Relais Il Canalicchio

We had an amazing stay. The propery and location are so beautiful and the staff went out of there way to make our stay perfect.

Relais Il Canalicchhio is in a beautiful location overlooking olive groves and mountains with lovely hamlets. Canalicchio is located among the hill towns in central Italy and provides great access to many hill towns in the areas, Gubbio, Spoletto, Orvieto, Cortona, Assisi, to name just a few, all within a short drive. The hotel service could not have been better, in that all questions were answered, every request was taken care of and always with smiles and graciousness. The main villa is absolutely gorgeous with very personal touches. Their motif is seen throughout the villa up to and including etched windows in the dining room, personalized ceramic tiles, hardwood furniture with the monogram, all very lovely and tastefully done. The outside of the estate is meticulously maintained with lush vegetation, and immaculate pool areas. The included buffet breakfast was always pleasing with specialities of the area, while the dinners could not be surpassed. Every night there were different offerings on the multi-course menu and served by a waitstaff that was attentive to your every need. The food, the wine, everything was excellent and served in a panaramic dining room with the perfect ambiance. There are multiple rooms in the villa that include a fireplace sitting area, billiard room and card room, a lounge area filled with artifacts and a bar area that sports a baby grand piano for live music. The main villa is a jewel.

A hotel with an absolutely stunning location. On a hilltop in rural Umbria. It has a bit of faded glory with much maintenance to be done. Food good and plenty of it, a little boring by the end of the week. Reception staff very friendly and helpful, Rachele in particular was lovely. Be careful what room you book as a village view could be looking at a stone wall. We were in a 1bedroomed apartment in the village resort. It was very roomy with lots of space and being at the end was a great location.

Lovely hotel tucked out in the sticks. It is about 3 miles from a main road up a twisty hillside before you get to the hotel so if you’re planning on excursions then you’ll need a hire car. The remote location meant many stayed at the hotel so the pools are crowded for their size. The food in the hotel was ok, but expensive. However, there’s a small restaurant just outside of the hotel which has great food at good prices, you need to book though!

Very good accommodation and helpful staff.

Very nice, historic hotel in a beautiful setting. It was hot and the room A/C was inadequate to keep the room cool.

The castle is absolutely beautiful, the staff are great, and uts a freaking castle in the mountains of Italy! The AC didn't work, luckily the weather was great, but July/august could be rough. Day trips to Assisi and Orvieto were amazing, but you must have a rental car. Breakfast was very good. The spa was good. The room was small, but the view made up for it.

A fantastic hotel. Very friend,y and helpful staff. Set in a wonderful position above the Umbrian countryside. Food excellent, prices reasonable.

We absolutely loved everything about this hotel! It was incredibly quaint and gorgeous in a fabulous setting. In addition, the location was perfect as we went in both directions (once down the mountain) to visit some of Italy's medieval towns. There was even an ancient chapel! Plus there was a pharmacy and grocery store right at the bottom of the mountain that we used. We highly recommend Relais il Canalicchio!
