This hotel is a beautiful historical building in the quaint and very charming town of Castrocaro Terme with a great Spa facility. If you are anywhere in the region between Northern Tuscany and Romagna, this is the place to stay. The hotel was recently renovated but has kept its original charm. The facilities are first class, the service is impeccable and the setting with manicured gardens and parks is just splendid. Highly recommended.
There are plenty of interesting places to visit in the neighborhood. This region has a strong and excellent gastronomic tradition and you cannot go wrong in any restaurant.

We stayed at the hotel during the Rally delle 3 Valli event. As we arrived at the hotel, the baggage handler was ready to help us with our luggage eventhogh we did not have much to carry. The check in was smooth and quick, eventhough the hotel seemed full. We where escorted to our room wich had splendid view. The room was clean, the bath amenities where of good quality. The bed was confortable and we liked the linen.
We booked a couples massage at the spa and we also used the gym, the staff was very friendly and helpfull, the facilities where imaculate. We decided to have diner at the restaurant (Ristorantino) we noticed the consistency of good service, food and the verall restaurant experience was delightfull. As we where leaving the restatuant we where greeted by the general manager who was very friendly and inquired us about our stay at the hotel.
We really enjoyed our experience and would defenetly recomend this hotel Spa to others!

Our son was born in May 2006 and was just about old enough to fly with us for a short Summer break away in August. We went to the web, searched Ryanair for a cheap flight and found a bargain flight to Bologna. In typical Ryanair style, we found that what they called Bologna, was in fact Forli. But not to worry; further investigation revealed that although 50 or so kilometres down the autostrada from Bologna, it was well situated close to Rimini, San Marino and Ravenna.
So the next step was finding a hotel nearby. We struck gold on Last Minute.com with the Grand Hotel Castrocaro at Castrocaro Terme, offering 4 star luxury at just £34 a night! Not each...for the room, including a fantastic buffet breakfast!
The hotel was a design classic, an Art Deco building of 1939 vintage, restored to retain all its features in 2000. We were given a lovely large room, high ceilinged, beautiful decor, lovely furnishings, marble in the bathroom, very comfortable.
The hotel has lovely parkland around it, with both outside and inside pools. The town is also very pretty, clean and tidy, with lots of flowers everywhere, in common with lots of Spa towns.
We hired a little Fiat Panda diesel from Hertz at the airport (£19 a day) and in 8 days had visited Bologna twice, Venice and Florence, Rimini, Milano Marritimo, Ravenna, San Marino and many other delightful places within reasonable travelling distance. A fantastic stay and a memorable holiday.

The price? Although August is the busiest and most expensive time to holiday there, I can only surmise that because it is inland and a Spa resort hotel, it is low season for them. Normal price is more like £80 / £100 a room.

The service was very good, as well as the food. Their breakfast offers unlimited choice, and you can have it over wonderful views over the park. Th emanagement was flexible enough to allow me to leave my suitcare at their reception desk after having checked out. The live music at the bar is an added bonus. On the down side: room 170 doesn't have a good view; the receptionist seemed unwilling to take telephone messages for me while I wasn't in my room. Overall a good stay though.
