La Macina di Bettona

Ottimo posto il proprietario persona gentilissima e disponibilissima consigliatissimo sicuramente ci ritornerò

We booked this hotel on a spur of the moment decision and it was a great decision! It is beautifully located overlooking fields and little town and the mountains and sunsets are gorgeous. It is it's own small village with everything you could need in a hotel including pool, spa, gym, and perfect patios for sitting and reading or just having a glass of wine. The staff were so knowledgeable and helpful with anything presented to them. And the food.... wow. So delicious and with local cheese, breads, and meat it was fresh and delicious. The rooms were so clean and neat, and the views (no matter where you were) were beautiful scenery! I would go back in a heartbeat, highly recommended.

22 friends and relatives from Australia were invited to celebrate a 70th birthday in Italy and La Macina di Bettona was chosen for the venue. It was absolutely perfect. Liz made the initial booking easy by answering questions promptly and expertly. Midst many of her talents she speaks fluent English and Italian. All couples had their own beautiful apartment with ensuite bathroom, lounge and cooking facilities. The whole estate, owned by Roberto and his family is absolutely spectacular and beautifully managed, both inside the apartments and outside in the gorgeous landscaped gardens. Upon our arrival Liz had arranged for us to have dinner in the restaurant which is on the property, and where we all met Roberto and his family. A beautiful family and a wonderful host. Our Italian dinner was superbly prepared and presented by Roberto's family. The grandchildren spent many hours in the sparkling clear swimming pool. There were many highlights on our trip, especially visiting centuries old hill-top towns, Montefalco, Spello, Assisi, Bevagna, Perugia, all of which were close to the property. Roberto taught us to play Bocci which proved to be most enjoyable. A wonderful holiday and a perfect place to relax.

I have to admit: We have been there once before three years ago. But this time three generations in two flats. As we experienced in 2007 the hospitality of the Host - Roberto - and his family is second to none. The weather in Bettona makes the interior of the flats not particularly important, but nevertheless they are charming should a day be covered by rainy clouds. The surroundings far more well-kept than most of the farm houses that we know of. Indeed a recommendable place whether you are searcing for a calm place to relax or a place as a starting point for trips out into the pittoresque Umbrian landscape.
