"We stayed 6 nights at this well-hidden magical place at the end of August. It is almost unthinkable how sophisticated and carefully but still effortlessly designed this Castellino is. The rooms are all unique, large and featured with all amenities (kitchen included) which makes your stay comfortable. The pool - with a breathtaking view of the Adriatic and the medieval Castello Gradara - is the center of Life here - and deservedly so: you start your day with a pool-side breakfast, continue with nicely prepared cocktails consumed on the sunbeds and of course indulging in the sun-heated pool itself. After having a short break in your nicely cooled room and dressed up smart-casual you can enjoy a delicious dinner cooked by Chef Andrea at one of the pool-side tables following the setting sun above the Sea. If you are curious enough, you can discover the secrets of the magical garden with its many hidden places. If you are lucky and spend a Thursday here you can attend the weekly Sundown party at the fabulous terraced garden just below the pool - the setting is something you can not imagine until you see it for yourself. You`ll not be bored even if the weather does not favour sunbathing - you can discover the beauties and historical places (like Urbino, Gradara )of both the Marche and Emilia-Romagna - or even San Marino - all in 40 kms distance) If you long to dive into the Sea there are many beaches nearby (eg Gabbice Mare), althoug those can be crowded during Summer peak. For shopping the best place is Pesaro (centro historico - only 15 min drive from the Castellino) with it`s many local designer shops and high fashion brand stores. For beach bags and accessories do not miss the Brandina brand store right in Piazzale Poppolo. Nothing is easier than dining out in one fo the many very good and very affordable restaurants - all within 5 min drive. The nearest one (Il Melograno with its heavenly home-made pastas) is literally at your doorstep. Finally I can`t miss out to mention the super-friendly and ever helpful hotel staff to whom we owe a big Thanks for not only making our stay wonderfully easy-going but making us always smiling. We just can not wait to return next Summer:) "

"This place is incredible, tucked away from the madness of the riviera and yet close enough to the sea. The building itself is unique, and the decor is fantastic. The food is excellent, and the room is spotless and classy. The host, Mr R., ensured that all our needs were met and every detail was taken care of. We had a great time and will go back soon."

"What a fantastic venue! I have found that locations that look this good often aren't quite as nice in reality. Terra Di Gradara is the exception. It exceeded our expectations. Set in a stunning location that you couldn't make up it is in every way simply beautiful. The staff were helpful and super friendly. Helped us with local bike hire! The local area and castle.. amazing. You get the idea. Book it and go and experience it for yourself. Loved every minute of our time here. "

"We'd stayed at this property before and decided to return this year, again with our dog. We stayed at the Conventino, which offers all the amenities. The room was wonderful and very spacious. We used the pool as soon as we arrived. The tennis court is also available. The private spa offers a delightful view, all the way to the sea. The large fenced garden is perfect for our dog to roam around. Private parking is available. Excellent breakfast. The staff were kind and helpful. I also had a massage by Valentina, which made me feel better, given my numerous spasms. I've affectionately called her "Iron Man" hands... truly effective and competent. I highly recommend it."
