Incredible views from pool area. Buildings beautiful and our room was comfortable, clean and beautiful. Access in and out best by car but we also used taxi (must prebook). Best breakfast of our trip and staff excellent, friendly and willing to go the extra mile. Dinners were excellent. Wireless service onsite.

Stay during the week, weekend proved to be too busy...........with a wedding and huge family group gathering! September is a wonderful time to be here. the overly hot summer had taken a toll on the usual green appearance! But the view from the hill top night and day is breath taking. The rooms are name by the months and located in a couple of buildings. Some are under the owners residence, a building just next and one up the hill. Each suite that we looked into were completely different in size and configuration.Each fully decorated in all antiques. The staff were all amazing , friendly and helpful. Our cooking class with Rosa was fantastic. The Breakfast was over the top !!!!.........dinners of a small select menu were great............eating on the out door patio at night was charming! The pool is nicely situated on the hill top looking out over the lakeside town below. Not easy to find if you are by car, without a car hard to get to other hill side towns, as the town right below had nothing to offer. If you are missing your pets the resident two dogs will charm themselves into your heart. This is a place for couples.............in every way! Even the poolside chairs are paired up each morning! and the Italian cakes served at 5pm poolside a nice touch. We did not have hot water in our unit, but I hardly cared. Our valuable safe was not operational...........but we we tucked away in our own hill top world and felt safe. the winery down the hillside is worth the friendly visit and the wines worth picking up!!!

My wife and I stayed here for four nights in mid September. The drive up to the hotel is fine, just take it easy. The setting is beautiful, the view from the pool area spectacular. The staff are helpful and do their level best to make your stay the best it can be. The buildings are made from local stone and absolutely in keeping with what you would expect of an old Umbrian inn, especially the dining room and patio dining area.

Our room was majus, just off the dining terrace. The room is good sized and well furnished with an adequate bathroom. However, there are no windows because the room is a (well) converted cellar and to keep it cool requires the air conditioner to be running continuously. It would have been nice to open a window in such a beautiful old building.

Our only complaint with the hotel is the lack of attention to detail. Our minibar fridge did not work so we had no cold drinks available. One could say "so what"' but with an outside temperature of 34 and no hotel bar, a cold drink would have been good at times. The hotel we unable to fix the fridge or swap it over, we missed out on a drink - they missed out on the minibar profit. On our penultimate day our room wasn't made up at 1700 in the evening and we had to point this out to them. They attended immediately and we then noticed they had left a set of towels that were dirty, as if they,d been on the floor for a time. We asked them to change them which they did. Why not check and give us clean towels the first time? Finally the bed in Majus is just awful. It's two single, cast iron framed beds pushed together. There is an iron bar that runs down between the two beds that stops you venturing into your partners half and if you aren't careful you end up bruised. A triumph or style over practicality.

The meals and wine are excellent and good value for money.


Get the detail right and this could be a truly great hotel to spend a few restful days.

This place confirmed our booking but made a mistake on the dates and we were left without a room. Worst of all, they dont answer emails for 2 weeks straight claiming they havent received anything...
