The beautiful sights and sounds of la dolce vita come to mind when dreaming of a stint in sun-kissed Italy—and there is hardly a better way to experience the country's quaint magnificence than from a medieval castle. Just a few miles from the Adriatic Sea in Valconca Valley, on the border of the Romagna and Marche regions, stands Relais Palazzo Viviani, a stunning fortress that once played residence to the royal family. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and offering spectacular panoramic views of historic sites, small churches and the glimmering sea, Palazzo Viviani (a part of Castello di Montegridolfo) features eight elegant, antique-filled suites that offer a gateway to an authentically luxurious escape.

We've just returned from a four night stay in this astonishing location. The hotel is set within the grounds of a restored castle and village on a mountain top. It is like living in a movie set, with exceptional views in every direction. The breakfasts were first class. The two restaurants in the castle were both excellent and good value. We used the hotel as a base to see the MotoGP at Misano and to visit Tavullia, which it was perfect for (you can see Tavullia from the hotel). The staff were super helpful. Exceptional quality at a very reasonable price.

I have slept in this hotel only for one night, my boyfriend got it as a birthday surprise for me. We were warmly welcomed by the girl for the check in. The hotel is located in the beautiful castle of Montegridolfo. Very nicely decorated and clean our suite was in the tower overlooking all the hamlet and the surrounding hills. Our room was really impressive and it felt like being in a fairy tail. There is also a beautiful garden with a swimming pool overlooking the countryside which was very enjoyable. Because of the new Covid rules there was no buffet breakfast but we could still choose for homemade cakes and biscuits, croissants and tea and cappuccino. Would surely recommend this place, it’s unique in its charm.

Borgo incantevole, stanze eleganti e suggestive. Cucina strepitosa, da degustare nel borgo, fuori dell'hotel. Angoli lettura accoglienti e riservati. Arredamento storico.

Birgo degli Ulivi camera 115, orribile la manutenzione: doccia cadutami in testa appena arrivati. Maniglia porta entrata rotta e costantemente mi rimaneva in mano quindi chiusa in camera e trafficare per uscire. Segnalato il tutto ma......sistenata solo la doccia. Trovo che un pochino piu'di attenzione in piccole cose serva a voi e a chi soggiorna da voi. Non si deve rispondere LEI E' PROPRIO SFORTUNATA CON LA CAMERA. Onestamente mi si chiedeva di cambiare stanza, ma nkn sapevo cosa aspettarmi e rimasti dove eravamo. Suamo tornati dopo tanti anni, all'epoca alloggjavamo a Palazzo Viviani, volevamo festeggjare i 49 anni di matrimonio, ma purtroppo non c'era posto, ci siamo adattati.

Un emplacement magique … ne suffit pas. Une chambre « deluxe » certes vaste mais pas de hauteur sous plafond ( ma tête s’en souvient) et des fenêtres ridicules qui obligent à allumer en permanence. Un accueil « standard » pour ne pas être impoli sans aucune chaleur. Pas d’aide pour les bagages pour une chambre au deuxième étages sans ascenseur. Heureusement qu’une femme incroyable vous accueille le matin avec un petit déjeuner magique. Enfin préférez 100 fois le bistrot à l’entrée de la citadelle plutôt que l’osteria de la hôtel.
