The Castello del Capitano delle Artiglierie is not just a hotel, but a beautifully preserved historic Renaissance residence dating back to 1564, and an integral part of the fortified "ideal city" of Terra del Sole, commissioned by Cosimo I de' Medici. Located a short distance from Castrocaro Terme, this private property offers a unique stay experience, immersing guests in the atmosphere and luxury of a bygone era, among frescoed halls, original coffered ceilings, and a panoramic view of the Romagna hills.
The Castle offers few but exclusive suites and rooms furnished with antique furniture, fine fabrics, and details that evoke its illustrious history. Each accommodation is designed to offer maximum comfort in a historical setting: the original 16th-century coffered ceilings harmonize with modern amenities such as air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The King Suite with Hot Tub is particularly sought after, offering moments of absolute relaxation with a view over the large park.
The food and wine experience is curated and focused on enhancing the Romagna tradition. Within the Castle, or in dedicated spaces, the Osteria del Castello (or catering services) operates, offering typical local and regional dishes with an author's touch. Dinners take place in suggestive settings like the Hall with the coffered ceiling or the Enoteca (wine cellar), rich in fine local wines. Breakfast, served buffet or Italian style, includes fresh local products.
The Castello del Capitano delle Artiglierie is renowned as an exclusive venue for weddings, ceremonies, and conferences. The spacious external areas, including a lush one-hectare park and panoramic terraces, combine with historic internal halls like the scenic Loggia dei Cavalieri. The property is authorized for the celebration of the Official Civil Ceremony on site, making it a complete choice for a dream event, with the availability of a private disco club until late at night.
Although the Castle is a dive into history, comforts for well-being are not lacking. In addition to the jacuzzi available in some suites, guests can take advantage of on-request services such as massages and treatments in the wellness area. The location is strategic for discovering the area: the Castle is a stone's throw from the renowned Castrocaro Thermal Baths and is an ideal starting point for hiking or cycling in the nearby Casentinesi Forests National Park, or for visiting the art cities of Romagna such as Ravenna and Forlì.

His Opinion: Anna was the most gracious host. She was patient with my limited Italian and I enjoyed communicating with her.
Anna prepared a huge, fresh breakfast table for us each morning and her recommendations for dinner were memorable Italian dining experiences on our trip.

His Opinion: La signora Anna ti fa sentire proprio come un re e una regina!
È talmente alto il livello della location e dell'accoglienza che proprio volendo trovare 1 appunto si può migliorare la qualità della colazione da ottimo a eccellente utilizzando ancora di più prodotti artigianali locali. Ma è proprio il pelo nell'uovo!
