Ristorante Sansovino - CastelBrando In Follina

Only seen from the outside but beautiful

I spent Christmas Eve with my boyfriend in a splendid hotel, with attention to the smallest details. Impeccable location, food and staff. We will definitely be back!

Castle with attention to every detail, especially the spa which makes the stay special! We had dinner in the restaurant taking advantage of the "living a fairytale" package, which was overall good.

Excellent experience, one of the best castles in north-eastern Italy

Extraordinary and ancient residence, full of charm. The ancient Roman castrum from 46 AD, which later became a fortress and fiefdom, owes its current structure to the Brandolini family (who owned the castle for 5 centuries), which was then entirely restored and converted into a luxury hotel by the Colomban family, the current owners. Inside there are 50 rooms of great historical charm, three theatres, conference spaces, two restaurants and a fabulous wellness area, the Princess Spa with an indoor swimming pool which in my opinion was extraordinary for the relaxation I experienced. It is an absolutely magical place, the staff very professional and courteous (the breakfast was excellent and of high quality!). I would like to point out the beautiful nativity scene made with wood from the park and forest of the castle by the sculptor Pietro Comellere, and the majestic Christmas tree, a living cedar that is now 200 years old! Important: you can reach the castle with the funicular which leaves from the spacious car park in the town and reaches the top of the fortress in less than 2 minutes! In the photos I attach, the departure of the funicular and the castle souvenir shop, the Castelbrando Shop.

Location, attentive staff and overall experience was good, however, the bed is honestly one of the worst I’ve ever stayed in. The mattress and pillows were actually hard and waking up in pain is not what expect from a €200 per night room. I would return to explore more of the walking trails, local town and enjoy food and drink here, however, I wouldn’t stay here again. Absolutely not worth the high price we paid from a comfort perspective. It’s definitely not a 4 star accommodation.

A place that really deserves it; We didn't stay overnight but had lunch at the restaurant (very good) and used the spa which is very impressive and well maintained. However, I recommend reviewing the time to be able to use the service, three and a half hours is very little, and reviewing the spaces or the 'shift change moment' of the too small and unsupported booths.

This is an absolutely stunning hotel. The service is impeccable. They encourage guest to enjoy the grounds. There are plenty of things for a castle lover, such as myself to enjoy. From a bar with excellent seasonal drinks, a great spa, or just exploring the history of the castle.

Pretty incredible place. Well maintained and so much to explore. Excellent food.

We spent a pleasant Sunday in Cison di Valmarino. The guided tour of the castle starts at 10.30 or 14.00. It was very interesting, the guide told us many curiosities and the history of the castle. The castle has rooms, a spa and a restaurant.
