点评:As a couple who has circled the globe three times, we pride ourselves on being well-travelled, affluent, and discerning when it comes to our travel experiences. Our second home in Mountain Air brings us to this beautiful part of North Carolina several times a year, but what we encountered at Smithmore Castle was nothing short of extraordinary.
Let's start with the food – North Carolina, as beautiful as it is, hasn't always been known for its culinary offerings. That was until we came to Smithmore. This was not just another meal – it was a gastronomic journey. The dining experience here is on an entirely different level, surpassing anything we’ve experienced across continents. From the first bite, we knew we were in for something truly special.
The service? Well, it is unlike anything we've experienced in America. Impeccable, polished, and entirely genuine, the staff at Smithmore Castle treat you not as guests, but as part of the family. Every need is anticipated before you even think to ask.
And then there's the view. Words can barely do it justice – we spent hours on our private balcony just taking in the breathtaking vistas, feeling like we were on top of the world. It’s a rare combination of serenity and grandeur that transports you somewhere almost magical.
While we were only able to stay for two nights due to ongoing work at our home following the hurricane, the experience was so exceptional, it feels as though we’ve been transported into another world. It’s a bucket-list destination for a reason – there’s no place like it.
Now, every time we visit the area, dining at Smithmore Castle will be a must. It’s not just a place to stay – it’s an experience to savor. In fact, if we ever want to entertain guests, we’ll book a private dining experience here. It’s truly that remarkable. Smithmore Castle is a rare gem, a treasure in the mountains, and we can't wait to return.

首先,让我们来谈谈美食——北卡罗来纳州虽然风景秀丽,但其美食并非一直闻名遐迩。直到我们来到史密斯莫尔,情况才有了改变。这不仅仅是一顿简单的晚餐,更是一场美食之旅。这里的用餐体验达到了一个全新的高度,超越了我们在各大洲的体验。从第一口开始,我们就知道自己将体验到一场真正特别的体验。
服务?嗯,与我们在美国体验到的任何体验都截然不同。史密斯莫尔城堡的员工无可挑剔、彬彬有礼、真诚待人,他们对待您不仅仅是客人,更是家人。在您提出任何需求之前,他们都会提前考虑到。
还有美丽的景色。难以言表——我们在私人阳台上待了几个小时,欣赏着令人叹为观止的美景,感觉自己仿佛站在世界之巅。宁静与壮丽的结合如此罕见,仿佛将你带到了近乎神奇的地方。
虽然由于飓风过后房屋维修,我们只住了两晚,但这次体验如此非凡,感觉仿佛置身于另一个世界。它之所以成为人生必去之地,是有原因的——无与伦比。
现在,每次我们来这里,在史密斯莫尔城堡用餐都是必做的。它不仅仅是一个住宿的地方,更是一次值得细细品味的体验。事实上,如果我们想招待客人,我们都会在这里预订私人用餐体验。它真的非常棒。史密斯莫尔城堡是一块罕见的宝石,是群山中的珍宝,我们迫不及待地想再次造访。
