Golden Celebration
This was the most exquisite place we have ever stayed in. Everything was picture book perfect- and we were treated like royalty! Be sure to go into the castle garden and smell the rose named “Golden Celebration.” It has the best scent ever and was a fitting reminder of our golden anniversary! We highly recommend the history tour for an even richer experience!

Amazing building, gardens and history. Lovely staff. Food great, but portions small. The singular for ravioli is raviolo, so I would suggest taking something for a midnight snack, you may need it.
