I had a wonderful stay at the castle hotel. The rooms were comfortable, and we had plenty of space to spread out. The service from the staff was top-notch, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of. The location, although with some minor issues, offered stunning views of the castle and valley. The dining experience was enjoyable, with a good selection of local and international dishes. Overall, a charming stay with a few drawbacks to consider.

The hotel is situated in a beautiful area high on the cliff above the river valley, offering amazing and peaceful views of the castle and valley. The rooms were large, well-equipped, and featured probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. However, the rooms, while comfortable, did not meet a 4-star quality with no TV, refrigerator, air conditioning, and a parking place more than 300 meters away, up a steep mountain.

The rooms were large and well-equipped, with probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, but they lacked amenities like a TV, refrigerator, and air conditioning, and the parking was inconveniently far away.

The service at the hotel was mostly very nice and helpful, with first-rate professionals who were extremely friendly. However, there was an instance of rudeness from a staff member that left a negative impression.
