Overall:
We had an amazing trip of a lifetime at Castle Ducale. It was comfortable, luxurious, restful and an amazing opportunity to reconnect with family in a unique, unblemished breathtaking setting.
Enjoyed Most:
The gorgeous pool was big enough for everyone, and well-stocked with comfortable seating and a pristine bathhousetoilet. We spent full days at the pool under beautiful trees with gorgeous Umbrian mountains in the distance!
Enjoyed Least:
We stayed upstairs in the guesthouse and would have loved more lighting!
Surrounding Area:
The natural beauty was breathtaking, and it was so enjoyable to see small-town Italy.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Casacastalda is not within walking distance, but we did attend a beautiful Mass there.
Tips or Restaurants:
The Castle provided everything we needed! We felt very taken care of!
Directions:
Despite purchasing Italy maps from our GPS provider, our GPS unit still did not show good directions to the castle. The directions provided described driving through town and coming upon a football field and green gate. Please indicate that the gate is before the football field, at least when coming from Casacastalda!
