From the moment we walked through the ancient, stone arch I knew we had found somewhere special to stay while exploring Umbria. The Relais Ducale Hotel is a lovingly restored, heritage listed building overlooking the medieval town of Gubbio. My son and I stayed at the Relais Ducale for four nights arriving on the 8th of December, the eve of... More

The Relais Ducale Hotel is truly a five star hotel. We only spent one night since there was not much to do in Gubbio and we were on our way to Orvieto, but that one night was great! The room was fabulous and we enjoyed a bottle of wine and cheese on the upper balcony with a wonderful view of... More

Enter into a beautiful herb garden, explore a tunnel in the hotel, and relax in the garden on the 3rd floor. It was a wonderful retreat after 5 days of hiking in Umbria. The room was wonderful with a great view, service was fantastic, and I hated to leave. Ask for a room with a view and if you can... More

At first sight the hotel frontage seems bland and formal, with the entrance being through the bar. But once you are inside you find a wealth of unique features. The hotel's origins are in a medieval fortress built into the hillside. Go upstairs to the reception and you find it leads onto a pretty enclosed garden. To the rear is... More

We spent two nights at the Relais Ducale Hotel in August 2011 and had a terrific experience. The hotel staff is extremely helpful and friendly, and the location is terrific. Gubbio is a wonderful town and this hotel is conveniently located right in the middle. Our room (402) was a junior suite, which was big enough for three people, and... More

Gubbio is one of those places that you hear about from someone else. The train ride itself was fairly simple from Rome's central train station Termini, a couple of hours and we were there, but once at the station we realised it was not close to the town at all. However a quick phone call to the hotel and they... More

The entire staff were helpful and cheerful. Very accomidating. Best location in the city and wonderful rooms. Loved every moment. More

We had a lovely room, beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean, shower not up to much though. The hotel lift system is a little quirky to say the least, if you have mobility problems this is not the hotel for you. Gubbio is a beautiful town and the Relais Ducale is in a brilliant location close to all the attractions, but... More

From the moment we arrived the staff at the hotel just went beyond expectations. Nothing was too much trouble and they always had a friendly smile for us. The hotel itself was immaculate & the bedrooms very spacious and clean with everything you could possible need. The air conditioning was brilliant seeing as it was 34 degrees every day! Breakfast...
