Sorry we are closed. Despite google claiming it to be open, it was closed, obviously already for some time. The main building is in good shape from the outside, however a construction site around it.

Very nice castle. Attention to detail. Beautiful interior decor. The modern that approaches the historian with such good taste. The garden is beautiful. SPA under construction. Very courteous staff. Recommended.

Splendid structure for events or just to spend a couple of hours immersed in peace. In the historic residence there is the resort, the cafeteria, the restaurant, the wine shop and shops selling organic products. The bar is recommended for breakfasts, lunch breaks or aperitifs. The wine shop is full of wines from all over Italy, the menu includes platters of local cured meats and cheeses. Advised!

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
