The staff is undoubtedly the standout feature here, ensuring every guest feels special and pampered. The hotel has been thoughtfully designed to fit with the monastery architecture, which creates an extra layer of relaxation for guests. The only downside is the occasional outdated decor and unfriendly staff, but these are minor complaints in an otherwise exceptional 5-star resort. While it may be expensive, Castel Monastero is clearly at the upper end of pricing for a reason - the beautiful and welcoming structure, stunning medieval castle setting and quality service make this place worth every penny.
