We chose this hotel for convenience because our ferry was arriving late in Ancona. It turned out to be a great choice and would recommend fellow travellers. It was set in beautiful countryside, so very quiet, the grounds were beautiful and the room was wonderfully cool after a very hot day. We chose to eat in their restaurant, which was in a pretty little courtyard and the food was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful, explaining everything in English. We were lucky enough to have a little dining room to ourselves for breakfast. Very romantic for two old travellers! A great spread for breakfast, which is not always the case in Itlaly, and coffee made by a person, not a confusing machine.

Actually nothing.

We stay here every time we visit friends in Fano and have returned many times and will continue to do so. The hotel is beautiful, such lovely gardens and courtyard. Also it is very close to Fano and to the motorway but it is so quiet and safe. The staff are always really helpful and kind, which is critical for us because my husband is now registered disabled. They made sure we had a suitable room and where we could park our car right outside the door. The breakfast was delicious with a good choice of hot and cold foods.

This is not a "dislike", more of a comment. I could say the pool is a little small but it is a beautiful infinity pool, with lovely surroundings and very clean. Anyway, I think one visits this hotel because of it's charm, peacefulness, lovely helpful staff and location, rather than to go swimming.

Location was beautiful. Bathroom left a lot to be desired, small and not very neat and with the bidet in the shower. Restaurant I would say food was ok but bland, no tastes stood out, nothing was bad but nothing was even vaguely memorable. Staff were very helpful, especially Andrea and Matteo, but I must underline that the place was WOEFULLY understaffed, with few people doing the work of many.

Bathroom. Restaurant food bland and forgettable . Place understaffed .

Ik stayed there several times on my many trips from Greece to Holland. Twice per year with my two labradores. I like a room on the ground floor to walk with the dogs up and down is not a good idea on my age.

What I don't like is that Booking.com asks this kind of direct questions and inform guests that they still can cancel. That does not help the owners of hotels

As you head west, you leave behind the crowded strip of land on the Adriatic coast that includes the town of Fano, the railway and the motorway and you begin your climb into the foothills of the Apennines, in the direction of the monastic Eremo di Monte Giove (Monte Giove Hermitage). The narrow road has not risen by much before you turn onto the driveway, rising through wooded grounds to the foot of a brick staircase leading to the front door of Castello Montegiove. The property is not so much a 'castello' as a country house, or mansion and although imposing from the outside, thanks to the neo-gothic elements and castellations, its internal proportions are much more domestic and comfortable. Standing on the east terrace, which includes an oval-shaped swimming pool, the ground drops away, giving views across the town towards the sea. The windows in our room also looked in this direction, enhancing the sense of space and removal from the hustle and bustle of the coastal strip. The exceptional location of this property is complemented by respectful, friendly and informative service from all staff, all of them excellent. This is not an anonymous, corporate hotel, where your welcome depends on corporate policy on greeting guests. No, it is warm and personal. We immediately felt that are presence was appreciated. The non-corporate theme continued in the bedroom, furnished with pieces you might associate with a domestic setting. Yet, the comfortable canopied bed, en-suite bathroom, tv, internet, safe, all functioned efficiently. The included breakfast was generous, varied and delicious, with freshly made coffee to awaken the day served by again, excellent staff. You may be busily passing through the area, have business in Fano, or perhaps you're simply taking a break in the area to enjoy historical sights or the beach... Whatever brings you to the area, this haven of peace is the ideal jumping off point.

There was really nothing that we didn't like on this short visit. The only disappointment for anyone visiting the area without a car might be that the property is not easily accessible without one.

A small boutique style hotel in a restored castellated building occupying an elevated site with commanding views of Fano and the sea. very relaxed and friendly with charming staff. Nothing is too much trouble and lots of fabulous local knowledge on wine, culture including nearby towns like Urbino.

only slight gripe, the mattresses could be a little better doesn’t stop us returning year after year, the staff are like old friends

Beautiful property and comfortable rooms. Dining room was excellent, food and staff superb. This was just a stop-over but I would gladly have stayed another couple of days.

It’s on a small side road and signage is hard to see, GPS isn’t quite accurate. It is very close to the turn onto the side road and not as far as GPS suggests.

Very beautiful place to stay. We really enjoyed this hotel and its local cuisine. Staff was very kind and willing to help. Room was well equipped and comfortable. Breakfasts were tasty with many kinds of local foods.
