Castello Di Giomici

Wonderful
Traveller Type:
  : Take a seat at one of the castle's terraces or climb on top of the caste tower. Take a glass of wine or a belgian beer and enjoy the amazing view from the castle. You may also catch a light breeze of wind during hot days from there. The dining room of the castle breathes the medieval style. Strategic position to places like Assisi. The castle itself is quite isolated but a car brings you everywere. Dont mind the bumpy road through the woods to get to the castle.
  : Sanitaire is kind of medieval style as well and needs refurbishment. Rooms on first en second floor can get warm because of no airco.

  : Great breakfast, wonderful dinner. Marci was a fantastic host. Ability to have us tour the castle and go up the tower was a bonus! Grounds and views are something so special.
  : Hot water for the shower would have been great. But maybe this was just temporary.

  : Fantastic location in a beautiful castle. Friendly helpful staff especially Marco. Exceptional views especially from the top of the tower. Delicious four course dinner available. Lovely pool but located about 750m drive away and you pay an extra 5 euros per day per person,well worth it on a hot day.
  : Cannot comment on the castle bedrooms but the 1 bedroom apartment is in need of refurbishment. There is damp on the walls and peeling paint in the bathroom.Cracked floor tiles . The fridge is old, cracked and rusty. The fly screens don't fit properly.Very hard bed with unstable surround.Loose light fitting. Old towels covered in bleech marks.Concerned about a fire exit as bars on all the windows so stuck if unable to get out of the one door.I understand that this is an extremely old castle and refurbishment is on going , the apartment is not quite there yet.

  : We stayed only for one night but everything was great. The staff were great. Marco made sure that my husband and I were well looked after. The room was clean, some of the furnitures were almost falling apart but it kind of add to the medieval feel. Having known that Italians have their breakfast with sweet breads and pastries, Im so happy that their breakfast buffet include savoury options as well which I prefer. We also got to go up to one of the towers and enjoyed the view.

  : Location was perfect for us and the castle made the stay more special
  : It was a bit hit when we arrived, so air con would have been nice. But then again that would spoil the charm of the castle

  : This castle is located in one of the most beautiful valleys of the area. The atmosphere was amazing and the panoramas are to die for. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere during dinner was really special. Assisi is just a short ride away making this a good place to retire to if you are interested in visiting the city.
  : We were quite unlucky and visited during some super warm days. If you get the room who gets the most sun during the day like we did it is almost impossible to sleep there as it is extremely warm. To be expected in old buildings (of course you can't have air con) but we couldn't sleep at all for2 nights. I also wouldnt describe the mattress as confortable. The room had a pleasant whirpool bath but I assume the jets were not cleaned recently as a whole bunch of sand flied out once I activated them.

  : Well, I dont really know where to start and dont know what to say, considering the responses given by the owners, always ready with an excuse for everything.If you want to stay in a castle and enjoy some beautiful Umbrian views, then go ahead and book your stay here, but dont think youll get to have a magical experience, or even a pleasant one. The rooms are okay, a little outdated and uncomfortable, but not too concerning, at least for us. I could see some problems that families might have booking a room like the one we had, considering the layout of the place, but I cant speak for all the rooms available in the castle.The main reasons why we will never come back to this place are the lack of managerial figures, the incompetence and the unprofessionalism of the staff, and the absolute disappointment that we had with their dinner.I wont go in too much detail, because, as I stated before, the castle websites owners will always find a way to respond back with presumptuousness. The only thing I can say and suggest to whoever is thinking about visiting this castle, is do not trust the images posted on the booking websites. The only pictures that you will find of dinners are these amazing images portraying people dressed from the Middle Ages era and having beautiful dinners on a big common table. What they give you instead, is an overpriced, unprofessional, and unclean service, which youll only remember with disappointment. Dont be fooled by the buffet appetizers and desserts, thinking (like we did) that you would get unlimited goods from the area. What youll really find is the castle staff (or managers, still, no idea who we were talking to most of the time) treating the costumers like animals, even giving us the 1,2,3, go treatment to see who could get to the desserts first. The buffet that they offer is 5 little plates that you would serve to a birthday party for two full rooms of tables.
