  • Most famous former guest: Emperor Napoleon III.

    Of all Manor Castle’s historic hotel suites the Napoleone Suite at the 16th century Residenza Napoleone III in central Rome, Italy, is the most lavishly beautiful.

    The interior design is an incredible feast for the eyes and, apart from the obligatory electric lights, as you scan the rooms almost nothing from the 21st or late 20th century seems to intrude, allowing a nicely disorientating sense of immersion in history.

    THE ACCOMMODATION:

    They have two self catering apartments for guests, the aforementioned Napoleone Suite, which is a 150 m² apartment consisting of a very romantic double bedroom with four-poster bed, a marble bathroom with bathtub, a large lounge and dining room, a kitchenette and up the wooden stairs a second bedroom with private bathroom with bathtub and a small balcony.

    The apartment is reached via an old staircase which is lined with marble statues of the Roman emperors Hadrian and Claudius, and Greco-Roman gods; Bacchus and Silenus, Apollo, Mercury and Aesculapius. This sets the scene for this incredibly beautiful historical suite, where the inside is an opulent display of grand chandeliers, frescoes, tapestries, and exquisite art and antique pieces, particularly the many classic oil paintings.

    The second, upstairs bedroom is more modern though, not blindingly so but enough for one to re-climatize somewhat before leaving the building and re-entering the modern world.

    The apartment does have modern conveniences too though like air-con, WiFi, satellite TV, HiFi music system, Bose iPod dock, Dolby Surround System video projector & DVD library for example. These features remain subtle enough not to dilute the historic atmosphere of the place though, with the TV in the bedroom for example hidden behind an old oil-painting that can be spun around when required.

    The second suite on offer is the, far more modern, penthouse ‘Rooftop Garden Suite’. Its internal space is smaller but it does have a beautiful, and spacious, garden terrace with panoramic views over the rooftops of Rome. It has two double bedrooms and a sofa bed in the living room plus a well equipped modern kitchen.

    Complimentary organic continental breakfasts are available as are private butler and maid services. You’ll fine the staff friendly and professional, and on arrival guests are greeted with complimentary Chianti Classico wines from the owner’s Tuscan Estate as well as a basket of fresh fruit.

    Concierge services are available too including recommendations and reservations for local restaurants and theatres, chauffeur driven luxury cars, private city guides, personal shopper services, beauty treatments etc. etc.

    THE LOCATION:

    Palazzo Ruspoli sits right on the fashionable Via del Corso in central Rome, by the intersection with Largo Carlo Goldoni and the Piazza di San Lorenzo in Lucina, and just a few minutes on foot to the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain.

    A LITTLE HISTORY:

    During the 16th century the site of today’s Palazzo Ruspoli was a residence for the Roman Jacobbili family, before in the latter end of the century, being sold to the Rucellais, a family of rich Florentine merchants. It was they who built the palace we see today, commissioning the famed architect, sculptor and fellow Florentine, Bartolomeo Ammannati for the job.

    In 1629, the palace was bought by the Gaetani family who remained in place until 1776 when the start of the long association with the current owners of Residenza Napoleone III, the Ruspoli family, began.

    In the late 18th century the Ruspolis, like much of the Roman aristocracy, suffered somewhat under Napoleonic imperial rule and also had extra indignity of being forced to billet visiting French generals in the palace. They regained their stature during the 19th century though and the international connections of Prince Alessandro Ruspoli lead to some very important guests; Ortensia Beauhamais, the ex-wife of Louis Bonaparte, King of Holland, lived here from 1827 to 1828, and from 1830 to 1831, along with her son Louis Napoléon, later to become Napoleon III, emperor of the Second French Empire.

    WHAT OTHER GUESTS SAY:

    “The location above the rooftops of Rome in the historic Palazzo Ruspoli is unique. All the sights in Rome city centre are within easy walking distance. The service in the house is second to none, e.g. the help in reserving tables in restaurants. In the immediate vicinity you can go shopping, dining, and take your aperitif – the park of Villa Borghese is close too….”

    “We will be back, a thousand thanks! Everything was perfect and every wish was fulfilled. A big thank you to Beatrice!…”

    Italy
    Castello Di Monterone is a magical castle hotel perched on a hill overlooking the wonderful city of Perugia, Umbria. It’s very convenient to the city centre, just over a kilometre from the old town on the road to Assisi, but tremendously peaceful and serene. The building goes back at least seven centuries and, though now a luxury hotel, it has been carefully restored to reflect its abundance of history. The first thing a castle hotel needs to get right if it wants to brand itself a luxury hotel is to not damage, or even to distract from, the historic fabric of the building and Castello di Monterone gets this perfectly right. It is very much a luxury hotel but the modern conveniences and comforts are subtle and respectful. The two castle restaurants are up there with the best – one, il Postale, being Michelin-starred. Other facilities include a swimming pool and spa facilities.   READ MORE

    Italy
    Castello di Velona is a stunning 5 star, 11th century era, castle hotel set high on a hilltop outside Montalcino, Tuscany and comes with panoramic views over the iconic Brunello vineyards of the Val d’Orcia. It is very much an exclusive, luxury retreat, and one which also comes with a hefty price tag. The only negative reviews it seems to receive are, at least in part, in regard to the cost but once you come to terms with that it is a very special place indeed.  The quality of the accommodation and service, the uniqueness, and beauty of the setting, the tremendous spa and wellness facilities – including natural thermal spring baths, and not one but TWO restaurants with Michelin Stars – an outstanding achievement – means it absolutely has to be on our list of the best castle hotels in Italy. They have a great range of accommodation, from basic (relatively speaking of course) double rooms to some enormously opulent suites (one even has a private pool) and some equally opulent and spacious self catering apartments. REVIEWS: “Amazing views of a gorgeous, historical valley as far as the eye can see. We had a huge “Junior” suite with a beautiful READ MORE

    Aficionados of Italian wine, particularly Brunello, will be well aware of Castello Banfi near Montalcino, Tuscany. The 7,100 acre estate has been producing quality wines since 1978, offers a full compliment of eno-tourism activities and a range of elegant, 5 star boutique accommodation. The centre piece of the estate are the enchanting 12th century era castle and 17th century era hamlet which sit high on a hill overlooking the vineyards and the surrounding, typically picturesque Tuscan countryside. There you have a choice of beautiful, and very spacious, rooms and suites, two excellent gourmet restaurants, a traditional Tuscan enoteca, beautifully manicured gardens, a heated outdoor swimming pool, a small gym, a massage pavilion and a cookery school. THE ACCOMMODATION: The choices are between ‘deluxe’ double rooms which, at 40 m², are large enough to be considered suites in most hotels and then there are the actual suites; classic, junior, superior and deluxe, they range in size between 66 m² and 110 m² and can sleep up to four. They are all beautifully designed, classically furnished and full of regal charm. They also come with large bathrooms with walk in rainfall showers (some also with baths) and all modern hotel mod cons; READ MORE

    Castello Di Gargonza

    Address: Gargonza, Strada Statale 73 Senese Aretina, Gargonza, Monte San Savino
    Arezzo
    Tuscany
    52048
    Italy
    Castello di Gargonza is a very unique place – a mixture of medieval castle and (once abandoned) hamlet between Arezzo and Siena that is now exclusively available, in its entirety, for guest stays. It is a gorgeous sight – a classic Tuscan hilltop village, the castle tower which now serves as a reception area being its highest point. It has 1000 acres of peaceful forest surrounding it too and the views are breathtaking all around. The accommodation, a mixture of B&B rooms and self catering apartments is not in what is left of the castle itself but in the surrounding village houses – beautifully, carefully restored, they all feel tremendously historic and authentic but still contain plenty of subtle modern comforts (though no TVs are allowed – to keep the medieval magic alive somewhat). All guests have a swimming pool and a top class restaurant, La Torre di Gargonza, at their disposal as well as a rustic bar cafe and lots of place to roam around or lounge – shady lemon gardens, woodland walks and benches to stop and take in the views.     READ MORE
