Castello Camemi

Beautiful property and overall wonderful experience. One serious downside was lack of a shower. We had a spacious room (13 I think) but it had only a tub with a handheld nozzle for hairwashing. No shower curtain. Needless to say, we were not successful at bathing body and head without spraying bathroom. And when I asked for extra towels (having used ours to clean up flooding) we got one new one. Not a good scene. Most of the rooms have showers though. Otherwise a beautiful property with wonderful food and wine.

Located in a very quiet and isolated area, with beautiful gardens and a very impressive inner court yard. The outer gardens are green, with beautiful plants, well maintained and can host garden or pool parties. The restaurant is beautifully arranged with soft arches, big windows, the staff is very attentive but overall a bit too expensive for what it has to offer. The inside hall and the rooms are cold looking, outdated and kind of spooky, not really matching the luxury displayed in the advertising pictures but I guess a castle is supposed to be like this...The road from the gate to the castle is badly maintained and the occasionally repaired potholes are signalled by 2 plastic containers. The cactuses at the balconies aren't giving a welcoming look but more of a hostile one. Due to it's high altitude location, I believe it can be a very good and cool place to be in the middle of the summer when temperatures are a bit too high elsewhere. I would say this castle is excellent for a trip back in time, for events or group gatherings and less suitable for couples. As a solo traveller, I would completely avoid this hotel, it might feel extremely lonely...Definitely not a 5 star hotel, neither a 5 star experience.

Castello immerso in un panorama fatto di terra arida e pale eoliche che ricordano i mulini a vento di Don Chisciotte. Ambiente molto elegante che rispecchia in tutto e per tutto l' entroterra siciliano. Sono stata invitata ad un matrimonio pomeridiano e tutto è stato impeccabile: dall' accoglienza all' eleganza della cerimonia civile, allestimento di luci serali, al tovagliato. Il buffet, la cena e i dolci non sono all' altezza della location; buffet di antipasti sotto la media rispetto a molti catering così come la cena. Torta nuziale senza sapore, dolci con eccessiva quantità di zucchero. Un vero peccato!!

Abbiamo celebrato il nostro matrimonio a fine Luglio presso il castello. Esperienza unica per noi e per i nostri invitati. Impeccabile la professionalità di tutto lo staff; un ringraziamento particolare ad Anna, Santo, e l’inimitanile Nunzia che ci ha seguiti passo dopo passo. Consigliatissimo
