Location

Nestled amidst the lush greenery, Castello Cortevecchio offers a charming retreat away from the bustling city life. Its medieval architecture and enchanting atmosphere provide an exceptional experience that is both romantic and tranquil. Located on a hill, the castle is surrounded by a serene forest, offering stunning views and a calming natural environment. Although it lies about 16 kilometers from the center of Gubbio, the location is conveniently close to various cultural and tourist attractions across Umbria, making it an excellent base for exploration.

Visitors can enjoy the peace of the picturesque countryside, along with the warm hospitality of the staff, notably the courteous director Luca. The serene environment promises night-time tranquility that serves as an ideal stress-relief. While the breakfast is basic, with items like homemade cakes, the abundant hospitality more than compensates. Guests appreciate the dog-friendly policy and the availability of a free outdoor pool to enhance their stay. Despite minor room for improvement, Castello Cortevecchio remains a captivating destination for those seeking a peaceful escape in a beautiful, green setting.

Many praise the breakfast for its variety and abundance, highlighting the availability of rich and delicious cakes, pastries, and sweets. The dining atmosphere is described as beautiful and elegant, enhancing the overall meal experience. Guests frequently mention an excellent and satisfying breakfast, indicating that it meets various needs. However, some reviewers express disappointment, citing a lack of fresh options and an overreliance on industrial, packaged products. The absence of savory items such as cold cuts, cheese, and fruit is noted by several. A few guests found the breakfast simple and average, mentioning a mismatch with the quality-to-price expectation. Nonetheless, the breakfast is reasonably priced and, overall, the plentiful offerings are appreciated by many, though some feel that more variety could further elevate the experience.

Rooms

Castello Cortevecchio offers a mixed experience when it comes to its guest rooms, with notable strengths and areas for improvement. Guests have appreciated the spaciousness and welcoming atmosphere of the rooms, especially in the mini-apartments with features like a kitchenette, living room, and bedroom providing a sense of comfort. However, the bathrooms frequently receive criticism for their small size and outdated features, with some lacking basic amenities such as a bidet. Maintenance issues, including broken fixtures and inconsistent hot water supply, have also been reported, along with occasional lapses in cleanliness. While the castle's historical charm is a draw, the accommodations show their age in aspects like hard mattresses and absent air conditioning, though fans are provided. Catering services are event-dependent, which might leave some guests without dining options on certain nights. Despite these drawbacks, the overall stay is described as pleasant, with a potential for improvement given the castle's unique and beautiful setting.

Some guests have pointed out poor maintenance and cleanliness, particularly in the older rooms and sports facilities, which appear neglected. Issues such as dirty sheets, unclean bathrooms, and sporadic cleaning services emerge in some reviews. The swimming pool, at times, has also been reported as dirty with insects and leaves. Many reviews suggest that the entire property requires better maintenance to live up to its potential, especially considering the beautiful but demanding natural surroundings. Overall, while there are moments of exceptional cleaning, consistent quality across the hotel’s areas remains an area for improvement.

Wi-Fi

Castello Cortevecchio, with its charming ambiance and historical allure, is a haven for those seeking a unique travel experience. However, potential visitors should be prepared for limited Wi-Fi connectivity, especially in the rooms and the dependance. This could be seen as an opportunity to unplug and fully immerse in the serene surroundings and historical charm the castle offers.
