Just returned from a two week stay in Italy with 5 days at the Relais Ducale hotel in Gubbio. This is one of several hotels owned by the same group and is actually managed by an American, Shaun, who is married to the owneres daughter. The hotel ia in afantastic location with the entire valley below you. I noted the... more

We had a fairly mixed experience with the hotel. The hotel is at the stop of a very steep hill and once you get there, it's 46 steps up to the Reception area (although there is a stair lift and separate lift to make this for disabled travellers) and then a lift to your room. In the Umbrian heat this... more

We have just returned from four nights at this hotel and I've got to say it's hard to fault. Yes there are a lot of stairs (they have lifts but stairs as well) and yes, there is no on-site parking but overall great hotel. We went to Gubbio for a wedding which is a lovely place to have one! Our... more

We stopped at Relais Ducale for one night on our way to the coast Ancona to catch a ferry to Croatia. The room at Relais Ducale had a view of the entire valley and we were quite pleased when we checked in. The room itself was quite plain with no frills but the view made up for it all (or... more

As I scroll down the list of previous reviews of Relais Ducale, I am glad to see that we are following in the path of many happy guests. We drove to Gubbio, and those of you who have been there will understand the nightmareof driving in the town for visitors who did not know where to go!! The Hotel happily... more

We wanted to escape for a night in Umbria, and we choose Gubbio, which is a supercute small town. We searched on tripadvisor, and Relais Ducale looked very good, considering the location and the fact that is inside an historical palace. Plus, we got a special price, just 89 Euros for a standard room, which worked perfectly for only one... more

Fantastic experience. Elegant, comfortable hotel with a friendly staff. Perfect location in central Gubbio, with a lovely garden area where you can enjoy a bottle of wine or just sit out in the evening air. And the complimentary breakfast is superb. Fruit, pastries, fresh cheeses and meats and, of course, the sumptuous coffee. All of this for a very affordable... more

Upon arrival in Gubbio, we found the parking lot where the hotel had instructed us to park and call them. They sent a driver who led us to the hotel's parking lot where we left our car, then transferred us up to the hotel through a maze of impossibly narrow streets. Our room was spacious, with comfortable furniture and a... more

We stayed for 4 nights in Sept 2008. The hotel is located right on the main piazza with easy access to everything in Gubbio, partly in an old palazzo and partly in the buildings behind, all with internal connection. The room was spacious, clean and well appointed. Service was very good and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. more
