Everything was really fantastic, the rooms are big, modern, clean and comfortable. The whole place is beautiful. The outdoor and pool also looked nice but we didn’t get to enjoy it too much because of the weather. The hotel kindly arranged a tour of the wine cellar for us, which was very interesting, as well as a wine tasting. The hotel is just a short drive away from a small lakeside town, and to great hikes!

The hotel was exceptional in every way, fabulous room, comfortable and very well presented. The staff were all top notch and went out of their way to ensure we had a great 2 night stay. The breakfast and evening meal were very good. However, we were disappointed with the local town of Sarnico. It was a good half hour walk away and in our opinion not worth the walk.

perfect location for a weekend in Franciacorta, the facilities are amazing and tastefully renovated, maintaining the original structure. Rooms are spacious and extremely well appointed

The staff at the restaurant was not up to standard, poorly organised and not attentive to clients’ needs. This was in contrast with the rest of our experience.

The best place to stay with your family or friends. Staff is very nice and helpful. The entourage is perfect, and we will definitely visit them again!

Impressive renovation in special place. Modern inside and clean with good food and atmosphere.

Only down size are the stairs.

A very special hotel, with spacious room, comfy bed and pillows, spacious bathroom, all tastefully decorated. Easy parking for our vehicle in a rural setting. From the moment we arrived the staff made us feel very welcomed and assisted us throughout our stay. Full credit to the chef, evening meals outstanding. Pool area was fabulous.

Everything was perfect

Spacious room, perfect division to suit our sleeping arrangements. Really enjoyed the outdoors and the restaurant. The cellar tour and degustation were a bonus. Would go back to enjoy the pool as well!

Room was too hot but opened windows and were fine. AC didn’t appear to be working. Party lasted til midnight.

The transformation of a 1000 year old castle into a hotel with style, comfort and taste. Super friendly and skilled staff who provided just the right level of hospitality to help make my stay truly memorable. We'll done Castel Merlo!

This is a fantastic place. Absolute luxury. They have done a superb job of blending the old and new. Faultless.
