We (4 adults and 3 kids aged between 9-11) absolutely loved our stay in the castelo. The location and scenery were perfect. The kids loved the rock climbing next door. Town restaurants were lively with fresh and tastey options. We can't wait to return!
Karl, Barbara, and Marino are magnificent hosts. The property is centrally located and they make coming up and down from the Castillo as easy as possible even though it’s a bit of a work out. We could not have asked for better hosts during our time in Aosta Valley! You can get dinner prepared, wine tours, zip lining, and hiking nearby. We will definitely be considering staying here again when we come back!
We have been to Italy many times, but have never spent our holidays in such impressive accommodation. Equipped with lots of tips and information from our host Karl, we spent wonderful days at the castle with nine family members on the occasion of my sister's 50th birthday. A unique experience that we, Judith from Germany, will remember for a long time
I can only recommend the Montestrutto castle to anyone visiting the region. The castle is absolutely great, not only the building itself but also the park. The views are also unforgettable.
Barbara, Moreno and Karl were always looking after making our stay the best possible experience, and they succeeded at it.
The only bad part is when you have to leave. It’s so sad! I hope we can come back soon!
Our family of seven stayed in the castle for two weeks in the first half of July. This is a beautiful property that made for a very memorable visit. The outside spaces were perfect for relaxing and dining with terrific views of the mountains, the sunsets, and the stars in the evening. It is near enough to the highway to easily get to Torino/Milano or Mt. Blanc/Matterhorn, but completely quiet both indoors and out. Europe was suffering from a heat wave at the time of our visit – temperatures in the valley were 35-40oC (95-105oF) in the day and 24oC (75oF) at night. However, at the castle there was a steady breeze throughout day that kept things pleasant so that we never felt the need for air conditioning. The property had everything we needed in the kitchen and other living spaces; each of us (three couples and a child) had a bedroom and bath on different floors or sides of the castle that were very private (like the property itself) and allowed us to come and go without disturbing others. Karl (the host) and Moreno (property manager) were easy to contact and super helpful with recommendations for dining, fishing, swimming, and experiencing the region. At the foot of the hill there is a great playground, gelato shop and pizzeria. Over the years we have rented nice properties in great locations across Europe and the US. This is one rental we shall never forget. The castle was a big part of what made the vacation memorable. We would definitely do it again.
The week spent at the castle was a fantastic family holiday . It was lovely to cook in the well equipped kitchen and enjoy meals together.There is so much room to spread out if you would rather some alone time .The host Karl very kindly put up a Christmas tree which was very special.The local township is beautiful and only 1 hour drive and you are surrounded by beautiful snow covered mountains and ski resorts.Car parking is below castle and the walk up is a good 15 minutes of steep uneven ground.I managed with a bad knee , but could be difficult if you had mobility issues.Overall this was a character filled holiday which will leave us with lasting memories!
Hanging Out with the Ghosts of Rosario Scalero's Students
Staying in a true stone castle, with a tower, wrought iron door hardware, frescoes, and excellent accommodations was amazing enough, but to share the spaces with the ghosts of Rosario Scalero's esteemed students of music and walk the trails of the pilgrims from Canterbury to Rome conjured up a special magic for our group of 8 music, food, and wine-loving Midwesterners. Karl was an excellent host with his local team of Moreno and Giulia, helping us discover the wonders of the region and the friendly village at the castle's base. The one item that should noted for other castle-lodgers that was not apparent to us in the listing is the difficulty of hauling luggage by hand up and down the steep winding and stony path or several hundred stairs - ultimately worthwhile for most of our group, but very limiting to one or two members with mobility issues. Those with adequate fitness can plan ahead for packing mainly essentials, but those for whom rigorous daily climbs would be challenging should think twice. Nevertheless, the majority of our group would enthusiastically hope to return some day, definitely worthy of the effort!
