  Interesting building, nice location but desperately in need of care and attention

  We stopped off for one night on our drive down to Umbria. This is an old, traditional type of castle with impressive interior. It is set in some lovely grounds in a quiet location not too far from the motorway. However it is in desperate need of renovation to bring it back up to the level it deserves. We had a junior suite (Migliara) where both the room and bathroom were large. The floor standing, antiquated air-conditioning unit was extremely noisy and made no impact on the very high temperatures which remained at an extremely uncomfortable 28°C. In fact the whole building is extremely poorly ventilated, remaining hot and stuffy. We remained in the hotel for dinner, which was a disappointing experience. As per other reviews it is clear that their major business comes from wedding receptions. This is understandable but meant that whilst we were there we had no access to the garden so had to take our pre-dinner drinks in the dark and very hot downstairs eating area. Provision should be made that at least some part of the garden is available to guests even if a wedding reception is taking place. The menu choice was poor and overcomplicated with the resulting food being bland and not at all up to the quality of Italian cuisine. It would be much better to have a simple menu of traditional Italian dishes made from local ingredients. The wine list was similarly disappointing. Breakfast, taken in the same downstairs eating area also provided a poor selection and quality. A shame that such an impressive building, set in a lovely location, is let down by its run down state. We were due to stay one night on our return journey but cancelled due to this initial very disappointing experience.

  Memorable castle destination

  We have stayed twice at the Castello di Oviglio. Found it by chance the first time, and made a point to come back. Rooms are fabulous, massive, hugely high ceilings, modern and well equipped bathrooms, some with jacuzzis. Each one is different, a bit quirky but excellent value. The property is very quiet with its own large grounds and in a small village. The 4 course dinner was superb, it a bit overly copious for most of us. The first course of steak tartare with seasonal white truffles was a meal in itself - and then there were three more courses! It seems to be primarily a wedding venue, but if there is no wedding, then it is a lovely place for a romantic weekend or a get away with friends.

  Experience history

  What an awesome Blessing it was to stay in the Castle Oviglio hotel for two days. Dating back to the 1300's surrounded by a quint Oviglio Village situated in the Italian wine region. A perfect fusion - past and the present. Staff is very friend and helpful. Nice breakfast with good strong Italian coffee. Rooms and bathrooms are big and spacious.

  COLD LIKE HELL!!! MARVELOUS RESTAURANT - EAT BUT DONT SLEEP

  I booked this hotel because looked nice on internet. Rooms are nice but you should go only in summer. The room was so cold that I got ill and Im still healing. I went to dinner in the restaurant and is very good to recommend. I would go there for dinner or launch but not to sleep. This Experience made me much more cautious about hotels because this disappointed me. What disappointed me even more that when I said about it at checkout they didt even apologize... Last night I was in Alessandria for business again (as I will be at least 4-5 times per year in the future) but I went to another hotel even if this one is better positioned for my needes because I dont trust the room will be warm.

  A different experience

  This castle has only 7 rooms and suites. There is absolutely nothing in the small town of Oviglio so you stay at the hotel and use it as base to visits in the wine districts around here. The hotel is super good. We had an enormous apartment for good money. Everything was superb. Restaurant prices is a steal, I had the best beef filet with wine sauce that I have ever experienced in Italy (22 euros). Wine list is not long, but very priceworthy. Superior wines from the area for 25 euros.
