Castello di Rivalta, Gazzola

This hotel is very nice and worked well for us since we were traveling on a motorcycle. It rained for the few days we stayed so having the restaurant and lounge on site meant we didn't get wet trying to find a meal or a drink. You can tour the old castle but you will need to book in advance if you need an English guide. Tour packages start at 14 euro person and 35 euro for the English guide that lasts an hour and a half then the tours go up in price and substance after that. If there is one thing I did find quite disappointing was for the price we paid to stay the breakfast was very limited and plain. So if you want quaint and romantic this place is nice. If you're on a budget but are thinking of spending some extra cash to stay here I would say search around the area then come sightseeing. Safe Travels

gorgeous ancient castle. had a lovely visit, a historian took us to see some of the rooms although the family still lives there. I particularly appreciated the 17th century games and toys and the armours hall.
