What a place, driving from France to Italy for our one night in Italy it was truly special. The hotel is a true castle and made us feel very lucky for staying there. It was a rainy day so after arrival we hauled up in the brick vaulted lobby which felt so cosy and had great service and lots of lovely local wine, beer and nibbles. It was great and we felt truly at home. Our room was vast and vaulted and with a true princess bed it was great and a massive bathroom and terrace. We were quite full after all the lobby time but did have a small dinner and the same lady served us from the lobby, who was really lovely and we could have taken her home with us.

The bed was a bit hard and felt it could do with some updating generally it is quite old fashioned, in a charming way, but some 2024 touches like usb sockets etc wouldn’t go amiss. A rug on the floor and a more streamlined furniture layout, with places to put luggage for two would have been great additions also.

The hotels over all presence in this small town is one of royalty and grandeur. I felt like I had arrived at a scene out of a James Bond movie. The old world charm is definitely there, billiard room, small hidden bar, old world dining rooms, candelabra, massive fire places and the escape tunnels that take you to the swimming pool and Spa. We wanted a Castle experience, we got it.

My negative, not that its major. When you pay rates at this level I expect not to have to pay extra for my eggs to be cooked to order. Cold boiled eggs or scrambled eggs that looked like they had been in the chafing dish for some time don't cut it. Sorry, yes its minor, but if the hotel can realize that the same raw cost factor is there, the egg, add a little labor & the morning experience would be at another level.

Wonderful hilltop castle with fabulous views, lovely gardens and breakfast terrace. Very helpful and friendly staff. The pool area was a great place to relax and the private use of the wellness area was excellent.

The bed was really uncomfortably hard - like sleeping on a table-top! Surely the news of memory foam mattress toppers has reached even hilltops in Roero by now? The breakfast offered limited choice for healthy eating and at this price level it felt bad form to charge extra for an omelette.

Amazing place with unusual facility and old royal style decoration. Nice spa facility with many options. Super service oriented spa manager (John) made our stay much better!

Too expensive to what it gives. We ordered room service and had to pay extra charge of 15€. Food quality was poor! Dishes were small and not tasty. Breakfast was standard and worth ~600€ a night.

The most amazing spa area, and truly the best masseurs. Wonderful breakfast - a delicious and diverse choice. It's impossible to describe the grandeur, luxury and ambience. Incredibly kind staff. An unforgettable experience.

Nothing

Incredible facility . Amazing rooms and facilities. To die for views. Excellent breakfasts Pool and spa exceptional . Grounds and vistas unmatched . Privacy and security first rate . Beautiful restaurant.

Absolutely no knowledge of the area . No concierge to speak of . Totally on your own . Young inexperienced ( but lovely) front desk team . We wasted 2 days in the area finding out sights , food and vineyards by ourselves . Fix this and you have a world class property right now it is only a glamorous B&B.

We had a wonderful experience at the Castello di Guarene. Every staff member we encountered, from the valet to the check- in to the cleaning staff were delightful and eager to help! They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable! The room was beautifully decorated, very clean, very comfortable, the Spa was amazing! I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the area!

the rooms are just gorgeous! proper old castle rooms with beautiful high ceilings, period furnishings, frescoes on the walls & modern bathrooms! and the BEST spa facility and massages by John, who has been around since we started visiting the property 6 years ago.

service staff could be better trained at the restaurant. I think the quality of the staff has gone slightly down after Covid years, unfortunately.
