This hotel offers a unique experience, allowing guests to stay in a historic royal residence with imposing towers, blending the charm of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance with modern amenities.

Imposing Architecture and History of Nobility

The castle, classified as a Historic Monument, stands out for its defensive architecture and its elegant Renaissance façades. Its massive towers and inner courtyard testify to its past as a ducal residence, offering a rich and evocative historical setting for every visitor.
