Who hasn’t dreamed of spending a night in a castle? A heavenly bed, creaking floorboards, silk wallpaper, glittering chandeliers, expansive grounds, and, for good measure, discreet service, fulfilling wishes before you have said a word. Anyone looking for a bit of luxury treatment will find the perfect opportunity in one of Europe’s many historic castles: numerous ones have been converted into excellent hotels, where guests are considered royalty. This book transports you to elegant lords’ homes and extensive vineyards, offering a glimpse behind medieval walls and into baroque staterooms.  Its pages are sumptuously filled with nearly 500 magnificent images, castle hotel-booking information, historical and cultural anecdotes, hotel gastronomy overviews, and more.
