The room was comfortable and clean, it had every amenity we needed. The kitchen was handy and the host made us feel welcomed. The breakfast was great. Convenient location if you are hiking through the region.

There really was not anything i did not like. The only small improvement could be to trim (ie grass cut) the garden a bit? It could be nice with some lounge chairs and cut grass to enjoy your drinks after hike outdoors.

This is the second time we stayed. The property has a lot of history and the owner is part of the history. The rooms were spacious, clean and had everything you needed. The very best Nazzaro picked up beer from local store to make our arrival from the hike even better. He drove and arranged pickup to:from local restaurant. Breakfast had everything you wanted both salt and sweet, eggs and good coffee to set us up for the next day hiking. I keep coming back to Villa Cardinale, it is always a family feeling and warmth to the place.

It was great - having a shared bathroom is always complicated, but everything was clean and well done.

Great location - comfortable rooms - Sr. Nazario was the kindest and most accommodating host Perfect stop on our Via di Roma. Great food prepared by Sra. Rosa across the street

everything was great

Nazarro was an incredible host - from the second we arrived in the village he made us feel welcome, guided us to the place and organized dinner on the way! The breakfast was amazing with freshly made Foccacia!

There is nothing to do in Poreta, but if you’re walking the St Francis way (which goes through Poreta) you really must stay at this place.

Nazaro is the best host you could want. I got the warmest welcome. The room was nice, everything was very clean, I loved the pillows (first time this week I didn’t wake up with pain in my neck from all the hard pillows in Italy). There is a common area with a fireplace, very cosy. Nazaro arranged food from Rosa for me and 2 other guests, which was delicious. The breakfast was also great; croissants, ricotta, primo sale, apricot pie, bread, olive oil; everything homemade and delicious.

Nothing, was more than i expected. The information on booking is correct although it is not in the city Spoleto but in Poreta at the end of an official via di Francesco walk.

A wonderful stay at the Villa on my "Via di Francesco". The Villa is between Trevi and Spoleto in Poreta and is a great place to relax in rural italy after the busy Towns. Beautifull Villa with a very spacious room. The host is very helpfull and offered me the choice of either have a local make me a simple diner or bring me to a restaurant. I did chose the simple dinner (bread, tomato, egg, vegetable pie) which was a delight.

Nazzaro was the perfect host! We hiked the Cammino di San Francesco and arrived in Poreta on Easter Sunday. He made sure we could have lunch in a local shop (which was closed) and drove us to a great restaurant in the evening. Breakfast was excellent, with fresh local products, and he even packed the leftovers for our hike. Our stay at Villa del Cardinale was truly an amazing Cammino experience.

That we were not able to stay longer!!

Everything! An exceptional place to stay. Lovely and quiet with a beautiful host who will do anything to make your stay enjoyable and hassle free. Nazzaro (host) arranged & drove us to a magnificent restaurant for dinner a short distance from his place. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Best coffee ever! Recommend staying here when walking Camino.

Beautiful old villa. The best part is the owner Nazzaro. He treated me like family. Drove me to a fabulous restaurant, packed me snacks for the road. Perfect stop if you are walking the Via di Francesco.

The host was very welcoming and attentive, even taking the initiative to make dinner arrangements for us as there was nothing in the village. He drove us there and collected us. The rooms are spacious, the area daily quiet, with lots of attention to detail.

Villa Cardinale is a stunning little b&b, located in a beautiful old big house 10min driving from of Spoleto city center. It’s a wonderful area, surrounded by nature and the courtyard is charming. The rooms are simple and clean, the owner is super nice, very friendly and professional, he took great care of us. He prepared the most wonderful breakfast in the morning, with fresh ricotta, homemade apricot cake and many more delicious things. I can only raccomend this place

Everything was perfect. We travel extensively, and rarely have we stayed someplace so beautiful, clean, and hospitable.

The building and grounds were beautiful, and the location close to the Via di Francesco was ideal. Our magnificent room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, as was everything throughout the house. Best of all, however, was the warm hospitality offered to us by our host, Nazarro, whose kindness, humor, and conversation made our stay unforgettable. He arranged a sumptuous vegetarian meal for our dinner, and sent us on our way in the morning with an exquisite breakfast of fresh pastries and bread, delicious fresh local cheeses, and the truly amazing ‘Crostate delle Signora Anna’ (an artisanal fruit tart), all served with perfectly brewed coffee. Nazarro made us feel so welcome that we are already planning our return visit. Staying at Villa del Cardinale is an experience not to be missed.

Not a negative thing can be said about this ultimate host.

Nazzaro is an exceptional host, nothing was too much for him ensuring every comfort and requirement was met in advance. Nazzaro transported me from the train station to the BnB and back including transporting me to an excellent nearby restaurant for dinner. I would highly recommend Nazzaro to anyone travelling to that region. I can’t wait to go back.

there was nothing that we didn’t like.

The location was excellent and Nazzaro was the best host. He was very helpful and entertaining. The house itself was huge and belong to a cardinal who lavished money throughout the area making all the other houses in the area as splendid.

A bit tricky to fibd the correct door.

Our host Nazzaro greeted us with a cup of tea, since we had a difficult day of walking before arriving. He was very sensitive to our needs. we enjoyed having a heat radiator that worked in May, and the towel warmer also was working. we stayed cozy in spite of the chilly and wet weather. Nazzaro also took us to a nice restaurant for dinner and one of the employees drove us home.

Everything was fine.

Great location for walkers on the Via Francisco. Our very helpful host booked an evening meal for us and provided a great breakfast. All very important as there are few facilities in the small village.
