Our stay at Castel Monastero was a mix of beautiful surroundings and some disappointing aspects. The charm of the historical property captivated us, though the dining and room amenities fell short of expectations given the high price point. Overall, while we enjoyed some elements, it was clear that there were key areas needing improvement to enhance the experience.
