Room was very bright, clean and generally lovely. Great bathroom and very good facilities. We stayed in a room with a view on the hill from one side, and on the sea over the other side: it made for a very bright stay and the views are actually fantastic. Staff was great, very helpful and kind, and always available. The room and bathroom were very clean.

Breakfast buffet could be improved - for example by adding some fresh fruit, or improving the cheese and cured meats selection - items on display were a little bit disappointing except for yogurt which was always fresh. The Restaurant could've been better, there are I think much better options across the Island.

I have been at Giglio island many times because the island itself is a little heaven on earth for those who appreciate an unspoiled natural setting, and a wonderful mix of beautiful tuscan villages, fantastic beaches with cristal clear water, and of course all the tasty food and wine you expect from Tuscany. In this idyllic context the Castello Monticello hotel for me has been a very pleasant surprise: it seemed more a 4 stars hotel than a 3 stars. The breakfast was spectacular, the staff was always helpful and kind, the facilities included scenic sea view terrace and restaurant/breakfast area, free shuttle service to the Arenella and Cannelle beaches, and very nice and elegant relax areas, always with perfect wi-fi signal. All of this at excellent value. I will definitely come back again, hopefully very soon. Previously I was mainly renting private flats, but I found this hotel much better value for money and from now on this will be my chosen place. The hotel is a big beautiful castle building well visible from many places in the island.

Everything was perfect, but my only kind suggestion to the hotel managers is to keep at least some emergency snacks for people who miss dinner: the hotel is at about 10 minutes walk from Giglio Porto on top of a steep road, and if you miss the hotel deadline for dinner you are forced to go back to Giglio Porto. I never needed this, but for some it may be useful to can have emergency sandwiches or at least snacks, not only drinks.

I'm so glad we stayed here and would come again, the hotel is perfectly located just up the hill from Giglio Porto. Breakfast and coffee were good with a lovely view and service. The staff are great and super helpful, the hotel shuttle was amazing and made it really easy to travel to the nearby beaches and to go to the Port for dinner. Just outside the hotel there is a bus stop which takes you to Castello and Campese beach on the other side of the island. Our room was large and clean with a comfy bed and good shower.

The hotel is located up the hill from the charming little port, with sweeping views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The hotel provided shuttle service to the beach and to the port where there are many services and restaurants. We chose to walk to one of the loveliest of the beaches, maybe a half mile away, and took the island bus system (efficient, quick) to one of the others. The hotel staff graciously and cheerfully accommodated all of our needs.

We loved everything.

The best thing that could happen to us during our short vacation. I could not believe the value we got for the price. - Stunning view - Cozy atmosphere - Books, ping pong, board games, etc. - Delicious breakfast - Pleasant dinner experience (paid separately) - Free shuttle to the beach and back - Free parking (despite we didn't need it) - and of course people :)

The position, the wonderful view and the very good restaurant. The free shuttle service was also great.

It could do with a little touch up, but nothing major. Coffee machines in some of the rooms would be great.

The situation was ideal, above the port but within easy access and close to the bus stop. The hotel also had a free shuttle service from the port. When we travelled to Giglio Campese for a meal we were told there was over an hour wait for a taxi so we rang the hotel and they came to pick us up and simply charged the normal taxi fare. The staff just couldn’t do enough to make our stay perfect. The dining room had a fabulous view overlooking the sea and had a good selection of cold foods but they were also happy to cook some eggs if requested. The hotel ensured that we had a perfect stay and was very good value.

I loved the location and the outgoing support from the staff. There's a superb concierge service (Tomas and Francesco) and a incredibly kind driver named Ranji that shuttles guest endlessly around the island.

The hotel is a little outdated and could need some outside treats for guests such as a pool or breakfast facilities outside

The staff was amazing. Engaging and helpful with tips about the island. Helped book dinner reservations and had recommends about what to do and where to go. Reji was an amazing driver for the hotel that helped us get around the island.

The hotel has a good location, not far from the port and Arenella beach. The shuttle offered from/to the port is really convenient. The view from the room was amazing. The staff was lovely and always ready to help.

Shower is very small
