Shower is very small

The hotel has a good location, not far from the port and Arenella beach. The shuttle offered from/to the port is really convenient. The view from the room was amazing. The staff was lovely and always ready to help.

Bathroom really too small, you could barely turn around without hitting something. In general, a renovation to the premises might be needed. From our room you could hear flushing of toilets of other rooms very loudly, it woke us up. People coming down stairs of building were also super loud, since there was no fabric on the stone steps. Too bad the restaurant is only indoors- in summer it felt a pity to stay inside and not be able to have dinner on an outdoor terrace.

Staff super friendly and helpful. The free shuttle service is a fantastic plus, very helpful to get to the beaches and to the town (way down is ok by foot, but way back is a pretty intense climb). Pretty garden area.

The staff was amazing. Engaging and helpful with tips about the island. Helped book dinner reservations and had recommends about what to do and where to go. Reji was an amazing driver for the hotel that helped us get around the island.

Small bathroom was only negative.

The views, the staff, restaurant was good & great shuttle service to town. Close to beaches, which we drove too, but shuttle available for that too. The hotel staff were all very friendly & helpful.

Breakfast buffet could be improved - for example by adding some fresh fruit, or improving the cheese and cured meats selection - items on display were a little bit disappointing except for yogurt which was always fresh. The Restaurant could've been better, there are I think much better options across the Island.

Room was very bright, clean and generally lovely. Great bathroom and very good facilities. We stayed in a room with a view on the hill from one side, and on the sea over the other side: it made for a very bright stay and the views are actually fantastic. Staff was great, very helpful and kind, and always available. The room and bathroom were very clean.

The bed covers and smell in the bathroom. I also got bitten, not sure what it was. The single bed was really small!

The location was good.

Everything was perfect, but my only kind suggestion to the hotel managers is to keep at least some emergency snacks for people who miss dinner: the hotel is at about 10 minutes walk from Giglio Porto on top of a steep road, and if you miss the hotel deadline for dinner you are forced to go back to Giglio Porto. I never needed this, but for some it may be useful to can have emergency sandwiches or at least snacks, not only drinks.

I have been at Giglio island many times because the island itself is a little heaven on earth for those who appreciate an unspoiled natural setting, and a wonderful mix of beautiful tuscan villages, fantastic beaches with cristal clear water, and of course all the tasty food and wine you expect from Tuscany. In this idyllic context the Castello Monticello hotel for me has been a very pleasant surprise: it seemed more a 4 stars hotel than a 3 stars. The breakfast was spectacular, the staff was always helpful and kind, the facilities included scenic sea view terrace and restaurant/breakfast area, free shuttle service to the Arenella and Cannelle beaches, and very nice and elegant relax areas, always with perfect wi-fi signal. All of this at excellent value. I will definitely come back again, hopefully very soon. Previously I was mainly renting private flats, but I found this hotel much better value for money and from now on this will be my chosen place. The hotel is a big beautiful castle building well visible from many places in the island.

We loved everything.

The hotel is located up the hill from the charming little port, with sweeping views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The hotel provided shuttle service to the beach and to the port where there are many services and restaurants. We chose to walk to one of the loveliest of the beaches, maybe a half mile away, and took the island bus system (efficient, quick) to one of the others. The hotel staff graciously and cheerfully accommodated all of our needs.

I'm so glad we stayed here and would come again, the hotel is perfectly located just up the hill from Giglio Porto. Breakfast and coffee were good with a lovely view and service. The staff are great and super helpful, the hotel shuttle was amazing and made it really easy to travel to the nearby beaches and to go to the Port for dinner. Just outside the hotel there is a bus stop which takes you to Castello and Campese beach on the other side of the island. Our room was large and clean with a comfy bed and good shower.

The atmosphere of the castle, the ultra friendly staff, the pick-up and drop-off navetta are simply the best features so far. The hotel is a walking distance from the Porto and it has a nice view of the town being uphill.

The hotel is a little outdated and could need some outside treats for guests such as a pool or breakfast facilities outside

I loved the location and the outgoing support from the staff. There's a superb concierge service (Tomas and Francesco) and a incredibly kind driver named Ranji that shuttles guest endlessly around the island.

Effective Air con in the breakfast/dining room would have been good.

Great location - walking distance to Porto and to Arenella beach with hotel shuttle services to bring you back up the hill. Bus stop outside the gates for Castello and Campese. Sea views, friendly staff, good food at the restaurant.

The situation was ideal, above the port but within easy access and close to the bus stop. The hotel also had a free shuttle service from the port. When we travelled to Giglio Campese for a meal we were told there was over an hour wait for a taxi so we rang the hotel and they came to pick us up and simply charged the normal taxi fare. The staff just couldn’t do enough to make our stay perfect. The dining room had a fabulous view overlooking the sea and had a good selection of cold foods but they were also happy to cook some eggs if requested. The hotel ensured that we had a perfect stay and was very good value.
