Luxury travellers could try castle hotels
Friday, March 05, 2010Imaginative travellers looking for a slice of luxury on their next trip may want to consider staying in one of Europe's top castle hotels, following comments from TripAdvisor.
The company stated: "From medieval manors to regal retreats, staying in a castle is a fascinating way to experience history first-hand, while treating yourself to a beautiful weekend away at the same time."
And according to the firm's editors and travellers, France, Spain and Italy contain some of the grandest places to reside while on holiday.
Chateau des Ormeaux in the Loire Valley, France, stands close to the region's vineyards and offers visitors magnificent views across the valley, as well as antique room furnishings.
In addition, the Castelletto di Montebenichi, situated in Bucine, Italy, is equally luxurious, thanks to its setting among olive groves, vineyards and stunning Tuscan surroundings.
Furthermore, imaginative explorers might be interested in staying in the ninth century Parador de Cardona in Cardona, Spain, the company advised.
Cardona sits north-west of Barcelona, with the nearest airport approximately 100 kilometres away.
