Relais Todini is in the most beautiful rural location in Umbria, where there are gorgeous, rosy views over Todi and the surrounding valley. The quality of the silence is glorious, especially when sitting out on the terrace before dinner in the evening, sipping an aperatif, watching twinking lights in the distance and allowing the good cooking smells from the wood-fired oven make your tummy rumble.
The staff are universally friendly and helpful and will go out of their way to help you with any difficulties during your stay. The food in the restaurant is exquisite - everything fresh and local and perfectly cooked.
My room was decorated beautifully, with ceramics from Deruta (local pottery centre) and fabrics from Montefalco. The spa is also a real treat and I would highly recommend a massage and a spell in the outdoor jacuzzi, where you can recline with a green tea, soaking your cares away whilst gazing over the valley.
Within the boundary of the Relais there is a small animal park; you can request a little tour at the hotel reception. You can also request a tour of Cantina Todini where they produce wine from the Relais vineyards. Have a glass (or two!) with your dinner to experience a really special cellar.
Relais Todini is such a beautiful place in every way. I'm just looking forward to my next visit!
