Italy castles

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful our stay and experience were at Castello di Montegiove. Rikki and Lorenzo were the most fantastic hosts and humans who facilitated a once in a lifetime opportunity in their “home” and community. They were kind and extremely well-organized with everything one would need for a week-long stay in one of the most beautiful parts of Italy. This was our last week of a 5 week trip and it was by far the most memorable. The accommodations were so special, exceptionally clean, and highlighted the character of the castle all while offering modern amenities. The castle and property overall could not possibly have been more picturesque. Rikki and Lorenzo offered a fabulous tour of the castle and winery and we thoroughly enjoyed many bottles during our stay. Day tripping is a breeze to Rome, Florence, Perugia, and all the gems around and in between. Staying local and exploring on foot was just as lovely. The pool was a dream during the July heat but the cool breeze in the evening kept the rooms at a lovely temperature. Rikki set up a private chef for us to hire for each of our dinners and it was the most incredible experience - not only the exquisite and authentic food, teaching us so much about the Italian culture, but also getting to know and fall in love with our new friend, Giovanni. We were so sad to leave and will bend over backwards to return one day. Grazie Rikki, Lorenzo, e Giovanni!

Staying the castle was very unique and a lot of fun. Lilliana the host was great.
