est un peu cher. Ne vaut pas les 3 étoiles.
Falta papel higiénico, localização- 15m a pé até ao centro da vila, a subir e sem transportes, relação preço-qualidade.( excessivamente caro para a oferta, mesmo tendo em conta de que tudo a volta era bastante mais caro)
Son emplacement
Le petit déjeuner est très moyen avec des produits bas de gamme
Hôtel Charmant
Pas très commercial de faire payer le parking de l'hôtel : 15€ pour les voitures et 5€ pour les 2 roues, et avoir dans la chambre une notice d'information ou un livret d'accueil indiquant le code Wifi et les services et horaires de l'hôtel serait bienvenu et pratique.
La vue et l emplacement de l hôtel 10 minutes à pied du centre de santa margherita
Parking très compliqué, petit dej ne vaut pas son prix Décoration mériterait un gros rafraîchissement Solarium laisse a l abandon dommage
Staying in a castle waa a great experience.
locatia
pereti crapati , mizerie pe pereti,usa la camera care nu se inchide bine, seif care nu are cheie ( deci nu ai cum sa il folosesti, deoarece personalul a pierdut cheia) , mic dejun slab calitativ, am stat 2 nopti , nu as mai reveni niciodata
El Castello es muy interesante y evocador. Las camas son cómodas.
Para 200 euros la noche lo encuentro caro. No estaba mal, pero está algo anticuado y el desayuno no es nada del otro mundo.
La tipologia della struttura, ovvero una vecchia residenza nobile…… bellissima, la posizione alta dominante perfetta, lo staff accogliente e disponibile. Consigliatissimo
Posizione
Parcheggio non proprio comodo e salita ripida per raggiungere ingresso Camera con forte odore, forse umidità (eravamo nella 22, non nel corpo centrale dell’albergo) oppure di straccio non pulito Nessun supporto in camera come sedia, appendino. Una sola finestra, bagno cieco Albergo di vecchia concezione (per arredi e bagno) Ingresso alla camera non sicuro (dava sul vialetto di ingresso all’albergo con portone sempre aperto)
The ambience was great with everything seemingly true to this period residence. Staff were pleasant and helpful and the breakfast was good.
Unfortunately it is just a bit far out of town and I was told that a taxi would be very costly for the distance.
La proximité avec le centre ville
Nous avions une place de parking et en revenant elle était prise par une autre voiture Il a fallu réclamer pour se garer après avoir payer 15€ par jour ça fait un peu cher
Habitación muy comoda, baño espacioso y personal muy amable
The view from our window was great and the breakfast was substantial.
I did not like the location. It was up a steep hill and It was very hard to walk back up there in the heat. For the price it's very basic.
Villa ist wunderschön, Lage ist gut. Personal ist sehr nett
Das Parken war schwierig (man muss in einem steilen Winkel fahren, nicht jedes Auto schafft das), und das Zimmer selbst war sehr klein.
Edificio, posizione, AC
Dependance arredi vecchi, mancanza carta igienica nei bagni.
Posizione e parcheggio in struttura
Bagno piccolo e senza finestra
Fantastisk historisk miljö
Goede bedden, mooi gebouw. Prima ontbijt. Toch nog redelijk dicht bij het centrum
Parkeren is lastig, stijl omhoog en weinig plaatsen
Il panorama e il silenzio
La salita a piedi per raggiungerlo e il rifiuto del taxi a portarci
J'ai aimé le style de l hôtel et la vue
Castello molto bello e colazione squisita
Stanza un po’ retró - posizione non comodissima
The architecture was great.
Parking access
L'authenticité de la bâtisse. La gentillesse du personnel. Le petit déjeuner très complet.
La montée pour y accéder
Clean
The breakfast, artificial orange juice
Camera pulita e ordinata, anche se nel bagno c’erano più di 40 gradi stante le finestre senza alcuna tenda. Arredo datato. Storicità il giusto.
Nel mini frigo della stanza non vi era neanche una bottiglietta d’acqua per gli ospiti. Quest’ultima ci é stata fornita solo su richiesta. Location suggestiva ma andrebbe rivisto complessivamente il suo interno.
Molto carino ed accogliente
Niente
The actual building was super authentic and nice. The room was comfortable as well with properly working air conditioning. Breakfast was good with nice sea view as a bonus. Traveling by car you will have to park your vehicle on the hotel private parking (but it requires an additional payment).
Location is good and overall, it's not far from the beach and city center (about 15 mins walk) but you need to consider that some part of the road is going up.
Unique atmosphere! Lovely place. The view from the room is fantastic. Ten minutes to the beach by a short walk. Parking experience! Nice town near to Portofino.
Fascino posizione e parcheggio
I bagni un po' datati
its old castle turned to hotel, d for the value of money, far from the centre, like 15 min walk its on a hill but the price is acceptable, the staff, ali, amasimo and andrea are amazing people, its only 7 min to bus station where u can take the bus and go to portofino
no elevator; if you have heavy luggage its a problem. Cleaning: I found a lizard in the room, expected as its like a castle and alot of plants
Charming old castle. Room was roomy and comfortable. Nice bathroom.
Breakfast room was quite hot . Needed air con. I requested some ice the first day and was told they didn't have any.
附近非常整潔乾淨,服務人員態度非常親切
只是住宿地點有一點遠要走十幾分到20分鐘才能到達鬧區,酒店門口比較危險車流很快要小心
El tracte humà i la gentilesa i facilitats de l'acollida, bon i variat esmorzar i habitacions molt confortables. Simpatia i correcció.
res, tot ha estat bé. Un tracte exquisit. Una estada ben confortable.
Colazione, parcheggio un po' scomodo, ma presente
tutto ottimo
Good location nice staff and friendly.
Room 33 view was totally closed view wasn't really satisfied.
Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die Freundlichkeit des gesamten Teams. Bereits vor unserer Anreise wurde auf meine Nachricht bezüglich der Klimaanlage eingegangen. Beim Check-in erhielten wir eine ausführliche und freundliche Einführung. Auch das Reinigungs- und Rezeptionspersonal war jederzeit aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. Das Hotel ist in einem kleinen Schloss aus dem 19. Jahrhundert untergebracht und hat dadurch einen ganz besonderen Charme. Unser Zimmer war sehr geräumig, sehr sauber und das Badezimmer ebenfalls grosszügig. Die ruhige Lage hat uns gut gefallen, und trotzdem erreicht man das Zentrum in wenigen Minuten zu Fuss. Auch die Parkplatzlösung fanden wir gelungen. Obwohl die Zufahrt etwas steil ist und nur wenige Parkplätze vorhanden sind, kann man den Autoschlüssel an der Rezeption hinterlegen, sodass das Personal die Fahrzeuge bei Bedarf umparken kann.
Das sind nur Kleinigkeiten: Da wir unsere Ankunftszeit vorab mitgeteilt und um eine Überprüfung der Klimaanlage gebeten hatten, wäre es schön gewesen, wenn das Zimmer bei unserer Ankunft bereits angenehm gekühlt gewesen wäre. Ausserdem hatten wir einen Zweitschlüssel für unser Fahrzeug an der Rezeption hinterlegt und diesen beim Check-out versehentlich vergessen. Ein kurzer Hinweis des Personals oder eine kleine Erinnerung an der Rezeption hätte uns die Rückfahrt erspart. Das ist jedoch lediglich ein Verbesserungsvorschlag und hat unseren insgesamt sehr positiven Eindruck nicht geschmälert.
Konumu çok iyi temiz bir odada kaldık yardımcı olmaya çalıştılar bize genel olarak.
Asansör olmadığı için zorluk çektik. Büyük bavulla geliyorsanız bunu bir düşünmeniz gerekebilir.
Great views, on site parking and amazing breakfast
The hike up the hill!
Otelin ambiyansı ve manzarası muazzam. Kendinizi bir anda orta çağda modern bir odada buluyorsunuz.
Ulaşım açısından yürümek dışında bir alternatifiniz yok. Araçla geliyorsanız otopark sıkıntısı yaşamamanız çok iyi.
Wunderschöne Burg, etwas erhöht, nur etwa 15 Mintuten Fussmarsch vom Zentrum entfernt. Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Grosse Zimmer und grosses Bett.
Die Zufahrt und die Parkplätze sind sehr eng. Allenfalls muss man etwas warten, bis andere weggefahren sind.
Vriendelijke ontvangst
Alles prima
Tutto
Niente
loved the character of the place. such fun
Hotel molto particolare e caratteristico, pulito e con una vista molto bella. Abbastanza vicina al centro e al mare, raggiungibile a piedi in 10 minuti. Soddisfatta.
La salita ripida e stretta in accesso alla struttura è impossibile da percorrere col taxi che, quindi, ci ha lasciato a bordo strada. Abbiamo dovuto percorrere l'ultimo tratto a piedi.
Doručak korektan,terasa na ulazu u sobu i foaje prelijepi.
Sve je bilo odlično osim što se malo osjeti na vlagu zbog starosti objekta,no i to je dio njegova šarma.Fantastičan pogled.
El hotel era muy bonito y confortable
Nada
Camera pulita, colazione buona.
Per un errore con la reception abbiamo scoperto che le chiavi aprono tutte le stanze. Posizione non comodissima da raggiungere a piedi.
L'hotel e la camera erano molto puliti e ordinati, camera molto carina con vista panoramica bellissima! Letto molto comodo. Molto affascinante poter alloggiare in un castello!! Situato in una posizione molto buona, il centro si raggiunge comodamente a piedi in circa 10 minuti, vicino anche alla fermata dell'autobus se si desidera raggiungere Portofino. Colazione abbondante e buona, con possibilità di scegliere sia salato che dolce. Lo consiglio vivamente.
Fin utsikt. Sjarmerende gammet herskapshus.
Eggerøre laget av pulver, ikke bra. Middels frokost
Camera pulita con aria condizionata e frigo. Offerta colazione essenziale. Posizione a 10/15 Min a piedi dal centro.
In pieno luglio, sala colazione molto calda senza aria condizionata. Se si mette un televisore in camera, meglio verificare che si vedano i canali (almeno quelli rai e Mediaset).
Posizione rialzata sul mare
Distanza dal centro
freundliches Personal
viel zu hellhörig innerhalb und zur Straßenseite
Ett häftigt annorlunda ställe. Trevlig personal, stort rum, fin utsikt och god frukost.
Piekny hotel,czyściutko, cisza wokół. Pyszne śniadania i przemiła obsługa hotelu .Hotel w pięknym zamkowym klimacie .Blisko do morza ,ok 3 minuty jazdy rowerem .Byłam z rowerem. Polecam wszystkim, z rodzinką ,dziećmi hskni ba wyjazd w pojedynkę.
La struttura è bellissima 😍
Era in salita e a piedi con le valigie e’ un po’ pesante
Senza ascensore
Obiekt, widok z wieży, śniadanie, stosunkowo blisko do centrum.
Podjazd po hotel - stromy i wąski. Niestety uszkodziłem sobie o wysoki murek, podczas zjazdu drzwi w samochodzie.😭😭😭
Das Hotel ist unglaublich schön und liegt in einer wunderschönen Gegend. Nur etwa 2 Gehminuten entfernt befindet sich eine Bushaltestelle, und das Stadtzentrum erreicht man in ungefähr 13 Minuten zu Fuß. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, herzlich und immer hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer wurde jeden Tag gereinigt und alles wurde täglich aufgefüllt bzw. erneuert. Mit der Sauberkeit war ich wirklich sehr zufrieden. Auch das Frühstück war für ein 3-Sterne-Hotel überraschend vielfältig und sehr lecker. Besonders die Pancakes und die Orangenmarmelade habe ich geliebt – ich werde sie wirklich sehr vermissen! 🥞🍊❤️ Insgesamt war mein Aufenthalt wunderschön und ich würde dieses Hotel auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!
Extremely friendly staff that gave us great recommendations for food and local things to do. Staying in a castle is so cool. Convenient walk to the centre of town. Good breakfast. AC in our room made for a very comfortable sleep.
Nothing
Veldig hyggelig peronale. Koselig frokostsal. Vi var heldige å få bord med utsikt utover lagunen.
Ikke noe konkret.
Siamo arrivati in struttura e nonostante la prenotazione fosse stata accettata e già pagata online in realtà la camera non era disponibile e lo staff non è stato in grado di fornirci una soluzione alternativa di pari livello nella medesima località. Dopo oltre 40 minuti di attesa siamo dovuti andare via e cercare in autonomia una nuova sistemazione, il che ha comportato - oltre a un notevole disagio - costi superiori del 50% rispetto alla tariffa che ci aveva fornito booking.
L'établissement est vraiment bien situé et c'est le gros point fort ! Chambre climatisée très agréable en été également et propre.
Nous avions la chambre "côté" jardin" comme nous la présentait la réceptionniste. Néanmoins ce n'est qu'un nom et nous avons été plutôt déçus par l'aspect très simple de la chambre. En résumé, chambre sommaire à l'extérieur de la belle bâtisse que l'on peut voir sur les photos. Nous n'avions pas la sensation de profiter de cette magnifique villa et de son charme. Les photos laissent supposer que toutes les chambres sont dans la villa ce qui n'est pas le cas d'où notre déception.
Très bel hôtel, bien situé au calme, et pas trop loin du centre. Facile de le trouver et d’y arriver en voiture (il y a un parking, ce qui est pratique). La bâtisse est magnifique et le parc autour est très beau aussi.
L’accès au parking est hyper raide et faisait un peu peur, mais finalement même avec une voiture un peu basse, c’est allé!
La posizione troppo in salita
Authentic Italian castle with nice views and garden.
Driveway leading to parking spots and entrance is extremally steep and narrow. Leave the car at the street level and inspect on foot before driving up.
La natura intorno ..e il fascino puro sempre del castello
La salita per arrivare alla reception..stretta e molto scomoda soprattutto per parcheggiare
Accueil chaleureux, charme de l'hôtel, parking à disposition, petit-déjeuner pour tous les goûts.
Disposer d'une poubelle dans la chambre.
Das Ambiente ist einzigartig und einladend. Cooler Vibe.
Die Betten sind leider sehr unbequem und quietschen bei jeder Bewegung. Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig.
La stanza era bel fresca perché aveva L’aria condizionata acessa. Bellísimo. Letto molto cómodo. Personale gentilissimo.
Le briosh non erano molto buono. Sembravano vecchi. Solo quello! L’altro niente da dire.

Value for Money
8.1/10Standard quality for this hotel tier.
Food and Beverage
8.6/10Breakfast described multiple times as good, varied and excellent; F&B is a clear positive in reviews.
Overall Experience
7.7/10Overall very positive guest impressions (charming castle setting, friendly staff, comfortable rooms and great breakfast) tempered by access/parking and occasional small issues.
Perched atop a verdant hill, the historic late-19th-century castle delivers sweeping Gulf of Tigullio panoramas from select terraces.
unwind in the garden or by the terrace with sea views, complemented by a cozy lounge with a fireplace for cooler evenings.
Easy stroll to Santa Margherita Ligure’s center, with convenient access to Portofino and Cinque Terre from the Castel Il Rifugio base.
