Castello Di Semivicoli

l'autenticita' del castello e come è conservato

Wir waren zwei Nächte im Castello di Semivicoli und haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Castello ist ein wunderschöner, besonderer Ort mit viel Charme, Geschichte und Atmosphäre. Die Zimmer waren sehr schön, sauber, speziell und stilvoll eingerichtet. Auch die Lage ist traumhaft und ideal, wenn man Ruhe und ein authentisches Ambiente sucht. Hervorheben möchten wir auch das hervorragende Essen im Castello — sowohl das Dinner als auch das Frühstück waren ausgezeichnet. Der Empfang war freundlich und wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Für uns war es ein ganz besonderer Aufenthalt, den wir gerne weiterempfehlen.

The castle itself is a remarkable setting — a beautifully and sensitively restored historic residence owned by the Masciarelli wine dynasty, one of Abruzzo's most respected producers. The renovation preserves the original character while adding every modern comfort. Rooms are spacious and elegantly appointed, each with minibar, Wi-Fi, and television. The views are exceptional — sweeping vistas across the Abruzzo hills. Reception was handled by Sharon, who speaks Portuguese — a particularly welcome and personal touch that made the welcome feel all the more natural and attentive. The wine tasting conducted by Pietro was an outstanding experience — knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely memorable. A highlight of the entire stay. Breakfast is very good— fresh, local, and unhurried. The bread, croissants, and homemade jams are exceptional. The swimming pool, surrounded by olive trees, is a beautiful and tranquil space — ideal for unwinding between excursions. A lift is available within the castle, making access to upper floors straightforward. The stairs are very uneven. Estate wines can be purchased directly on site at very reasonable prices.

The bathroom is open to the bedroom with no separate door or effective light barrier — turning on the bathroom light at night illuminates the entire room, making it impossible for one person to use it without disturbing the other. The bathroom basin has an unusual shape that causes water to splash outward when the tap is turned on, wetting the surrounding surfaces and anyone standing at the sink. A functional design issue that should be easy to address. There is no air conditioning in the room. In the warmer months this is a genuine limitation — particularly at night — and worth checking when booking. Anyway, the thick castle wall help! The television is very small for the size of the room — noticeably out of proportion with the space and the overall standard of the property. The minibar is very compact and does not produce ice. Ice must be requested at reception — a minor inconvenience, but one worth knowing about in advance. The car park is an 80-metre walk from reception, and no assistance with luggage is offered on arrival. Worth planning for if travelling with heavy cases. The gravel path at the entrance is uneven — take care on arrival, particularly in the dark or with wheeled luggage.

Tutto!

Vi älskade Castello di semivicoli! Personalen var så trevlig, miljön fantastisk och sviten högst upp var otrolig. Vi åt god mat och drack mycket gott vin med en trevlig guide som berättade om platsen och vinerna. Vi vill gärna komma tillbaka och då timea in när poolomårdet är öppet.

Excelente experiência para quem busca se hospedar em um hotel que foge do convencional. O Semivicoli é um castelo muito bem preservado, que mantém móveis e decoração da época sem abrir mão do luxo e do conforto necessários para uma boa hospedagem.

A falta de informação sobre restaurantes na região,.porém esse problema foi resolvido quando descobrirmos o Le Neviera a 10km do hotel.
