Awards Candidates 2019

05/10/2025: The owners, besides being incredibly kind and courteous, have created a spectacular hotel and offer a spa just for you! We went here for a two-day vacation. We had dinner at their restaurant, and it was simply fantastic (try the venison). I trusted them with the wine selection, and it didn't disappoint—delicious! Fantastic selection of Italian and international wines! Highly recommended!

27/07/2025: I just want to say to anyone considering this property: DON'T HESITATE TO BOOK! Experiences so perfect, from start to finish, are rare. My boyfriend and I chose their "romantic getaway" package, and now that we've sadly returned home, we can say we've given ourselves a huge treat. The property is truly beautiful, well-designed, and meticulously maintained. I've attached photos of their lobby with its giant banana tree, a space with an incredible view of the surrounding hills. The rooms are delightful, spotlessly clean, and equipped with every comfort. We spent two full days relaxing by the pool, also taking advantage of the poolside lunch service. We ordered two focaccias, which were surprisingly delicious (at a ridiculous price, too—hats off). The package also included an hour and a half of exclusive spa time. Here too, we were pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail: the space isn't huge, yet it's been truly thoughtfully designed. There's a large jacuzzi, a relaxation area, a hammam, a sauna, and showers with various settings. We also found an aperitif waiting for us, unexpected and very welcome. The real jewel in the crown, however, is the I Rodella restaurant: one of the best dinners of my life. The quality was top-notch in every detail: from the raw ingredients to the concept of the pairings, both traditional and innovative. Everything we tried was impeccable, so I recommend them all: the wagyu tartare and the veal fillet, both wonderful, meats that truly melt in your mouth, paired with flavors that complement them perfectly. The tagliolini with truffle was amazing. The desserts were equally wonderful and cleverly conceived. The sablé with caramelized figs took home the award for best dessert of recent years. Simple yet complex, an explosion of flavors and textures we'll never forget. The service, in keeping with the establishment's family-style hospitality, is courteous and attentive, ready to address any inconvenience with a smile—which, however, never happens because they're too good. The off-menu entrees and pre-dessert were very welcome, and their baked goods are also exceptional. Considering the price, this dinner was a gift. We can't wait to go back! "Highly recommended" is an understatement. We will recommend it to everyone, of course, and it will definitely be a regular stop for us. Congratulations, and thank you again for these 48 hours of pure relaxation and joy (especially for the palate!).

06/01/2026: We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday and our anniversary on January 2nd at Ristorante Vespasia. It was an incredible experience, one we'll definitely repeat. We left feeling full, excited, and entertained. The atmosphere is one of our favorites. We're regular guests at Palazzo Seneca. The atmosphere is peaceful, intimate, and familiar. The people who work there are exceptional, from the waiters to the head waiter, the pastry chef, and even the Michelin-starred chef Fabio Cappiello, whom we met during dinner. It was a wonderful human experience. Besides being a magician in the kitchen, he turned out to be a wonderful person to get to know. We met everyone the next day at breakfast at Palazzo Seneca, and we ended our stay on a high note. We recommend it to anyone who wants to unwind, rest, recharge, and feel pampered.

21/11/2025: Intimate restaurant and excellent food

16/02/2026: Excellent restaurant with refined, high-quality cuisine. Small and intimate, it's best suited to couples or adult groups. For me, the only drawback is that it's very central and difficult to find parking nearby.

25/01/2026: We went last night as a couple. Very friendly staff. Unique dishes with bold yet well-balanced flavors. The Valnerina ramen was truly excellent. My girlfriend, who is celiac, was able to eat almost everything, including the first course. We chose the à la carte menu, which I recommend because the prices aren't high for the quality offered; on the contrary, I would recommend increasing the prices of the dishes given the quality, the combinations, and the service provided. Congratulations to everyone. We will definitely be back.
