One never knows what to expect when visiting a castle from the middle-ages but I will say that the experience far exceeded what I could have imagined. The rooms were spacious, updated with all the modern conveniences and the beds were extremely comfortable. The castle and grounds were in impeccable condition. One could stroll within the walled gardens, picking ripe oranges right from the tree, taking in the fresh beautiful smells of herb gardens inside the castle walls and imagine how things were before the busy world of the digital age. Even though I tended to stay with the group during my visit, we had the entire use of the castle and it was always easy enough to explore and find a quiet personal place to sit and rest privately or to read a book. Many thanks for an outstanding holiday: it ranks as one of the best in my lifetime!!!
