Podere Castel Merlo is immersed in 18 hectares of vineyards between Valcalepio and Franciacorta in a marvellous central and exclusive position just a few steps from Lake Iseo.
The Resort has 7 double suites elegantly furnished with valuable elements such as travertine marble, wood and stones that recall nature and relaxation.
An internal restaurant that offers Tradition - Research - Local raw materials for an unprecedented gastronomic experience.
Refined location for ceremonies, birthdays and private events.
Castel Merlo certainly already existed as a fortress castle in the 9th century: in fact, we have a document from 912 (10th century) found in the Monastery of Santa Grata in Bergamo (still active) which deals with a dispute between the castellan Count Martinengo and the Abbess of the Convent of Seranica (Villongo) on the feudal rights of the two.
The ancient origin can still be felt throughout the castle where medieval stairs and sixteenth-century frescoes still remain today. The refined renovation by the architect Alessandro Agrati has created a fantastic elegant and contemporary atmosphere.
