Guest reviews
Very good
Adequate
Liked: Basic room. Italy is expensive for accommodation and this place was normal for that. I think 55 euros for a small room off season. But this seems to be standard all over italy. … breakfast was included … friendly staff
Disliked: Modern and functional. Price a bit high
Liked: Location, lovely setting, nice staff
Disliked: West was quoted as "total price" did not include the so-called "tassa di soggiorno". Must tiene in Italy have this but it's included in the price on booking.com in my experience.
Liked: Oh, the room was just marvelous.. So clean and comfortable.. The bed was ultimate pleasure and sitting in the garden surrounded by beautiful greenery and fragrance of flowers was exceptional
Disliked: No cafes, restaurants nearby
Lovely old building - accommodation disappointing
Liked: The Original Villa building, its gardens & the restaurant were beautiful 🤩. We found a good Osteria in walking distance 👍.
Disliked: The whole building was locked down when we arrived, with no staff on site!! - via another guest we had to complete a self-check in! The driveway up to the building - was overgrown, & uneven for a motorcycle. I had contacted the accommodation, asking if the restaurant would be open on the 1st night of stay - no response. We actually stayed in, what possibly could have once been an old barn shaped conversion (box). The rooms could have been anywhere - nothing special, very basic, as described 😭. Flies/bugs on all the windows - even though no windows were open (when we arrived)!! The hairdryer packed up 1/2 way through during my hair. We had planned on staying 2 nights - so disappointed, we left after one night.
Great experience
Liked: The Villa lies in a beautiful garden, close to bus stops to get into town, there is local walking along the parks on the river side. Exceptional staff and very clean rooms, new bathrooms.
Liked: The location was easy to access, the room was clean and set up neatly. Bathroom very nice, bed comfortable.
Disliked: Except for the baked goods, the breakfast was uninspiring. I didn't see any fresh fruit. There were 2 kinds of boxed cereal but no granola, dried fruits or nuts. The breakfast area was clean with fresh linen.
