We stayed for 6 nights in August with half board in a Junior Suite (upgrade offered from superior, thank you!), as a starting point for the rest of Umbria. I would like to point out that the view and the aesthetic aspect of the hotel are probably 6 stars. Incredible location with a view of Collepepe directly from the pool. Internally it still maintains the original structure of the Abbey.
Some other positive notes are the self-service drinks at breakfast (something you don't find often) and the numerous services, such as billiards and spa.
Unfortunately, in essence, it has very little of a 4-star hotel... In the room there were many things to improve: it had several dirty and ruined corners, it seemed hastily painted and there were stains of color everywhere, the shower rod was of poor quality and full of limescale, the shower was missing a support for bathroom products, double bed made with 2 singles (in junior suite....), very uncomfortable pillows, completely absent soundproofing both towards the garden and towards the stairwell and towards the other rooms (we had some difficulty sleeping on the first day).
As for the restaurant, the guys are all very kind, but even there there are many details to improve: dirty cutlery, glasses and placemats (the latter clearly reused for dinner from breakfast).
The swimming pool is beautiful as a context, but it needs cleaning and fixing in various parts, starting from the yellow halo on the edges.
In short, a hotel paid for as a 4-star, which is worth 3 stars, but with the potential of a 5-star. I hope that the details are fixed because the location is unique!
A special mention to the reception staff for their kindness!
P.s. lots of beautiful kittens!
P.s. the road to the hotel is a bit bumpy.

Lights and shadows on our experience. Beautiful and generally well-kept structure, very nice and clean rooms and really friendly staff. Good breakfast even if it doesn't have 4 stars. Really terrible restaurant, I have rarely had such a negative experience. Even if I have to say the staff is really friendly, the portions are decidedly small and the quality is below average. I was really disappointed by the appetizer of cold cuts and cheeses. €18 for a plate with 2 slices of raw ham, 2 of salami, 2 of cooked ham, 2 of mortadella and 2 pieces of cheese that were the same as the breakfast. Lasagna was also nothing special. Too bad. Overall I recommend going there, without taking advantage of the dinner (there are excellent restaurants nearby).

It is beautifully situated on a mountain that is difficult to access, you need a car to get here. We had expected a lot from the food in the restaurant, but that was very disappointing... I come from the catering industry myself and I really have a good eye for it. The food is prepared with as little as possible, very cheap... actually with the cheapest of the cheapest... we had to make do with it... we were here for 10 days. The maitre of the restaurant regularly had his hand in his crotch .....

Beautiful Resort nestled in the greenery, far from the big centers, if it is relaxation that you are looking for this place is ideal! Housed in an ancient monastery of Solaco on several floors, truly fascinating, walking through the central body you can still see the original parts with cloister that overlooks for example the breakfast room.
Clean and functional rooms, not very large but perfect with everything you need and our room had a huge shower.
Spectacular garden with two large swimming pools in the greenery of the beautiful garden.
Excellent bar service, capable barman and good company for the customers with kind and polite ways knows how to propose the right cocktails and variations.
I give four stars instead of five only because unfortunately, at the restaurant the à la carte menu, in my opinion does not reflect the level of the structure: banal and retro dishes, the quality not entirely adequate, although the choice of wines from their cellar and the aged meats were truly spectacular and the pieces chosen cooked to perfection!
If you eat meat, the restaurant is really excellent, the rest of the dishes offered instead I found them banal and with a "retro" flavor.. I suggest as a customer who has traveled and works in the sector a little innovation in the cuisine and in the dishes offered, with this little extra attention even this service would make everything top!

Large but cozy resort, on top of a mountain with a beautiful view. The road to the resort is a bit bumpy, but what awaits on the top is worth the ride! With a Spa, gym and bar this resort truely has it all. Eventhough the room (standard dubble room) is not very large, it is spacious enough for the two people sleeping there. It was very clean and neat. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The poolarea is very well maintained and the pool is clean. Definitely a place to relax!

From a superior 4 star structure I expect more.
The place is very beautiful, the building well-kept, clean, very particular. Nothing to say.
The breakfast was not up to par, a machine to make coffee, chocolate or tea. The juice one is pitiful.
The service is very welcoming, the bar is very kind and the aperitif by the pool (with a 14 euro supplement) is worth it.
Nothing to say about dinner, not even too expensive and the food is good.
The rooms are not soundproof, at 6 in the morning you hear the person upstairs or next door going to the bathroom and flushing the toilet.
The spa was a disappointment. Only 4 people, 30 euros and must be booked. In 3 days we managed to do only 50 minutes.
Not bad but it doesn't have the magic it deserves.

A work of art of a place, the spa was simply fantastic.The cats follow you! There are three (I saw three) beautiful, well fed cats that are the cherry on top.
The rooms are lovely, even the most modest one had a large bed and a fully equiped bathroom.
The staff is lovely, hardworking and very friendly. Despite the slight language difficulty, each and everyone works their best to understand each and every request the client(s) may have.
Perhaps I'll be a bit biased as an art student myself, but i could not help but write wonders about the place. How an abat got reformed into such relaxing, meditative place is a demonstration of the beauty of rural Italy.
It's also very easy to access, with a multitude of walks alongside the forest which surrounds the area.
I'm allergic to pinneaple, and due to tiredness, and not looking well, ended up ordering a drink containing pinneapple (ananas) .
The bartender was not only as attentive as to ask me whats wrong, but to redo the drink with no payment.
(I still paid, you guys deserve nothing but the best!)
The rooms where lovely. I got a modest one, and even that was splendid. A huge, probably queen sized bed, a view of the local flora to wake one up... I had nothing but a wonder of a week.
