I'm writing this review from my balcony of the hotel. Villa Castagnola it's a very grand a old luxury hotel. Although I prefer modern hotels. I am very much enjoying my stay. The staff are very helpful and service is great. Then food is excellent and the rooms are spacious and well appointed. I do feel like I've travelled back in time, but in a good way. Staying here makes me feel like I could be on set of an Italian movie or Vogue photo shoot. My husband and I did not get to bed till very late so asked out breakfast to be brought up to our room. They usually stop serving at 11:00 but were kind enough to bring us our food at 12:00. We order egg white omelettes and porridge, both were not on the menu, so we were very pleased with how accommodating the kitchen was. We ate on the balcony over looking the beautiful grounds with palm trees, lake and mountain peek. It's a stunning view to wake up to. If you like classic luxury I would definitely recommend this hotel.
