About Cernusco Lombardone Castle
Guests arrive at a 16th-century Lombardy castle transformed into a sophisticated hotel, where stone archways and period rooms create an authentic Italian aristocratic setting.
From the moment visitors cross the threshold, they experience corridors lined with original frescoes and courtyards that have hosted nobles for centuries.
This is where wedding ceremonies unfold against genuine Renaissance architecture, not recreated backdrops.

We had a royal stay at Cernusco Lombardone. The location is great, very quiet in a pleasant garden (decoration for a wedding reception present at our arrival testify it's a romantic place).
