"Quite possibly the most uncomfortable bed we have ever slept in. It was two twin boxsprings pushed together with very flat pillows. It was like sleeping on plywood. There was alot of street noise plus the windows were very dirty. Breakfast was good. Overall, not worth the money."

"Perfect location to every thing the beautiful town of Orvieto has to offer. Nice size and well appointed rooms with interesting local art and a quiet patio for a drink before heading to dinner but this place stands out for the absolutely amazing customer service. Every single employee went out of their way to meet our needs. Would love to visit again. SOON!"

"What a delightful surprise of a property. We enjoyed our room, the delightful staff and breakfast was excellent! We would highly recommended booking and will stay again if we come through the area."

"I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately it feels less like a hotel and more like a time capsule… and not in a charming, vintage way. Let’s start with the room: the walls look like they’ve gone a few rounds with a moving company—scuffed, marked, and clearly overdue for a fresh coat of paint. The TV is so small I’ve seen larger screens on desktop monitors, which made relaxing in the evening a bit of a squinting exercise. Now, the real entertainment: the symphony of noise. Every time the air conditioning or fans shut off, they make sounds dramatic enough to suggest the building itself is reconsidering its life choices. Not exactly the peaceful getaway one hopes for. Outside doesn’t fare much better. The garden area seems to have entered a “survival of the fittest” competition, with weeds winning by a landslide. It gives the impression that maintenance might be more of a concept than an actual practice here. And while location can sometimes make up for shortcomings… that’s not the case here. It’s just another challenge added to the list. All humor aside, this place has potential—but it’s currently being overshadowed by a noticeable lack of care. A little investment in upkeep, aesthetics, and basic maintenance would go a long way. Because right now, it feels like a runaway train heading straight toward declining reviews and even faster-declining occupancy. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend staying here"

"The lunch and dinner dining was terrific. The location was superb. The help when I needed a taxi late at night was excellent."

"The resort is very beautiful and lots to do for a relaxing couple of days. Everything was clean and comfortable and the breakfast in the morning was amazing! So many options. We also had dinner at their restaurant, would recommend reservations, the food was excellent and so was the atmosphere. "

"Great property 15 min outside of Orvieto. Incredible location with a spectacular view of the entire old city of Orvieto. They have a pool (for the hot months), they include breakfast and the personnel is extremely nice. Really a great place in Orvieto. "

"I honestly cannot find the superlatives. That would equal what I'm trying to describe. This property is clean, organized has an absolutely incredible view. Such rustic charm. The staff are warm friendly service-oriented. The location is incredible, literally one of the best experiences (and I have stayed at literally hundreds of lodgings over the years) I have ever had. I endorse anybody that is going to be coming to this area to see if there is availability, and if there is, seize the opportunity"

"The property was serene and comfortable. Breakfast was wonderful and Francesca was a great host. The dogs made me feel like home. Beautiful walk to the town. ❤️"
