Castle Hotels in Italy
Castle hotels in Italy are not as uncommon as one would think.
Castles have long been a part of Italy's culture and history.
Before unification in 19th century Italy had many small families
which were governing a particular area and to show their power
the family usually had a strong walled castle to live in.

Castles are abundantly seen from Trentino
and Preidmont regions in the north to the Sicily region
in the south.

Palaces or "Palatium" in Latin became to grow in the
period after Renaissance and this idea then spread like a virus
throughout Europe and that is why we find number of castles in
Europe.
The best part of taking a stay at any of the castle hotels in
Italy is that these are still run and managed by the younger generation
of the noble families who have opted to convert their villas into
places where people can stay.
You will receive a warm welcome from the noble families and that
to in a royal style which may blow off your mind. The atmosphere
in and around the castle is really pleasing and calm which will
actually make you feel relaxed. The best part of castle hotels
in Italy is that they are too many in number and therefore it
is fairly easy for you find a castle hotel near a place where
you have some work.
Most hotels have an excellent scenic beauty in the background
and are equipped with facilities of Gym and spa. The choice of
the type of room you want however depends on personal likings
and cost. Also if you do not like to climb stairs then you need
to choose a room that is on the ground floor of the castle and
is usually a bit costlier than the normal rooms.
The bathrooms are also really modern, most of them having a Jacuzzi
or a shower to make you feel relaxed. The castles in the hilly
regions rightly do not have an air conditioner in the room whereas
those in the low lying regions do have an air conditioner in each
room.
As far as the price of these hotels is concerned, there are some
castle hotels which can be rented for a reasonable price however
the price may vary from season to season. When the traveling season
is off you may find castle hotels pretty cheap but during the
peak season it might even be difficult for you to find a room
in a castle hotel. The food and drinks served in these castles
are also a bit costly and therefore one needs to plan before hand
keeping his/her budget in mind.
The hotels however include breakfast along with the stay. These
Italian castle hotels are not only famous for their art and architecture
but are also known for the kind of service they provide.
Villa Crespi, Villa Las Tronas, Hotel Relais La Suvera, Castle
of Pianettole and Castello di Vicarello are some of the most famous
castle hotels of Italy and staying at one of these castles will
surely make your holiday a memorable one which you will cherish
for years and years to come.
