Overall a very nice hotel deserving of a 4 star rating. Beautiful views, large rooms, ample breakfast offerings, large spa with a lot of saunas, pools, etc. Gym could use some more equipment but it’s not bad. Parking near your room can be a challenge but it’s no more than a few hundred meters at most. I would recommend this property.

Kicked out of the main pool area early in the morning because they were hosting a loud toga party for a work event. Loud toga party went on until late, reception kept promising it would stop in 10mins for over an hour. Not quite relaxing. Additionally, the wedding we were attending in the event, the wedding cards were ‘misplaced’, hotel staff seen consuming wedding gifts the next day.

Incredible property. Some minor issues they have to pay attention to, like the A/C. But in summary the property and rooms (Family Room) are very good. After the first night they did not want to replace the natural water in the room, but after I made them see that it was unacceptable that in a room of more than €800 per night, they did not put water every day, they amended this issue.

Beautiful place, amazing pools, hit & miss food
The place is beautiful with amazing views and luxurious pools but the rooms have seen better days. We stayed in Il Borgo in room 214 and we paid over $300 for a night so we expected quality but the furniture was worn with scratches, the carpet had stains and the private garden that we paid extra for had not been taken care of recently. We're not complainers but we noted these issues to the reception and asked to be moved but they only offered us a room that cost $150 more per night which we thought was crazy so we stayed in the room and made it work. We moved onto the pool area which we found to be wonderful. There are Seven different pools with different water types, sizes and temperatures. We tested them all and thought it was nice to have the option. The pool bar was simple and easy with their home grown wines and a nice assortment of snacks for aperitivo. We were one of the last to leave at 20:00 and enjoyed ourselves. We then went to dinner at Il Grifone, their fine dining restaurant, and unfortunately it was not good. I ordered a risotto and the rice was raw. I had to send it back and that took another 20 minutes to then eat. My wife had a pasta dish that was particular and we knew that when she ordered it but it lacked flavor. They gave a discount but it was still expensive for the quality of food. However, Aurevo saved the day with high-quality and delicious food at lunch on our second day. They had healthy and light options as well a pizza. Eat here.

Feels like a real palace
Great staff, great feeling, great service, great location! We arrived at the hotel very late at night, when it was pouring rain all around and it was almost impossible to see a meter ahead. The hotel staff was very friendly and guided us over the phone regarding the best route, since the town was closed due to flooding. The room was huge in size, very comfortable and with an adjacent well-kept garden. A real dream.

Short break as a couple.
Travelled as a couple for a short break and enjoyed the hotel and it’s facilities. Lovely hotel, gorgeous grounds worth exploring and a vast spa with heated pools, great for cooler months. The 2 restaurants that were open when we visited were both great quality and good value with friendly service. We stayed in 2 different room types, both clean but could still do with a bit more attention to detail in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. Additionally, staff at breakfast and the front desk could be a touch friendlier though we did get amazing tips from one female member of staff at the front desk about surrounding areas. Great hotel to visit but a bit more attention in certain areas could make it amazing.

The location is great, the suite size and all is cool, but the service especially on breakfast is terrible.
