Relais Castello San Giuseppe a Chiaverano

Me and my friends booked a few rooms for one night, as part of a special weekend celebration, and from the moment we arrived I realised that the place was going to exceed my expectations. The location is pleasantly remote, at the top of a green hill with gorgeous views on the valley and on the lake. The building is surrounded by very nice gardens of botanicals herbs and ancient trees, with plenty of nice spaces for you to enjoy the outdoor area, including the absolutely gorgeous pools with panoramic view and a cool cocktail bar next to them. The building itself is incredibly picturesque: you get the historical feeling with old wooden doors and unique bricks walls which make you feel like you are in a real ancient castle. However, every room looks recently painted, clean, and elegant, which give a final touch of freshness and brightness. The lovely Patrizia in reception welcomed us with sweetness and gave us several great recommendations too for the local places to visit. I would highly recommend Castello San Giuseppe!

Totally not family friendly. We booked 1 night and precised we have a 1 year old baby so they provide a baby crib. The crib was broken, there was loud music until 2am. The fridge didn’t work and in the morning there was no running water... We wanted to leave early (7am), there was no one at the reception desk and we couldn’t find anyone from the staff until nearly 8am. It was impossible to leave the castle since it was locked, so we couldn’t even get to the parking to pack our stuff. What would happen in an emergency?? Worst hotel experience

Fantastic service in an unbelievable atmosphere. Napoleon stayed here! Food was amazing. The views of the valleys and castles was extraordinarily.
