Castle Elvira

A cleaning tax is not included in the reservation price and is payable separately at the hotel.

Mandatory gala dinner fees may apply at Italy hotels. Guests should contact the hotel directly for more information.

So, you can’t smuggle some of the museum-piece vintage finds home from the hotel, but you can legitimately buy authentic artworks, artisan homewares, clothing and handicrafts. Or just tell staff your tastes and they’ll curate a selection of goods for you to browse.

The castle might be vintage but it has a red-glass-lined elevator (dubbed the ‘Chanel-evator’) to take you to all floors.
