    Historic rustic, with modern conveniences; makes you ask, "I wonder how they lived?"

    The cobblestones are quite slippery in the winter snow. But that's the town, not the hotel.

    It is a very unique experience in living in a medieval apartment, with some modern conveniences (like heated floors, plumbing, electrical, wifi and linen). The restaurant was welcoming for dinner and breakfasts (top quality food and wine) and the cantinone was a pleasant evening pub like atmosphere. Everything was very dog friendly, and that was also very appreciated. It is important for visitors to know that this isn't a typical hotel with a tv and other specific modern touches. The photos are very accurate. The door locks are sometimes a little tricky, but not a problem, just some extra character. I highly recommend people come here, and step back into history.

    Too much pecorino, I mean it’s in everything, breakfast, lunch, dinner. I don’t really like pecorino.

    It’s exactly as described, a lovely rustic stay in a wonderful mountainous location. Particularly loved the e bike tour and the truffle hunting.

    I enjoyed the breakfast. However, my vegan companion couldn't find anything to eat.

    A few more people may have made it better, but that's not guaranteed. I like being left alone.

    A small feedback, some of the items on the restaurant menu need more accurate description as one of our orders was nothing like how it was described on the menu. But overall we really enjoyed our stay.

    Breakfast was fabulous and the room was very comfortable. I loved the little touches like candles and we enjoyed lighting the fire in the room. Highly recommended.

    See above

    Well - if you want to experience a stay in the Middle Ages then this is your place albeit with a few mod cons like underfloor heating and a new bathroom. But the rest is medieval. Rooms are dark, mattress is very firm and beds are extremely high - make sure your room has a toilet door ! Restaurant is nice for breakfast but a bit limited for dinner. Rooms are all over the place and make sure that you can climb stairs. You might need an umbrella to go for breakfast and/or dinner. Parking is a challenge but you can pull up near reception and somebody will help you with your luggage.

    We had an absolutely fantastic stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The lobby was beautifully decorated and had a lovely, relaxing vibe. Our room was spacious and spotlessly clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable - I slept like a baby each night. The bathroom was very original and well-appointed. Overall, I can't say enough good things about our experience. The location was stunning, the amenities were fantastic, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable and relaxing stay. I will definitely be returning the next time I need a rejuvenating "trip into the past" getaway!

    This place was beautiful! Fireplace in shared room was cozy. The candles added a luxurious nod to the simple yet elegant atmosphere. Very quiet and peaceful. The hotel provided special surprises for our four-legged family member. The proximity to a hiking trail was an unexpected bonus! We even flew a kite from the breezy hillside.

    There is a very interesting story about this Albergo Diffuso. The village is amazing and the room is very nicely rennovated and very confortable. The staffs were very kind and helpful in carrying baggages, booking restaurants and telling us the story. Breakfast and lounge were also very nice abd confortable, as well as the restaurant.

    What a unique hotel high up in the mountains in a 16th century abandoned village. The floors and ceilings are original with comfortable beds made of wool. Modern bathrooms though. Lovely soap and oil in the bathroom. Staff were fantastic. The restaurant was rustic. We also enjoyed the extra activity of truffle hunting. The separate bar was also excellent

    Lack of options for cocktails was the only negative, but other options more than satisfied us.

    Learning about the history of the project, the location, breakfast was outstanding, bed was super comfortable. We loved the linens, soaps and artifacts. The candles were amazing, providing a sweet glow even during the night, to allow you to see your way around the room without using the lights....they provided a warm glow that did not disturb your sleep.

    The town is undergoing remodelaciones and construction to become a more complete attraction for visitors. At the moment there is a lot of scaffolding and few activities.

    A marvelous experience. Staying at this hotel is a trip in of itself. The restaurant for dinner is a must do not miss it.

    It is a unique property comprised of various buildings in this historic, medieval, I believe, hill settlement. The spaces are unique and I appreciate that the hotel is breathing life into a place which may have fell into disuse previously. The staff is very professional and friendly as well.
