Beautiful paintings, mixed styles of building and decorating. Get a glimpse of 13th century. I liked the room in a tower that has paintings of all months of the year very much and the view from a tower. More

This castle is simply beautiful! I love the architecture and the frescos. Probably one of my favorite castles that we visited on this trip. You are allowed to wander pretty much everywhere in the castle, not much is roped off, which is excellent for those who like to explore. It also has a great spot that has the most spectacular...

Not bad, still not great, not worth the price of the ticket. It s an old small castle, lovely indeed, but not at all breathtaking. The interior is ok, the only thing truly amazing is the general view which promised a great deal more. More

This castle is just beautiful. It has the most amazing frescoes. The famous "Frescoes of the Months" is well done . We were given audio guides in English and allowed to spend quite a bit of time enjoying the frescoes which were in excellent condition. The castle as a whole is beautiful and very interesting. More

Absolutely amazing frescoes, ceilings and tower. Both interior of the castle and collections displayed made this trip unexpectedly special. Not to be missed while visiting Trento, and even worth of a special trip just to visit Buonconsiglio. Iveta, www.europeforfree.travel More

Very nice castle, definately worth a visit, Be sure to buy the ticket including a visit to the Aquila tower with the frescos as this is the most important sight. However, the remainder of the castle is also sufficiently interesting to keep you busy for a few hours. More

Unluckily to see the Twelve Months cycle you have to pay for the visit to the castle (7€) + 1€ for the tower. The castle's architecture and the garden are amazing, the collection quite boring. The ticket for 4 castles in Trentino is 12€. More
