Exceptional: we went with high expectations having read and seen a fair bit about the retreat, and these guys exceeded them in every single way. From the personal, friendly and informative welcome service to the large, spacious, beautifully-decorated rooms, the awesome restaurant (Cantina) service and Michelin-star food quality, to the beautiful pools and generous breakfast served outside in the courtyard, everything was amazing. I cannot recommend the place highly enough. We will undoubtedly return (but for more than one night next time!) Castel Monastero!
