This is a unique hotel, perched on the hilltop of Montesano village. It has old charm and lots of character. Our room was spacious and with castle-themed furniture. We had a private terrace patio which was huge and offered a spectacular view across the area. The girl at the reception, Elsa, was very kind and informative. We had dinner at the restaurant of the hotel and it was delicious. We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is a hidden gem. Parking at the property is free.

We enjoyed our visit here very much but mostly for personal reasons. Most of the staff speak little or no English but were very polite and with my wife's limited Italian we were able to get by. Hotel facilities are very good considering how off the tourist path we were. Restaurant menu is very limited and nothing special. There are not many other options without a significant drive. But the town and Valley are beautiful.

AMAZING PLACE!

This was an amazing place! The rooms were comfortable, the view was amazing, the breakfast was good and the cappuccinos were wonderful. The staff was very accommodating and went out of their way to help us communicate, since we didn't speak much Italian. The area was so quaint and we had a great time. We would definitely recommend this hotel!

You'll be staying in a beautiful castle with pretty much everything one could wish for: spacious rooms and bathrooms, a nice spa area, an excellent restaurant, and friendly owners and staff. The view from our bedroom terrace was the best I've ever seen!!! I'd be more than happy to go back and make the hotel my permanent residence :)

Palazzo d'epoca collocato in un territorio spesso sconosciuto, ma amabile,ricco di bellezza, affascinante e accogliente.L'edificio,ristrutturato rispettando l'architettura originaria è pulito, curato,arredato con gusto, amato da chi lo gestisce.Non numerose le stanze, , ma proprio per questo l'hotel si mostra raccolto, accogliente e a dimensione del viaggiatore attento e non dozzinale.Il valore aggiunto, però è nelle persone presenti in questo luogo:professionisti premurosi, attenti, disponibili e accoglienti:non ci hanno fatto mancare nulla:siamo stati accolti, coccolati , curati e ci siamo sentiti come fossimo a casa nostra, in un ambiente genuino e privo inutili "orpelli". Abbiamo provato la piscina della spa, ben tenuta e pulita, abbiamo cenato più volte presso il ristorante dove ci sono stati proposti menù vari e rispettosi della tradizione eno-gastronomica della zona.Insomma, un posto dove tornare per ..riconciliarsi con il mondo!! Un ringraziamento particolare per la generosa Direzione e per la receptionist , signorina Michela , che con garbo e professionalità, si è presa cura di noi consigliandoci con competenza i prodotti locali migliori e soprattutto gestendo con prontezza , intelligenza e gentilezza la restituzione di un cellulare dimenticato in camera nell'andar via . Torneremo di certo e al più presto!! GraziePiù

Hôtel normalement paisible sauf que nous étions a priori les seules de l'hôtel à ne pas être de la même famille. Les enfants criaient dans les couloirs et dans les chambres jusqu'à 1h du matin sans que rien ne se passe au niveau de la direction de l'hôtel ce qui est fort dommage. nous aurions dû rester 2 jours et au final notre séjour s'écourte mail hôtel nous a rembourser la nuit non passée Sinon les chambres sont propres et refaites a priori de peu. Petit déjeuner très correct.

A very nice acquaintance

This hotel is a pearl. Situated in the middle of nowhere on the top of a mountain in a small very sleepy town. The hotel has newly been refurbished in a very tasteful way with respect for the "castle" history and age. The reception was very welcoming and personal and the restaurant / kitchen delivered a delicious dinner and the morning breakfast as well. Definitely worth a visit. Also the small town although there isn't much to see it has it's charm.

Hotel particolare in contesto molto tranquillo

Hotel gradevole, personale gentile e cena completa a prezzo molto competitivo, con prodotti di qualita'. Il personale e' molto accogliente e gentile. Per rendere la struttura una eccellenza nel suo genere, sarebbero necessari piccoli accorgimenti, quali: -dotare le stanze di un getta carte e di un frigobar: -montare nel bagno un paio di gancetti per gli asciugamani e magari sostituire gli asciugamani in tessuto, con altri in spugna. Infine, la prima colazione non risulta, a mio avviso, adeguata al livello della Struttura. Mi e' sembrata molto poco assortita, con assoluta assenza di salato. Per il resto e' un Hotel in cui si sta molto bene.

Sehr schönes Hotel mit Blick auf Valle di Diano. Das Personal was sehr freundlich. Das Hotel ist ein kleines schloss, sehr gut gepflegt, und es verfügt sogar einen neuen Aufzug. Kleinen aber sehr schönen Frühstucksraum. Das Früstuck war okay mit viele Früchte, Kuchen, Brot, Salami, u.a.. Das Zimmer war groß (wir waren 3 Personen). Klima und Heizung haben gut funktioniert. Das Zimmer hatte auch einen wunderschönen Blick zum Valle. Für mich das einzige was besser sein könnte, wäre die zu kleine Duschkabine. Trotz dem gebe ich die 5 Sterne.

ESTREMAMENTE SODDISFATTI

Per il ponte del 2giugno ,abbiamo scelto il Vallo di DIANO e cercando una buona sistemazione ci siamo imbattuti in questo hotel. Devo dire che veramente è stata una bellissima sorpresa, Palazzo Cestari è un palazzo del 1400 ,perfettamente restaurato con tutti i confort moderni ma con mobili e utensili dell'epoca. Il personale è stato molto accogliente e disponibile. Le camere grandi e confortevoli , la nostra aveva il soffitto di travi , mentre quella di mia figlia un tetto a volte di pietra, meravigliose.La vista è panoramica su tutto il Vallo ed il silenzio è assoluto.Un piacevole surplus, per chi arriva stanco dal viaggio è la piscina riscaldata molto scenografica e con colori cangianti.Da consigliare assolutamente la cena in hotel , per la qualità dei piatti per la quantità e infine per il prezzo molto competitivo e comprensivo di bevande . Per concludere ,un hotel di Charme e Relax ad un prezzo ottimo e competitivo. Da ritornare con gli amici.
