Rooms

"Come and stay with us!

Each room hides a secret


My ideal client is the one who asks me about wi-fi connection after half a day spent in nature... that means that they were completely involved in the Scuderia Castello experience. And that's a lot - Giovanni Zambiasi Every room has its own private bathroom, all of the rooms except for one have a balcony or terrace with a view over the Garda lake and Mount Baldo.

The Lemon Room


Many years ago The Lemon Room was taken by a lady who came here desperate because she found out her husband cheated on her with a younger woman.

She asked to stay as long as it took her to heal her pain and, during the following three months, her pain turned into revenge and it happened the lady had still her former husband credit cards.

She wildly shopped and to these days everybody can remember her leaving just before Christmas: her Volkswagen Golf full of shopping bags and a rented van with a driver stocked with stuff (designer bags and wine bottles). 


It seems that sleeping for as little as three nights in this room provokes compulsive shopping attacks, that's why we recommend to bring with you only prepaid credit cards... just in case, y'know... 

The Pomegranate Room


During the first opening year, The Pomegranate Room was rented by a beautiful woman who came by herself wanting to spend pleasing hours riding horses and eating our delicious food.

This particular room had a pink colored set which – by unknown reasons – every night would move to the next room which was instead decorated with a green set: pink pillow in the green room or green blanket in the pink room.

That went on for a week.

Nobody ever found out why it kept on happening because the green room was occupied by a devoted and shy priest.

The holy man left in the middle of his staying when also his sock and underwear were found in The Pomegranate Room, leaving the attractive woman alone with her mystery.


"Still these days we suggest that our guests keep their underwear and blankets in the locked wardrobe so they don't have to knock on the neighbor's door in the morning."

The Orange Room


The Orange Room has a peculiar corner unknown by most of our customers. There's a French window and another little window through which the light illuminates a nook, a space seemingly not functional.

First at realizing its magic was a German doctor.

He was in his eighties and loved spending time reading books. He asked to move the old wicker chair in this nook and enjoyed his reading there for hours and days. Between the pages he used to peek out the window where he would see the Church of Gaino dedicated to Archangel Michael.

He also put the chair at 45° to let more light in.

After a very few days, his aches and pains disappeared, so he set aside his readings and started very carefully riding a horse along the paths of the hills.

Years later, a dowser explained that the chair was located along a meridian of the geomagnetic earthly net and this flow of energy seems to be beneficial for both one person's spirit and body.


“The armchair days are not over yet. Even though it carries the signs of the passing time, you can still find it there. Bring a book, there's no better place where you could read it.”

The Grapes Room


The Grapes Room is the brightest one and has really nice painting of a vineyard and a large terrace. It's spacious and located in the north-east corner, offers a magnificent view on the lake and the plateau of Gaino, with olive trees and Folino village.

Nevertheless, the customers in this room really get under the influence of Baccus, the Greek wine god. I can't tell you how many of them find themselves drunk and wake up in the morning with their shoes on.

But there is more, sometimes they mistake the wardrobe door for the bathroom door and the consequences are... well, you can imagine.


“These days we try to be picky and select only alcohol-free guests or at least we warn them about the risks of drinking too much. We don't want to limit the pleasure of a good bottle of wine because it's no sin, but we try to avoid to get the wardrobe replaced too many times in a year.”


The Buttero* Room


Located on the ground floor, it features a covered front porch, but the story it's got to tell is more important than the tranquility and privacy it offers.

Many guests have slept in it and many among them were special people, men and women who love horses and are a part of the Scuderia Castello's story. Let me tell you about Decio, the old buttero* from Civitella Cesi (a special place hidden in the Tuscia and land of men, women and horses).

He was a an old man of 75 and he was nice enough to accompany us on a tour by horse throughout his homeland, the “maremma Viterbese”. The morning we left, Decio came with us back home, in the North, in order to visit our land with our olive trees, which are “distant relatives” of those brought here by his people (Etruschi) a very long time ago.

Decio stayed for many months and he was a precursor in the sense that nowadays it's not an uncommon thing to exchange your work and your capabilities for food, accommodation and the time to enjoy the surroundings.

An ancient knowing and his peaceful experience are still part of the porch atmosphere where he used to love to watch the sun setting every evening.


“These days, The Buttero Room is often available for Marco, a legendary Spiedo Bresciano (grilled meat) man. Rumor has it that spending some nights in here is definitely going to make your lack of appetite disappear.”

The green Room


This place in actually called “Travel Agency” because anyone who stays here has the possibility – if they purchase the ticket – to start a special journey and reach distant and mysterious corners of the Universe. Sleeping in this room opens up the doors of dreams and unknown dimensions. Once it happened that a man disassembled the bed and slept under the porch, due to the fear of getting on that journey. Likewise, courageous guests book this room year after year in order to take a trip to the infinite worlds of their souls.

The secret of this special place is an underground creek that goes through the farm house of Scuderia Castello and 20 mt under The Journey Room. The water is running and awakens people's feelings and perceptions.


“Piece of advice: the dream state and reality are separated by a very thin line and it gets easy to get lost and forget where you put your feet on. The only way to find your way home is to follow the water and dive without fear into the depth of your intuition. Anyhow, do as you please, but don't disassemble the bed! (Thank you).”
