5 Ways for Solo Savings on Lodging for Bargains

Solo Travel Deals-Castle Hotels: Castle hotels are real steals. During my childhood days, like many young girls, I had dreams of castles with tall towers. Fast forward to the 21st-century, I discovered a really practical reason to be excited about castles.  Set throughout the European countryside, most have been converted into modern residences or four and five-star hotels. Even the most ancient have been updated now to combine Old World charm with present day conveniences.

The good news is that many are set in the countryside.  That gives a relaxing site for hiking, biking or in some cases skiing,. Their locations outside of major cities and national capitals keeps their prices far lower than in a city center.

France, Germany and Italy have some of the largest numbers and best known “chateaux hotels”. However, you will also find many others in:

  • Spain
  • Ireland
  • UK/Scotland and
  • Czech Republic (My favorite is the 5-star luxury spa at the Chateau Heralec in the Czech countryside. To learn more, see Czech Castle and Spa plus Czech Luxury Castle Hotel)

Here are more we selected for you to check out by country. We chose them based on the value and price.

As is always the case, you will find the best prices outside of the high summer tourist months of June-August.  Be sure to check for your dates as to what is available.

Agriturismo Castello La Grancia di Spedaletto Lower priced.

As its name shows, it is truly in the country. This favorite comes with great prices and more chances to try local olive oil and wine.

Free continental breakfast.

You will then step back into history. The Agriturismo Castello was built in the 12th-century but has been updated starting with free Wi-Fi and an outdoor swimming pool.

Guest rooms have:

TV

Private bathroom with free toiletries

Charming, chic country-style décor with exposed wooden-beams

Nearby day trips:

Cheese lovers will be glad to see that Pienza is only six miles away.

Montepulciano is a 25-minute drive.

 

Palazzo Dalla Rosa Prati Higher priced.

The Palazzo Dalla Rosa Prati is right in the center of the town’s pedestrian sector. It is nestled right in the historic medieval square next to the Baptistery.

Awesome views of Parma’s Cathedral from the Palazzo.  For the best view, take the glass elevator up to the top floor.

Guest rooms feature:

Free Wi-Fi

Air conditioning

Private bathrooms with a spa tub or a crystal shower.

Suites and apartments feature a kitchenette.

In the building you will also find a café and spa.

 

The Castello La Leccia Very pricey.

This 11th-century castle has been fully restored.

Updates include free Wi-Fi and, an a rare find, an outdoor swimming pool. From its spot atop a high hill, you can see the Tuscan countryside below. For a good look watch the sun set from the terraces!

Wine lovers will be pleased to learn that Chianti is only 1 mile from the Castello La Leccia.

Guest rooms feature:

Unique style

Handcrafted furniture

Be sure to ask for a garden or other top view. Also see if you can capture a room with a four-poster bed and the original stuccoes.

The on-site restaurant offers both Tuscan dishes and top wines from the region. You can also take part in wine tastings and try out the olive oil options or relax in the outdoor swimming pool

You will be in the heart of Tuscany with Siena only two miles away.

The nearest town is Lecce, only 16 miles from Le Scuderie – Castello Monaci.  Gallipoli is 24 miles away.

 

Scotland:

Another 4 star option:

14th century Scottish Airth Castle Hotel: Once the home of the family of Robert the Bruce.

 

Solo Travel Deals-Castle Hotels: Canada:

Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City – Enter your dates into our booking engine for price and availability. Yet again, another of my very favorites. After seven to eight trips there, it feels almost like home! It is high though in-season or for holidays. You will save airfare by having a feel of France in North America if you reside on this side of the Atlantic. Jan. and Feb. are best prices.  I have combined a stay there with skiing and dog sledding. The hotel shuttle can take you there so it is easy to have a great trip.
