Rooted in heritage yet alive with creativity, the experience here is defined by its unforced elegance and deep sense of place. This is not hospitality built on formality, but on feeling—a refined environment where beauty, warmth, and exceptional service come together in quietly extraordinary ways.
Novello challenges the notion that high-end experiences must feel exclusive or performative. Here, excellence is intimate, characterful, and inviting. It’s in the perfectly poured glass of wine on the terrace, the thoughtful gesture from a host who remembers your favourite room, the art that surprises you in a quiet corridor.
Our high-profile guests—from film, fashion, sport, and beyond—come not to be seen, but to reconnect. They share our belief that luxury today is about presence, privacy, and emotional connection. Castello di Novello is their escape—a place where style, soul, and substance converge, and where every stay becomes part of a personal story worth telling.
