Took the tour and had a quick bite. Special thanks to Hector's hospitality and purring therapy.

Extremely beautiful views on the positive side. The rest of it is a mix of kitsch, poorly maintained grounds and a lot of confusing restoration directions. We left the place confused. It is still worth visiting.

Great Location but the place is not properly taken care of... Took the waiter a long time to come to the table... Botched serving lunch as he gave my food to another person on another table... Then brought the wrong food for me.... Can happen... I know... but none of the staff looked particularly interested... Sorry guys... That was not your greatest day!! View from the castle is spectacular...

We found it by accident on Booking.com.We were in between events and had the whole castle to ourselves.Mario spoke fluent English,took care of us from arrival to departure. Service was excellent as was food and accomodation. We may return as a destination rather than a mere stop over. Highly suggest visiting, definately worth visiting.

Cool medival castle Hotel, tavern etc. Interesting artsy touches... Mobile data... Good luck ... If you want some tec-detox, creaking floors, romantic dinner and tight windy staircases.... Unbeatable unique experience! Shower was great, amenities up to date! Not "roughing it" Absolutely great!

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
