Guest Reviews
- Philippe (9/5): Magnifique -
- Peter (10/5): -
- JOMAIN (9/5): Très belle expérience mais le restaurant n’est pas à la hauteur des attentes - Le décor du château sur les vignes et la décoration authentique liée au confort moderne. Peu de rangement et pas de lampe de chevet de chaque côté du lit
- Verena (9/5): -
- Claude (6/5): Bel établissement mais nous n y retournerions plus - Lieux très bien rénové Petit déjeuner très succinct, personnel du matin ne parlant pas anglais , lors de l accueil pas de présentation des services de l hôtel
- Alan (8/5): Relax piovoso - Bella struttura, camera grande e spaziosa, staff molto gentile. Molto buoni anche i vini e la cucina.
- Simone (9/5): -
- Mauro (9/5): - Location molto piacevole. Staff attento ad ogni esigenza Colazione organizzabile in modo migliore
- Stephan (10/5): Gerne beim nächsten Mal wieder hier! - Das Frühstück ist bei einer 0..10 Bewertung eine klare 11 :) Kleines Buffet UND a la Carte mit nahezu allem was das Herz begehrt. Lage ist traumhaft - logischerweise kein Blick auf den See - der ist zu weit weg...
Personal überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Ausstattung und Räumlichkeiten sehr beeindruckend. DIe Heizung war zunächst noch im Winterbetrieb; konnte dann aber von den Mitarbeitern behoben werden ;)

- Sara (9/5): - Posizione e comodità Nulla
- Gintare (10/5): - Posto meraviglioso, incantevole, tutto è perfetto, il servizio è eccellente, la pulizia è da 10 e lode, le camere sono regali, e la vista dalla finestra vale un milione.
- Daljit (10/5): -
- stephen (10/5): - Beautifully renovated building in stunning grounds. Very welcoming staff.
- Enrico (9/5): - Camera eccezionale, spaziosa, accoglienza con biglietto scritto a mano Degustazione vini un po’ lasciati a noi stessi

- Peter (10/5): -
- Marina (10/5): - Historical Castel from 12th century, modernized and completely renovated. Comfortably situated near Lago Iseo. If you like rural landscapes and wineries it is perfect place to spend there weekend or even more.
- Giovanna (8/5): Generali😉 - La tranquillità ma la vicinanza al lago La cimice in bagno 🤣
- Nicoletta (8/5): Relaxing escape - Beautiful property, very spacious rooms and friendly welcome (with a good bottle of wine in the room). The location is a bit outside any major center, you need the car to move anywhere.
Breakfast is nice but all non sweet choices are not for free.
- Andreas (10/5): - A beautiful vineyard with a stunning view. The accommodation is very tastefully decorated and in excellent condition; everything is spotlessly clean and the staff are absolutely professional. Highly recommended – we’ll definitely be back. Thank you very much.
- Nicole (10/5): Schöner Aufenthalt in einem tollem Gebäude - Tolles altes Gebäude, geschmackvoll renoviert. Das Frühstück kann man individuell bestellen. Unser Zimmer war der groß und gemütlich.
Man läuft in 20 min zum See.
- Justas (10/5): Unique experience - You can not wish anything better. Very unique experience, modern apartments, wonderful views, tasty wine. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
- Benjamin (10/5): -
- Florini (10/5): O loc de vizitat, fara ezitare! - O locatie autentica, cu multa istorie, printre vii, acolo inca se face vin, design feosebit, conform ridicat, o piscina de vis, mancare ca la Chef, atmosfera elevata di distinsa. Felicitari!
- Benoist (10/5): Exceptionnel - Nous sommes arrivés en soirée, à la nuit tombée, et déjà le charme opérait… Un chemin délicatement éclairé nous a guidés à travers les vignes jusqu’à l’entrée de cette magnifique propriété, annonçant une expérience hors du temps.
L’accueil fut particulièrement chaleureux et attentionné. La bâtisse, d’inspiration médiévale, a été restaurée avec une grande finesse, alliant avec subtilité le respect de l’histoire et une touche de design contemporain.
Nous avons eu le plaisir de déguster un dîner préparé avec beaucoup de délicatesse, accompagné de plusieurs vins de la propriété, tous remarquables. Un véritable moment de plaisir.
La chambre, spacieuse et parfaitement décorée, s’inscrit dans cette même harmonie : un lieu propice à l’apaisement et à la sérénité.
Au réveil, la découverte du cadre environnant fut tout simplement magique : la propriété est entourée de vignes, avec en toile de fond de douces collines et un lac qui sublime le paysage.
Le petit déjeuner, délicieux, mettait à l’honneur des produits faits maison, venant parfaire ce séjour d’exception.
Une adresse rare, portée par un accueil sincèrement chaleureux et bienveillant. Nous y reviendrons sans hésiter.
- FABIO (10/5): -
- Umberto (7/5): Nel complesso, gli darei il più che sufficiente - Struttura carina, ben riqualificata, immersa nel verde Per essere chiamata resort deve migliorare su parecchie cose. L’visualizzazione delle camere non è all’altezza, qualche pecca anche sulla manutenzione, la ristorazione decisamente da rivedere
- Viktors (9/5): -
- Cornelia (9/5): - Gutes Restaurant am Abend im Haus.
Tolles Frühstück.
Überall wurden schöne, hochwertige Materialien verwendet. Schöne Lage in mitten von Rebbergen und Nähe Lage D‘Iseo
Wir würden wiederkommen und auch unseren Freunden weiter empfehlen. Nichts!
- giulio (7/5): Camere top, ristorante da evitare! - Camere spaziose, pulite e molto curate, staff cordiale ed attento ai dettagli Non cenate mai al ristorante, terribile! Prezzi senza senso, peccato perché la struttura é bella.
- Klaus (5/5): - Zimmer sehr groß und gemütlich Bad 🛁 sehr geräumig.
Essen war sehr gut. Das Personal hat uns beim Empfang erst garnicht beachtet und sehr unfreundlich zum Zimmer begleitet und fast am ender der Treppe nachgefragt ob er den Koffer von meiner Frau tragen soll 🤣
Essen gut aber sehr teuer 2 Personen mit Vorspeise und nur eine Nachspeise und 2 Gläser Wein 🍷 129€🫣.
Kühlschrank wie schon ein Gast geschrieben hat ,in der Nacht Geräusche macht , haben wir vorgesorgt und den Stecker gezogen 💪
Frühstück wenig Auswahl zusätzlich Eier oder Käse Wurst musste man obwohl Frühstück inbegriffen war, zahlen 😡
Die Kellnerin musste man suchen , obwohl der Empfang am Frühstückbereich war und gesehen haben das wir warten , wurden wir einfach ignoriert 🤔

- camilla (9/5): - Ho soggiornato una notte al Podere Castel Merlo Resort e mi sono trovata molto bene. La struttura è curata e l’atmosfera è davvero piacevole e rilassante. Il personale è stato molto gentile e accogliente; al nostro arrivo ci hanno anche offerto una bottiglia di vino, un gesto molto apprezzato.
Buona anche la colazione, in parte à la carte e in parte a buffet: non enorme ma con prodotti di qualità. Un posto in cui tornerei volentieri. nulla
- Guno (10/5): Originally - Location -

- Christian (10/5): sehr schönes Anwesen, sehr gute Preis-/Leistung - ausgerechnetes Anwesen keine Klimaanlage
- Nina (10/5): - The perfect vineyard castle - truly like a slice of heaven. The hotel was warm, very personal, clean, and charmingly decorated, making it feel instantly welcoming. The location made it easy to explore the town, and the staff were lovely, friendly, and always helpful. We felt genuinely well looked after and would happily stay here again.

- Naomi (9/5): Beautiful hotel in the middle of vineyards with a fabulous restaurant! - Gorgeous hotel in the middle of vineyards. Our room was large with a wonderful shower and great views. The restaurant was amazing including breakfast and we loved the cellar tour. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. More light in the room.
- Stephane (8/5): Belle demeure - L’ambiance du lieu,le décor très reposant. Un générateur électrique avec un moteur très bruyant dégageant une odeur de diesel a fonctionné toute la nuit à 20 mètres de notre chambre …. Impossible d’ouvrir la fenêtre….
Le petit déjeuner moyen et très long car à la carte…
- Serra (10/5): -
- Sylvia (5/5): -
- Olivia (8/5): Romantic hideaway with incredible style - We really loved our stay at Podere Castel Merlo Resort – it’s honestly one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed! The hotel is beautifully decorated and set in a truly stunning location; the grounds themselves are absolutely gorgeous. The staff were wonderful, and as we were visiting for our honeymoon, they very kindly upgraded our room and gifted us a bottle of their local wine to celebrate – such a thoughtful and special touch.
The resort offers a peaceful, luxurious atmosphere, with a pool available for guests (though we didn’t use it) and breakfast included. The hotel also seems to be a popular venue for conferences – there were a few held during our stay – though this didn’t affect the peaceful atmosphere at all.
Overall, we had a truly relaxing and luxurious stay, and would absolutely recommend Podere Castel Merlo Resort to anyone looking for a beautiful, tranquil escape – just be aware that it’s a quiet spot with limited things to do nearby. The breakfast was a little underwhelming – there were pastries and cereals available, but cooked items such as eggs came at an additional cost, which felt a bit surprising given how high-end everything else was. The only other downside is that there isn’t a great deal to do in the immediate area. We drove out to Lake Iseo, which was lovely, but most other attractions require a bit of a drive.
- Wolf E. (10/5): Sehr schönes und toll modernisiertes altes Weingut - Ich hatte einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt auf meinem Weg mit dem Fahrrad nach Bologna. Leider war das Restaurant an diesem Tag geschlossen. Gerne hätte ich dort gegessen. Ich habe allerdings eine fantastische und sehr liebevoll zubereitete kalte Platte bekommen.
