“Castagnola's villa calm”
Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola is a wonderful home-away-from-home stay — a grand yet cozy property that feels like an aristocrat's immaculate villa, a spacious silent garden-level room set back from the road, a good-sized pool guests often had to themselves, a garden that is a haven of peace, very kind family-like staff whose service went above and beyond, and a location that made everything easy; one guest is in love. Caveats though: one found the air conditioning old and under-cooling plus an average breakfast, and another judged rooms and service merely met expectations for the amount paid — fine, but they would not rebook on the same terms.
