Situated in Erba, approx. 10 km from Como (Lake Como), it has a 3.5 hectare parc. The distance to Como means it's cheaper than places directly at the lake.
It doesn't surprise me that the Castle is a popular venue for weddings and other festivities, especially at Weekends, which some people might not like as it can be loud.
I read some comments that the staff is not polite, helpful, etc.
We thought the staff was very professional (reception, restaurant), but I guess that the Hotel is mostly visited by Italian guests so that not all the staff speak English or other languages. Nevertheless you will always find someone helping you.
We loved the restaurant in the old Basement. The head waiter recommended a delicious wine (see photo) and was very friendly. It was a great experience.
Breakfast:
The breakfast buffet was adequate. There were several cakes, cereals, eggs, fruit, etc.
I just didn't like the coffee. The machine made lousy coffee (though we had great coffee after dinner in the Restaurant)...it's a shame; especially in Italy.
It's also a pity that the breakfast room is in the basement as well. You don't have windows and with sunny weather outside I'd rather sit on the terrace.
There were some minor flaws:
staff didn't help with the luggage, the bathroom in our standard room was very small.
The value for money is still very good and we will definitely go again (maybe in a deluxe room next time).
We booked our room via booking.com and got a very good rate.
