The Castle Resort is one of the best choices between Hotels that the Lakeside - Pokhara offers. Situated on top of a hill, it gives you the best view, peace and serenity impossible to find anywhere else.
The architecture of The Castle Resort appears exactly like a castle on top of a hill and a gentle European couple - Joe and Sofia - who brought a pinch of Ireland and Portugal in Nepal, owns it.
The heated swimming pool, the Ping-Pong table, the dartboard, the badminton court and the huge trampoline are great time pass for kids and even for grown ups.
Besides the outstanding hospitality, the excellent staff and the attention for particulars, what really makes the difference here at The Castel Resort is the kitchen: the assorted menu offers continental and Nepalese food and the dish are cooked by the hands of enviable experience…indeed the most exigent mouth will be satisfied!
Here is how Joe presents The Castle Resort through a short interview:
How did
you and Sofia choose Pokhara and decided to build The Castle Resort?
For how
many years have you been running The Castle Resort?
Once we had formed a limited company in Kathmandu with the object of running a tourist resort whereby, we could own 100% of the Company’s shares. We spent some years levelling the rice terraces and building The Castle. We opened ten years ago.

What kind of atmosphere we can find at The Castle Resort?
A
convivial friendly relaxing atmosphere where you can lay on your hammock in
your private garden or by the pool and in the evening come to Branigan’s Irish
Pub to discuss your projects and find out from others guest where they had been
and what different areas on Nepal and India are like and share their
experiences.
What is
the difference about The Castle Resort in comparison to the other thousand
Hotels in Pokhara?
Most
Hotels are one building with corridors to the rooms. The Castle Resort in
comprised of different rooms and lodges separated from each other by gardens
and walk ways. We also grow our own vegetables using natural fertilizer;
we use local material such as bamboo, straw and stone. The Castle Resort is an
Eco-Resort.
What
would you choose between a kitchen which serves delicious food and a pub filled
with the best liquors?
My wife
would definitely choose the kitchen with delicious food. I would choose a pub
filled with the best liquors. However we do not have to choose as we have both
here at The Castle Resort.
Since
you know Pokhara very well, what would you suggest to not miss in the valley?
Different people have different tastes, some likes temple and stupas. There are
some great examples in Pokhara. Others, day walks, boating, lively bars in the
evenings. Then there is always kayaking, rafting and paragliding for the
adventure seekers. My wife loves to play golf and here in Pokhara we have one
of the most unique golf course in the world, The Himalayan Golf Course. We
organize all these activities for our guest including day trips, picnics and
trekking anywhere in the Himalayas.
