What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Excellent hotel at a completely renovated family estate. Beautiful surroundings on the exterior and interior. Lovely breakfast. Very quiet place and great for relaxation outside of Milan. Nearby wineries and other agrotourism spots are worth visiting.”
“We had a wonderful recharge at Il Casale Denari during our road trip from the UK to Greece. The estate is beautiful, and the service was exceptional. Alin at the restaurant recommended some delicious specialties and took great care of us. Alessandro, the sommelier and manager, suggested a fantastic Pinot Nero and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. Since we had to leave early the next morning and missed breakfast, he kindly arranged a packed breakfast waiting for us outside our room. The overall experience left us with a great aftertaste—spot-on service, beautiful surroundings, and warm hospitality. We would definitely return!”
“Fabulous stay! The place is gorgeous, the staff very accommodating & they have a high quality restaurant. What else could we ask for a getaway in Italy?”
“When traveling in the north of Italy I always try to stop here. Very beautiful places, excellent service, restaurant. The rooms are clean, spacious. The price/quality ratio is top.”
“Amazing place - will come back asap and can only re-confirm all positive reviews prior. If there is one thing with room for improvement, it’s the breakfast. Other than the rest of the hotel, breakfast is pretty average / with less attention to detail. Will come back soon though hopefully”
“We stayed for two nights and had one dinner at the hotel. It is an ancient monastery, converted into a high quality resort and spa. Hotel rooms are all different - as it is an old conversion of a monastery - but done in a very good taste, and few additional rooms are under construction. The SPA is basic and nice The gardens are breathtaking Breakfast is very good BUT The highlight was the dinner - simply great!”
“Very nice hotel, beautiful landscape, spacious rooms, large pool. Friendly & welcoming service, delicious breakfast on terrace. Very nice hotel in beautiful countryside with spacious rooms and large pool. Drinks (cheap or partly free) and fruits (free) for self-service. We also had a delicious dinner at the hotel and fine breakfast on the beautiful terrace. Also great is a huge covered balcony with seating.”
