Bettona is a little medieval town perfectly restored and full of history, a fine painting museum, preciuos buildings and fabulous landscapes (the town it's built on a rock topping a 360° valley). The Relais La Corte di Bettona is a full four-star little gem, right in the middle of the historic center and deserves a visit for the total silence, the sense of peace and quiet, the heritage of the building, the wonderful food I experienced at the internal restaurant and the overall plaesant experience. I visited the relais with my wife and kid choosing the room upgrade from standard to superior. The view for the window was really breathtaking. The Relais also have a (quite small but useful in warmer days) outdoor pool and a nice SPA. If you are looking for a plaesant weekend of total relax or a good weekly base to explore the wonderful sourroundings of Umbria Region, then you should consider Relais Bettona, and it's good value for money. Free internet wifi connection, free gym use and free parking in a very little and ancient town like Bettona really sound like a wonderful extra-bonus.

My husband and I stayed here for three nights. It is located in a very quaint and pretty small town, Bettona. The hotel reminded me of a Best Western. It was clean, but very plain. Our room was clean but we had a problem controlling the heat and it got so hot we had to sleep with the window open. The bathroom was very small with the shower the size of a coffin! The exercise room, which I don't see often in European hotels, was very bare and one machine was broken so it does not seem like that is a priority for them. We ate in their restaurant, for both the free breakfast buffet and for dinner. Both meals were quite good and service for dinner was fine, but if you are going for breakfast, don't be there right when it opens because they are a little slow in getting things out on the buffet. The staff was friendly, but when we were checking out, the young lady did not know how to operate the credit card machine so that delayed our check out for a while until someone else on the staff arrived for work who could operate it. While I would not recommend you avoid the place, I certainly would not encourage you to stay unless you needed to stay in Bettona (I think this is the only hotel in the old part of Bettona).

We stayed at the hotel for one night during our honeymoon road trip through Europe. We stayed at over 20 hotels on our honeymoon and this hotel was one of our favorites. It was rural, intimate and located in a peaceful and rustic location. We stayed half board for a fantastic price. The evening meal alone was worth the money we paid. Not much to do after dinner but we hung out in a local bar and watched the local nightlife unfold. A fantastic experience we won't forget.

La Corte di Bettona is a medieval walled village on top of a hill, so the views are stunning. The hotel has basic rooms and the restaurant is very good as you would expect in Italy (i.e. very good). If you have a car, I'd drop off your luggage at the hotel and then park it outside the town walls and simply walk up the outside staircase to the hotel. If you park in the square then you're likely to get trapped, I was, twice. I was the only non-Italian staying and the town is a lively one; I enjoyed seeing the christenings and the general bustle. Be warned: I was at a wedding nearby and the coach driver refused to take me here afterwards as it's quite steep and very twisty to get to. Driving a car is okay though. All in all a very unique location. Umbria is not as well know as Tuscany, probably slightly more industrial and much less touristy but it's certainly not less beautiful. You can fly to Perugia, which is worth a couple of nights also. Assisi is near too.
