I’ll start with the pros Pros: We booked the deluxe suite with private pool - very beautiful spacious room with Neutral, minimal decor. The Monteverdi forest views were spectacular. Very comfortable stay. The spa was very clean and spacious. We booked the 50min body massage each. The staff and service were excellent. Very clean and bright infinity pool. The water wasn’t too cold. Bar staff excellent. Cons: We booked the restaurant for dinner. Unfortunately the service left a lot to be desired. Some items from the menu had run out and there was a very non Chalant attitude from the staff in response to this. I’m currently pregnant hence the lack of choice further excavated this. (E,g, I specifically requested for well done steak but was presented with a medium rare finish) There was one particular staff, elderly looking with shoulder length hair who was extremely rude. I believe he is management. Appalling job of managing a busy restaurant. There was a tall looking waiter, who was very friendly The rooms, though nice, could have had a telephone for room service, tea/coffee making facilities and more varied channel choices. Given that this hotel attracts tourists from all over Europe, a wider choice of channels wouldn’t have gone amiss. Only Italian channels were available. Overall, an ok weekend stay with massive potential for improvement

“Village of the damned”

Can I start by saying that this place should be fabulous, but sadly ,it’s not. Location is fantastic and the facilities are good,BUT, the rules and regulations are ridiculous.

Can I start by saying that this place should be fabulous, but sadly ,it’s not. Location is fantastic and the facilities are good,BUT, the rules and regulations are ridiculous. Hard and fast rules that ridiculous swim caps, handed to you on arrival and then charged for them at the end, are worn by all in the pool. Even my hubby who has more hair on his body than he has on his head. “Quiet “ time most of the afternoon when the pools were shut and no noise was to be made, bins to be emptied off site in the village dumpster......crazy. The first room we were shown to was musty and smelled of gas and mould with no windows to ventilate and set off my asthma. Second room was acceptable but still felt run down and deserted. The whole place had an eerie empty feel to it and visitors were few and far between. We only slept and ate breakfast every day and took off out to normality,, only returning to sleep. Final straw was being pulled up in the dining room by a very loud waitress for not paying for breakfast,, which we had as it was included in our booking. Vey humiliating. It’s such a shame about this place as it should be fantastic, but it’s just not. We won’t return.
