"As you approach this former castle, the medieval stone architecture makes quite an impression. The décor is a little dated, but the pool, gardens, and views of Tivoli more than make up for it. The location—a five-minute drive outside of town—is ideal for travelers who want a convenient, upscale stay from which to explore the hilltop village of Tivoli, the former summer retreat for ancient Romans and Renaissance-era moneyed folk." - Laura Itzkowitz, Arlene Gibbs
"How did it strike you on arrival?As you approach this former castle, the medieval stone architecture makes quite an impression. The décor is a little dated, but the pool, gardens, and views of Tivoli more than make up for it. The location—a five-minute drive outside of town—is ideal for travelers who want a countryside set-up. What’s the crowd like?The majority of guests are just like you: tourists who want a convenient, upscale stay as they explore the hilltop village of Tivoli, formerly a summer retreat for the ancient Romans. Tell us about your room.The rooms and suites are done up in a traditional Old World style, with damask wallpaper, heavy drapes, and patterned carpets. They could definitely use a refresh, but are adequate if you're not planning to spend much time in your room. How's the Wi-Fi.There's Wi-Fi in the common areas, but not in the rooms. Anything stand out about other services and features?There's parking on-site, so take advantage of your rental car and go out for dinner: Ristorante La Sibilla, or one of the other trattorias in town, offers a more memorable meal than the on-site restaurant. Bottom line: worth it, and why?This hotel is a convenient option if you need a place to crash in Tivoli, but not quite as five-star as other Italian countryside hotels. I would only recommend staying here if you're planning to spend most of your time out and about." - Laura Itzkowitz
