Castello di Serragiumenta

Amazing experience to stay in old palace/castle. Wonderful property with agritourismo qualities. I am sure they do great weddings for Italians but services were a little short when wedding party left and very few were tolerant of English speakers. The hostess of the castle was amazing and bent over backward to assist us

Our room was on the 2nd floor, was quiet and comfortable, heating worked as we visited in the off peak season but rooms stayed comfortable. Building and interiors are nicely decorated. Staff were all very friendly and helpful, all spoke english. We took a self drive tour around their farm using their golf carts and this was good fun and a nice way to see their property. Wi-Fi worked in the room. We ate dinners in their restaurant and all were delicious and staff also very attentive. Tried lots of their wines and bought a few bottles. Very good breakfast spread. Some yoghurt, fresh fruits, cereals, cakes, breads, meats, cheese. Also offer eggs to order for an extra cost. We were very pleased with the breakfast as often Italian breakfasts are the least appetising when only cakes are provided. Only suggestion to improve the room is provide foldable luggage racks so we don’t have to leave suitcases on the floor. If in the region again would stay again as well placed to visit local sights, and staff and meals were excellent.

Beautiful castle in hilly landscape. Nice breakfast, amazing restaurant. They produce their own wine.

Before I write a review I always read the previous few reviews and then check their dates to see how far removed my recent experience was compared to the last reviewers'. The most recent reviews for this property were dated July and May of 2019. With adjectives like "idyllic" and "captivating", I found myself wondering how much this B&B might have changed in the past two years, since those descriptions are certainly not ones I would use to describe the Castello. My wife and I stayed here because we wanted to break up a six hour drive into more manageable segments and we couldn't find what we deemed as suitable hotel accommodations in the area. On paper the Castello looked inviting. We stayed two nights. First of all, it's not a castle. It's the country villa of some wealthy Italian family, constructed at some point in the 1800's. The first floor is essentially vacant, seemingly used for indoor special events like weddings. The second floor is a time capsule of what the Castello looked like when the family was in residence. The third floor is where you'll find the guest rooms. The accommodations are spartan and certainly best described as 'rustic', absent any redemptive charm. The floor is carpet-less, gritty, terra cotta tiles. The mattress is thin without a box spring. The bathroom was marginal, at best, with a slow draining, three foot square shower, a pedestal sink, and a toilet. Understand that you won't be staying in accommodations fit for the Castello's original owner, but that family's service staff, instead. Overall the property looks a little run down and tired. I had to smile seeing the fountain depicted on Trip Advisor's home page for the Castello. Upon arriving what you'll find in its place is a fetid, stagnant, 'pond' full of algae and dirty water. It's maintenance things like that, that you'll repeatedly notice throughout your stay that impart an overall feeling that the Castello could certainly use refreshing. As for service, staying at the Castello Di Serragiumenta is a lot like visiting a long lost, distant, relative in Italy, meeting him or her upon arrival, and then never seeing him again. Beyond the two maids we saw daily, and the grounds staff landscaping or setting up for an event, there is no staff, to speak of. That you might be able to avail yourself of the various agriculturally related tours that are promoted on the Castello's website, unlike in most similar places, you're going to have to work to set that up. Once there, nothing is promoted. And understand that this is not some idyllic Tuscan family farm. The Castello Di Serragiumenta property is first and foremost a large, modern, agricultural enterprise. The Castello is surrounded by expansive acres of olive trees, grape vines, and orchards devoted to commercial production. I saved the biggest disappointment for last: the restaurant. I saw some previous reviewer cite the 'Michelin Star' worthy cuisine and couldn't help but wonder if he or she had ever bee

Beautiful hotel in a great rural location not too far from the motorway. The building is an amazingly historical hotel which has been tastefully improved to make it extremely comfortable but still retain its character and splendour. Our room was large and spacious with all the facilities you would expect from a top quality hotel.

Il castello di SERRAGIUMENTA è un luogo magico dove un elegante giardino fa da cornice ad una dimora del sedicesimo secolo le cui torri e le due prestigiose scale sulla facciata principale ne esaltano la bellezza. Al suo interno i saloni arredati con gusto raccontano storie di vita vera regalando un' atmosfera familiare e accogliente . Incantevoli sono i proprietari Rita e Paolo che con la loro ospitalità trasmettono un grande amore e passione per la loro terra la Calabria esaltando il gusto dei loro prodotti tutti a km zero e donando agli ospiti momenti di puro relax. Innumerevoli le cose da fare tra passeggiate a cavallo, tour in bicicletta, visite alla cantina con assaggi dei loro vini o alla scoperta degli animali per assistere alla schiusa delle uova fino ad un piacevole bagno in piscina a sfioro su una distesa di ulivi meravigliosa. Un posto dove non puoi non lasciarci il cuore e dove torneremo sicuramente.

Il 16 settembre 23 mia figlia Rossana si è sposata ed insieme allo sposo hanno scelto come location per il ricevimento di nozze il "Castello di Serragiumenta" . È stato tutto perfetto dall'accoglienza ai dolci. Il menù vario, abbondante e ottimo. Lo staff gentile, accogliente e attento. La proprietaria, la sig.ra Rita, gentilissima e sempre sorridente. Un'atmosfera magica che solo un castello ti può regalare. Ancora oggi ricevo i complimenti da parte degli invitati. Non avremmo potuto chiedere di meglio. Grazie

Posto bellissimo. Cibo ottimo. Personale gentilissimo e molto professionale. Il Castello veramente bello e suggestivo, con vista mozzafiato sulla campagna circostante. Le camere del castello molto belle e ricche di storia e oggetti antichi. Un parco verde e arredato benissimo. Il ristorante la Voliera molto carino e arredato in modo semplice che richiama la campagna e le piante del posto. Le foto del sito sono tutte reali e veritiere. Consigliatissimo

Sono stato invitato ad un matrimonio il 2 settembre 2023, leggendo le recensioni ero entusiasta prima di arrivare sul posto. Indicazioni per arrivare nessuna, il navigatore ci guida in una mulattiera nella quale l'auto si riga nelle frasche e arriviamo in un fiume , torniamo indietro e fra mille peripezie riusciamo ad arrivare sul posto. parcheggio in uno sterrato e le scarpe diventano bianche dalla polvere. Aperitivo da chiosco di fiera il cibo freddo di caldo nulla esperienza da dimenticare non lo consiglio neanche al mio peggior nemico.
