8/10 Very Good
Feb 15, 2016
Authentic!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The property is gorgeous, perched on a hillside with expansive views of the Marche countryside. Understand that it's not the Ritz-Carlton, rather, it's an old, totally authentic-feeling stay in the rustic Italian countryside. Our little suite was cozy, warming up (this was February) just enough to be comfortable, while the air was cool and crisp to the point we slept very soundly. On that note, by Italian standards, our bed was definitely on the better end, very soft. The water was hot. No wifi in the room that we could discern, and a small TV, but let's be honest, if you're at this place and stuck on those things, you're missing the point.
Very good on-site restaurant featuring the best, fresh local cuisine. The breakfast pastries were great, while the breakfast spread is limited (again, understand that we're talking about a country where small breakfasts are the norm). The property is just so charming, with antique furnishings, tools and art scattered throughout. Also very convenient to UNESCO World Heritage-city Urbino, less than a five-minute drive.
If you're looking to get out into real, rural Italy, this is the place. We would absolutely return.
