Castello is an early XIX century castle, located in a small village in the middle of nowhere surrounded by beautiful nature. It is a 4-storey building with an area of 5,000 square meters and over 100 rooms and 25 bathrooms.

Originally built for nobles and aristocrats, it will now be turned into the most outstanding location for an electronic music festival ever thought of.

Trash

Castello’s priority is not just to offer its guests an emotional holiday guided by relax and entertainment, it also cares about welcome its customers in an organized structure with total respect of nature and the castle. Therefore we are sure all our guests will keep on helping us, giving their own contribution respecting a few arrangements…as following the correct recycling guidelines or reducing water and energy waste, etc. Leaving No Trash, Our guests respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor whenever possible to leave such places in a better state than when we found them. Thank you!
