I found it closed (Saturday 12pm) and honestly I didn't understand where the main entrance was, I saw several gates but they were closed. I followed the driveway to the summit where I found a parking lot. Externally it looks nice and with a nice view

It was nice. There are many stairs and the road is smooth.

Beautiful castle, interesting and rich in history, which houses a small museum of antiquities and curiosities also on the Ruffo family. From its ramparts and walls, you can admire enchanting views of the Sicilian Ionian coast, both to the north and to the south. The two employees were competent and courteous: the discussion that ensued was pleasant and Carmen's story about Macalda di Scaletta, a historical character who lived in the XIII century, was in many ways singular. The castle is worth a visit: about an hour of relaxing visit to a suggestive place.

4. 9. 2021 (delayed review). The way to the castle is difficult to find, below the castle we had to ask how to continue. The castle is impressive and we were shown around by two lovely people. Just the stuffed heads of animals are quite disgusting, but once upon a time animals were butchered for such purposes - hunting trophies. In the CZE, we have many castles and chateaux full of such brutal trophies. The exterior and surroundings of the castle are more worth it. More youtube travel video PSIS-visit. Iva +Petr CZE Prague

I had already visited the Rufo Ruffo castle years ago, today I returned with friends. Mrs. Carmen was there to welcome us at the ticket office. Very kind and prepared, even if she did not have the "obligation" to be our guide, she explained the fascinating history of the castle in detail, going into detail and describing everything we would find inside the rooms. Beautiful experience, I highly recommend to come and visit this castle / fortress to say the least amazing. Many congratulations for the love he puts into his work to Mrs. Carmen ❤️
