Castello dell'Aquila: Medieval Historic Residence (14th Century) in Lunigiana, Charming Resort with Panoramic Pool, Wellness Spa, Traditional Restaurant, and Romantic Glamping
Castello dell'Aquila is a majestic historic residence dating back to the 14th century, beautifully preserved and nestled in the green hills of Lunigiana, near the village of Gragnola (Fivizzano). This resort offers a unique stay that combines historical charm and medieval architecture (with exposed stone walls and antique furnishings) with a romantic atmosphere and modern luxury services. The property is renowned for its holistic approach to wellness and its vast "Parco delle Meraviglie" (Park of Wonders).
Rooms and Suites: Historic Stay and Romantic Glamping
Guests can choose from different types of accommodation: Classic Rooms, Superior Rooms, and Suites within the Castle walls. The rooms are characterized by antique-style furnishings, exposed stone walls, and an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. A particularly romantic option is Glamping, with marvelous eco-lodges (Luxury Tents) in the park, complete with every comfort and, sometimes, featuring a Private Outdoor Hot Tub, chromotherapy, and emotional showers.
Dining and Local Flavours
The on-site Restaurant, located within the castle, invites guests on a culinary journey through the tradition of Lunigiana and Tuscany, with dishes that highlight local flavours and genuine ingredients. Guests particularly appreciate the Sunset Apericena (Aperitif-Dinner) experiences on the panoramic terrace. A bar/lounge service (sometimes with Oriental influences) is available, and a Continental or Italian Breakfast rich in local specialties is offered. The castle's shop offers typical "zero-kilometre" products from Lunigiana.
Relaxation and Wellness: Spa and Panoramic Pool
The heart of the relaxation services is the wellness area, which includes a Seasonal Outdoor Pool in a panoramic position, often described as an "Infinity Pool" or "with a view," and surrounded by sun loungers. The resort also features a Wellness Centre (Spa) with a Sauna, Hot Tub/Jacuzzi, and the possibility of booking various treatments and massages (such as deep tissue and Swedish). A "wellness path" immersed in nature is offered, and yoga lessons are available upon request.
Unique Experiences and Additional Services
The property stands out for its vast Parco Elisir D'Amore/Park of Wonders, an enchanted garden offering nature trails, themed artistic installations (hearts, flamingos), labyrinths, and dozens of unique Experiences, some free (such as visiting the Butterfly House, meeting the Alpacas, or the Fairy Woods) and others paid. The hotel also offers Free Parking, Free Wi-Fi, meeting and banquet rooms (ideal for Weddings and Ceremonies), and convenient transfer access (for a fee) to the nearby Gragnola train station.
