Small dark room, disappointing food at restaurant.

great location, fabulous views across the countryside, excellent pool and pool area, helpful staff easy parking, elevator for avoiding stairs, beautiful gardens, good breakfast, interesting character building, restful location. Well recommended to stay close to Perugia

This property and its location are absolutely stunning. An ancient castle, beautifully transformed. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the restaurant also is superb. An elegant, comfortable, well-appointed home base for our adventures in the Umbrian countryside. We can’t wait until we return.

When driving to the property, it was initially a little confusing to know which way to drive in for resident's parking. It could have been made a little clearer, maybe in English. An earlier opening time for the restaurant would have been better for us and also a salad/soup option for when you don't want a big meal with all the courses.

The room (Feritoie) was full of character and had plenty of space for us and our belongings. It was slightly dark, but this was because of the original windows being mainly the slits that the bowmen would have used to fire the arrows through and the windows to the stairwell being made of darker, coloured glass for privacy. I had asked for a room with elevator access, as my mum isn't able to manage lots of stairs, and we had the elevator literally six or seven footsteps from our door. I found my bed to be very comfortable, but my mum said hers was a little too firm for her liking. It's down to personal preference at the end of the day. The shower-room was lovely. The only thing that would have been useful would have been a well-lit magnifying mirror. Everything was spotless and the quality of the toiletries and linens was excellent. One thing that we brought along with us was a small travel kettle and cups, so that we could make our own hot drinks, but we know that many hotels outside of the UK don't provide this as a rule and therefore we were prepared. It was useful to have the small fridge to keep milk and other drinks cold. The website was out of date, as it mentioned two restaurants, when there's only one (Gradale). It was nice but the food wasn't particularly consistent (the night before a big event the food wasn't up to the same standard as on the previous evening). We would have also appreciated being able to eat before 7.30pm but the restaurant didn't open until then. Otherwise, everything was good and the staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful.

The castle and the ground were exceptional. The room was on the top floor with access to the terrace overlooking the property and beyond. Breakfast was also very good. Staff was pleasant, helpful, and welcoming. Highly recommended.

This place has it’s main seasons and March isn’t one of them. We shared our days with an organized bus tour and the quality of the restaurant was sadly mediocre when compared to places like the Taverna in town

It is an exceptionally nice restored castle with very comfortable if different rooms. The included breakfast was incredible and the location is close enough to perugia and Assisi.

We had a wonderful experience at the castle, the room was lovely and the food in the restaurant exceptional. We were greeted warmly to the hotel and the service at the restaurant was also the best we’ve had in Italy. Would recommend staying here to experience feeling like you’re staying in an authentic castle.

Not a single complaint!

This is a beautiful hotel with so many unique spaces to sit and relax. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful with our sightseeing plans. The view of the city and countryside is stunning but far enough away that it is very quiet and peaceful. Furthermore, breakfast was delicious with so many choices!
