“Il Castello di San Michele ci ha conquistato dal primo momento in cui abbiamo varcato la soglia. Un castello a tutti gli effetti ma di tipo "domiciliare" dove sentirsi a casa non è una scelta, è una sensazione che ti accompagna dal momento in cui metti piede nella cucina di famiglia dove il camino è il sovrano indiscusso, salendo le scale in pietra per accedere alle stanze, una più bella dell'altra. Noi abbiamo alloggiato nella suite di Montholon , probabilmente la più suggestiva del castello, accanto alla sala reale. La vista dalla terrazza verandata sulla valle dei calanchi sottostante è semplicemente meravigliosa, e da lì si ha l'accesso alla terrazza scoperta da cui si può intravedere anche la piscina esterna. Alloggiare al castello di san Michele equivale a fare un tuffo nella storia delle famiglie passate che si sono succedute in questo castello e trascorrere lì qualche giorno ti fa sentire come parte di essa. La signora Tuija che si occupa dell'accoglienza è una persona squisita e ci ha fatto sentire davvero coccolati. Esperienza unica!”
“Esperienza unica, trovarsi catapultati in un palazzo storico/ castello, con tutti i confort contemporanei. Abbiamo pernottato io ed altri amici e poi…scoprire che eravamo gli unici vacanzieri all’interno del castello. Spazi unici, cucina attrezzatissima che ci ha permesso di prepararci una fantastica aperi/cena , con prodotti comprati nell’unico ma fornito alimenti del piccolo Borgo e poi, la magnifica terrazza coperta/scoperta con affaccio sui Calanchi, panorama mozzafiato. Questa a mio dire , è stata un’esperienza che con il resto della Cricca rifaremo sicuramente! consiglio vivamente a tutti quelli che cercano Un’atmosfera magica, che riporti indietro nel tempo.”
“Occorre riconoscere il merito dei nuovi proprietari francesi Cecile e Pierre del castello di San Michele che stanno riportando in vita un edificio storico estremamente affascinante. Ma il grande valore aggiunto è la governante Giorgina la vera anima del Castello che con la sua ospitalità e cortesia ti fa sentire a tuo agio. I lavori di restauro e ristrutturazione si susseguono dando lustro non solo al castello ma anche al delizioso paese di San Michele in Teverina. Purtroppo è difficile trovare degli investitori italiani così appassionati di arte e bellezza come i proprietari del castello a cui va il nostro plauso e un grazie riconoscente. Ogni volta che veniamo per brevi vacanze nel castello ammiriamo la cultura e il profondo interesse per l’arte storia e cultura italiane che traspaiono anche dagli splendidi libri e riviste sparsi un po’ ovunque nel castello. A poca distanza le meraviglie di Tarquinia, Tuscania, Viterbo, le ville rinascimentali di Caprarola Villa Farnese e Villa Lante a Bagnaia, i laghi vulcanici di Bolsena, Vico e Bracciano.”
“Amazing place combining history, luxury and best of class hospitality. The bedrooms / apartments are huge, the garden is enchanting, and the infinity swimming pool has such an amazing view on the Lazio countryside.”
“Un très bel endroit, le logement était très bien équipé et moderne. Nous avons vraiment apprécié le jacuzzi et la disponibilité de la magnifique piscine du château. Petit point négatif : le bruit des jeunes sur la place le soir et une partie de la nuit avec leurs motos/scooters”
“A gem. Classic and beautifully appointed. If you are planing a visit to SacroBosco or Civita (the dead city) or if you are considering a wedding venue This is an authentic palace form another time and era. Magical.”
“Incredibly beautiful place to stay. Very peaceful village. The swimming pools are a godsend in the heat. Everything very clean and the breakfast is delicious.”
“The castle is amazing. While it doesn't look like much from the front, the property is huge. There is a ton of history and beautiful architecture, decoration, and furniture throughout. We had the Deluxe King Suite and it was amazing. It was actually 5 large rooms and a bathroom on the second floor. You have access to a large kitchen on the first floor with two refrigerators, a stove, oven, microwave, and dishwasher, as well as the dining room and common room. There is also a beautiful patio and sun room on the second floor. The pool is unheated but looks new and very clean. There is also a hot tub kept at 37°C/99°F. The host and housekeeper were both very friendly. Breakfast (if chosen) is typical European serving (breads/pastries/cold meats/cereal/yogurt/fruit). It is a bit out of the way, but castles were chosen for their vantage points, not convenience. Definitely recommend having a car if you plan to stay”
