Hotel Il Castello

“Went twice”

We visited il Castello a second time on our way back because of its beautiful location, the easy reservation and check in. The evening staff is polite and very helpful. The rooms are absolutely ok for that price and you can get a good dinner. All hygiene measurements are in compliance acc COVID 19

“Peace and Quiet in Pozzolengo”

Stayed here for a week end of August. Pozzolengo itself is a ghost town, very peaceful and quiet. A few shops/limited restaurants 2 or 3 etc, but thats exactly what we wanted. We only went for a walk around town one night, and literally only saw a handful of people. If you're going to stay here I'd… more

Stayed here for a week end of August. Pozzolengo itself is a ghost town, very peaceful and quiet. A few shops/limited restaurants 2 or 3 etc, but thats exactly what we wanted. We only went for a walk around town one night, and literally only saw a handful of people. If you're going to stay here I'd recommend having a car as you are only 30 mins away from Sirmione and Bardelino where you can enjoy your evenings. If you don't fancy eating at the hotel. The hotel rooms could do with a refurb, but as this was a last minute booking and we knew it would be 3 star, we weren't surprised, that said, they were ok, rooms serviced everyday etc. and for us, they were literally where we slept as we spent most days doing something. The hotel and restaurant staff were lovely and really friendly. The breakfast was European but not restricted, enough of a of choice. The lunch and evening meal menu's were limited, we liked everything on there so it was great for us (one teenager with us) and the food was very good quality (Great Pizzas) The swimming pool and pool area are very clean, a restricted number of sunbeds but as its the type of hotel where guests are usually doing things, the days that we chose to sunbathe, there were beds available. Usually gets busy when people return from their days out late afternoon/evening. Location wise your an hour and a half to 2 hours from Venice, 1 hour from Verona, 30 mins from Sirmione, Bardelino and Gardaland. We thought the location with a car was perfect. We could enjoy the peace of the hotel/Pozzolengo and then drive in to enjoy the nightlife of Sirmione. Would we stay here again.......yes, without question. A lovely peaceful little hotel on a hill with pleasant views amongst the vineyards and cornfields. The hotel does have some sort of Gym/Spa but we didn't try any of this.

“Holiday”

When we arrived the room we had was very basic. The lovely receptionist was able to upgrade us to a better room for 90 euros for the week. It was very clean and had a lovely balcony with a view. Pool area is beautiful! Most of the staff were very friendly and accommodating. However, one evening we… more

When we arrived the room we had was very basic. The lovely receptionist was able to upgrade us to a better room for 90 euros for the week. It was very clean and had a lovely balcony with a view. Pool area is beautiful! Most of the staff were very friendly and accommodating. However, one evening we ordered drinks from the manager and after asking twice we left after 25 minutes still not receiving them. We went to a local bar and returned about an hour later when the drinks were then brought over and sat at the table. No apology. Nothing mentioned. The manager seemed to have priorities wrong. He spent most of the night filming customers for what I can only presume was a fb page for the hotel, instead of helping his staff to serve customers. The food was delicious! Beautiful very quiet village so I recommend a car as it’s about 30 euros down to the lake. Gardaland was great! Overall a lovely stay in a peaceful tranquil setting.

Stayed here for 1 week during August. Positives: + Friendly staff + Flexible on half board (moving between lunch or dinner) + Clean pool / pool area + Pretty village Negatives - Average bedroom - Food can get a bit bland - Small pool area / not enough sunbeds - Limited choice in village I would recommend a stay at the hotel however probably for a few days as after one week, you'd be bored of the food and lack of choice/activity in Pozzolengo. If you have a car then it's easy enough to drive to Lake Garda or Verona which is stunning.
