It was very special to be able to stay at Rifugio Della Rocca. It was a unique place, right at the top of the mountain, about a 10 minute hike from the beautiful castle. It is very remote, so once you get to the top (either by car or by shuttle), you probably won't be leaving. You could drive or shuttle back down to the town of Calascio if you like, but it is busy, and they recommended we didn't leave with our car so that we wouldn't lose our parking spot. Either way, for 1 or 2 days, there's no reason to leave. It's a cute little town at the top of the mountain, and the views are spectacular. Giorgio was very helpful, and even helped us carry our luggage around the (lots of hills and slippery cobblestone streets). The included breakfast was simple but nice. The room was simple and rustic. Everything is built from the old stone buildings of the town, and retrofitted for modern use. Don't expect a fancy 5 star stay, but it gives you everything you need. Also, if you are tall, be careful because I hit my head on many doorways in the town, as well as the bathroom doorway of our room. Overall it was a nice stay.

The Staff was very nice, and helpful. That is what really saves this review. Let me be clear, this very quiet town is truly a step back in time, and the location to the Castle is want makes it desireable especially if you want to see how things were from the 16th century. The place was clean so that isn't our issue, the issues we had were that we paid for a king bed and got 3 twin beds, not the end of the world but the beds are extremely small and we are not big people. my 12 yr old daughter fell out of the bed as it was so tight. Our biggest complaint was the bedding. It was like trying to sleep on a hard floor with thin flat pillows. It was the longest night of our 12 day trip and no one could get comfortable. The views and hike to the castle was what made it worth this uncomfortable sleeping arrangements. The food was great there and people were very nice. My suggestions to would be, keep the rooms as they are and spend some money on upgrading the bedding and it would have been a much much better experience. Also, the lack of Dinning, there are options but I would recommend letting guest know that from 2:30 to 7:00 pm there is nothing open for Food or Drinks. As we arrived at 2:30pm and found out after so we had to drive 30 mins away after asking some of the locals what was open to find something to eat and drink. again, would not have been an issue if we knew as we would have stopped for that on our way from Rome.

Rustic accommodations. The bed was hard. The internet did not work. But the staff was friendly and the simple breakfast had fresh baked bread.

You live in the ruins of a castle. The entrance door for the room is so narrow you have to enter sideways.

Außergewöhnlich

Die Übernachtung ist absolut außergewöhnlich. Die traumhafte Lage auf dem Berg und die tolle Burgruine, alles atemberaubend. Die Unterkunft ist sehr rustikal und urtümlich. Unsere Reise im Winter machte das Ganze besonders abenteuerlich. Die Umgebung zauberhaft mit Schnee, die Unterkunft, das Restaurant und das Frühstücksgebäude allerdings auch kalt. Wir konnten und mussten in unserem Zimmer zusätzlich einen Holzofen anfeuern. Das Personal war ausgesprochen nett und hilfsbereit. Alles in Allem: Ein Erlebnis!
