What guests think
La Riserva di Castel d'Appio- Charme & Relax delivers sweeping hilltop views in a retro, historic setting, with a serene pool and a restaurant many enjoy, but reaching it involves steep, narrow roads and a fairly remote location.
Staff are widely praised for being friendly, attentive and accommodating. Rooms range from spacious sea-view suites to smaller, dated spaces that would benefit from a refresh. Prices for food and drinks can feel high. Best for travelers who value charm and scenery over convenience.

L'hôtel est remarquablement bien situé. La route qui l'y amène est peut-être un peu stressante (étroite, très pentue et peu de visibilité). Le personnel est charmant et l'établissement également. La suite familiale a deux chambres, l'une avec un grand lit, l'autre avec deux lits jumeaux. Nous avions également un beau rez-de-jardin clôturé où nos chiens pouvaient se tenir en toute sécurité. La vue est époustouflante. La cuisine du restaurant est de bonne qualité. La piscine est très grande. Le séjour a été très agréable et très reposant.

Très bon Acceuil une belle bâtisse avec beaucoup de caractère dans un très beau cadre une belle vue sur Ventimiglia Le personnel est vraiment serviables un petit déjeuner très copieux il est dommage que la météo n était pas au rendez-vous pour profiter de la piscine et de la terrasse Le côté négatif est l accès un chemin très étroit où il faut anticiper car par endroits il est impossible de se croiser Et les moustiques eux étaient au rendez-vous

Overall just ok stay. Our was very old and dated, almost felt like sleeping in my clothes. Pool area run down and need remodeling. Service very friendly and fast. There is no other place to eat but their restaurant and food was not bad. Worst part is to get there….you need to be very skillful driver to climb that mountain all the way up.

Skønt beliggende klassisk hotel med imødekommende, charmerende og hjælpsom personale. Vi nød særligt den bjergtagende udsigt samt dejlige pool. Restauranten serverer god mad og er besøg værd. Et andet highlight er betjeningen til morgenmaden. Værd opmærksom på, at hotellet er lidt slidt - dog på en autentisk måde samt køreturen de sidste kilometer på små veje. Anbefalinger herfra.

Ein wahrhaft magischer Ort. Aus der Zeit gefallen und dennoch - nein, gerade deswegen, so schön! Alain Delon Style. Bitte immer so bewahren! Der Blick hinab, das Essen dabei sensationell gut (für meinen Geschmack der einzige Kritikpunkt: zu teuer) - mehr braucht man nicht. Pool Top, Emilio beim Frühstück der Beste. Ich komme wieder! 5 volle Sterne plus 2

Charmerende, hyggeligt, autentisk. Fantastisk udsigt, dog lidt lille, smal vej op til hotellet, men det vænner man sig til. Virkelig søde mennesker og alt hvad man har behov for på en afslappede ferie. Perfekt poolområde, god restaurant og morgenmad. Nemt at tage på dagsture fx til Menton og Monaco og flotte strande under 10 min væk.

Koselig hotell, selv om det merkes at det er noen år gammelt. Litt upraktisk om man ikke har bil da taxi er vanskelig å finne og veien er dårlig. God service. Bassenget er fint. Mat og drikke er i overkant dyrt. Maten er god, men utvalget kunne vært litt bredere.

Skøn tidslomme. Værelse med perfekt udsigt til vandet. Vejen dertil er dog noget besværlig. Restaurant ok. Det ville være rart med hynder til solvogne, så man ikke skal ligge direkte på den hårde plastic solvogn. Vil absolut tage dertil igen.

Kortste weg naar terras en zwembad maag niet door restaurant je moet een stuk omlopen. Ontbijt wordt niet goed bijgevuld. Continue jaren 30 muziek vind ik irritant.

Posizione incantevole. Ristorante ottima qualità. Personale molto gentile. Ottima pulizia. Peccato che le camere siano state riammodernate parzialmente. Ne ho avuta una con sanitari vecchi che non scaricavano bene e rubinetteria parecchio consumata oltre a porte e serramenti vecchissimi vecchissimi che non trattengono alcun rumore esterno. Cuscini poco confortevoli.

the property offers stunning views of the coastline. the access road is down right dangerous and narrow. the staff was extremely nice, in season, this hotel outdoor dining must be amazing, food was good, breakfast buffet was great. The hotel could use a fresh coat of paint and some renovations, it looks a little rundown in places (grounds)and some areas of the hotel seem to be condemned. overall, we enjoyed the view and calmness of the place, the graciousness of the staff and the amazing views.

La subida hasta la ubicación muy incómoda por el tipo de carretera, muy estrecha con muchísimas curvas muy cerradas. El hotel no tiene accensor. Éramos tres adultos y solo había útiles de baño para dos, También solo dos vasos para bebidas. El personal agradable. El entorno muy bonito y las vistas increíbles! Lo valoro de forma positiva aunque el precio demasiado alto para el lugar.

Rooms
Rooms vary widely: some spacious sea-view suites are comfortable, while several standard rooms feel small and dated with firm beds and worn fittings. Decor is rustic and old-world rather than modern.

This hotel has the most amazing views. We had the family suite which was spacious and great for our family. The restaurant was good for dinner. I would contact the hotel before you arrive to find the best way up the hill. Our navigation took us up the steepest, narrowest way and it was a bit harrowing.

A bit off the beaten path but the views were stunning, the room was spacious, the service was outstanding, and breakfast was solid too. Yes this is an older property that could use a refresh, but for the money it can’t be beat. Note the map on Apple didn’t take us all the way to the property but there are signs along the way so keep driving - gated entry to parking right off the street near the top of the hill - can’t miss it.

Service was good, be mindful this hotel is at the top of what is essentially a mountain. The drive up and down is actually scary to the point of wanting to avoid coming and going from the hotel. However There are no shops or restaurants within walking distance of the hotel therefore it can feel a bit isolating. Taxis are £25 euro each way into the local town. The food and drinks at the hotel is expensive and you will be charged 5 euro for a bottle of water which seems crazy and roughly 8/9 euros for a class of wine. The breakfast was lovely, lots of options and service was very good. The main attraction to this hotel is the view which is stunning. The pool area is also very nice and clean. It is overall pretty expensive but you are paying for the view. It is a family run establishment and the staff are always friendly and accommodating. We read the previous comments about the drive up to the hotel before booking but really could not appreciate just how unpleasant this was until we had to do it ourselves and how restrictive it made our stay. Overall nice hotel if you can stomach the drive. Pretty expensive. The mattress was also pretty hard and uncomfortable but got used to it after a few nights.

The woman at the front desk was so friendly and incredibly helpful in pointing us in the direction of so many interesting and beautiful sites. It’s out of the main town area but easily accessible by taxi and the view is spectacular and worth the drive. staff were gracious and welcoming.

Location
Dramatic hilltop setting offers spectacular coastal views, but access is via steep, narrow, winding roads. It is outside town, so taxis or a car are often needed and some guests felt isolated.

This hotel has the most amazing views. We had the family suite which was spacious and great for our family. The restaurant was good for dinner. I would contact the hotel before you arrive to find the best way up the hill. Our navigation took us up the steepest, narrowest way and it was a bit harrowing.

A bit off the beaten path but the views were stunning, the room was spacious, the service was outstanding, and breakfast was solid too. Yes this is an older property that could use a refresh, but for the money it can’t be beat. Note the map on Apple didn’t take us all the way to the property but there are signs along the way so keep driving - gated entry to parking right off the street near the top of the hill - can’t miss it.

L'hôtel est remarquablement bien situé. La route qui l'y amène est peut-être un peu stressante (étroite, très pentue et peu de visibilité). Le personnel est charmant et l'établissement également. La suite familiale a deux chambres, l'une avec un grand lit, l'autre avec deux lits jumeaux. Nous avions également un beau rez-de-jardin clôturé où nos chiens pouvaient se tenir en toute sécurité. La vue est époustouflante. La cuisine du restaurant est de bonne qualité. La piscine est très grande. Le séjour a été très agréable et très reposant.

Service was good, be mindful this hotel is at the top of what is essentially a mountain. The drive up and down is actually scary to the point of wanting to avoid coming and going from the hotel. However There are no shops or restaurants within walking distance of the hotel therefore it can feel a bit isolating. Taxis are £25 euro each way into the local town. The food and drinks at the hotel is expensive and you will be charged 5 euro for a bottle of water which seems crazy and roughly 8/9 euros for a class of wine. The breakfast was lovely, lots of options and service was very good. The main attraction to this hotel is the view which is stunning. The pool area is also very nice and clean. It is overall pretty expensive but you are paying for the view. It is a family run establishment and the staff are always friendly and accommodating. We read the previous comments about the drive up to the hotel before booking but really could not appreciate just how unpleasant this was until we had to do it ourselves and how restrictive it made our stay. Overall nice hotel if you can stomach the drive. Pretty expensive. The mattress was also pretty hard and uncomfortable but got used to it after a few nights.

The hotel is like a page from the history books! So unique and rich with character. The woman at the front desk was so friendly and incredibly helpful in pointing us in the direction of so many interesting and beautiful sites. It’s out of the main town area but easily accessible by taxi and the view is spectacular and worth the drive. staff were gracious and welcoming.

Koselig hotell, selv om det merkes at det er noen år gammelt. Litt upraktisk om man ikke har bil da taxi er vanskelig å finne og veien er dårlig. God service. Bassenget er fint. Mat og drikke er i overkant dyrt. Maten er god, men utvalget kunne vært litt bredere.

La subida hasta la ubicación muy incómoda por el tipo de carretera, muy estrecha con muchísimas curvas muy cerradas. El hotel no tiene accensor. Éramos tres adultos y solo había útiles de baño para dos, También solo dos vasos para bebidas. El personal agradable. El entorno muy bonito y las vistas increíbles! Lo valoro de forma positiva aunque el precio demasiado alto para el lugar.

Unbelievable beauty, and wonderful cuisine. On a hilltop Pool looked great but weather was too cool. Welcoming staff. Photos online Do not convey the uniqueness.

Skønt beliggende klassisk hotel med imødekommende, charmerende og hjælpsom personale. Vi nød særligt den bjergtagende udsigt samt dejlige pool. Restauranten serverer god mad og er besøg værd. Et andet highlight er betjeningen til morgenmaden. Værd opmærksom på, at hotellet er lidt slidt - dog på en autentisk måde samt køreturen de sidste kilometer på små veje. Anbefalinger herfra.

Ein wahrhaft magischer Ort. Aus der Zeit gefallen und dennoch - nein, gerade deswegen, so schön! Alain Delon Style. Bitte immer so bewahren! Der Blick hinab, das Essen dabei sensationell gut (für meinen Geschmack der einzige Kritikpunkt: zu teuer) - mehr braucht man nicht. Pool Top, Emilio beim Frühstück der Beste. Ich komme wieder! 5 volle Sterne plus 2

Charmerende, hyggeligt, autentisk. Fantastisk udsigt, dog lidt lille, smal vej op til hotellet, men det vænner man sig til. Virkelig søde mennesker og alt hvad man har behov for på en afslappede ferie. Perfekt poolområde, god restaurant og morgenmad. Nemt at tage på dagsture fx til Menton og Monaco og flotte strande under 10 min væk.
