10/11/2025: We stayed at Feudi del Pisciotto Wine Relais for one week and overall had a mixed experience.
The positives:
The scenery around the vineyard is absolutely stunning - peaceful, picturesque, and perfect for relaxing walks. The wines are fantastic, and the restaurant’s tasting menus were a real highlight. Throughout our stay, the general customer service was friendly and helpful.
However, there were a few drawbacks:
The pool bar was closed during our visit, so we had to rely on room service for drinks, which was inconvenient. There was only one coffee machine available for all guests, and although our room was beautiful, there were some distracting noises from the pipes at night.
The biggest disappointment:
Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by the loss of a family ring that went missing while we were at the property. This ring had huge sentimental value to my partner, and despite raising the issue with staff promptly, the response felt slow and unempathetic. We were told they would check with staff and search the rooms, but I had to chase updates repeatedly, and it didn’t feel like the situation was handled with much understanding or urgency.
Although we do not directly accuse the staff of taking it, something just didn’t add up - as I expressed to the manager during our conversations. We searched everywhere ourselves, but the ring was never found, leaving us deeply upset and disheartened.
Recommendations for future guests:
• Hire a car — the area is quite remote.
• Don’t miss the restaurant and the lovely wines.
• Enjoy walking through the vineyards — it’s beautiful.
• Avoid bringing any luxury or irreplaceable items, just to be safe.
While there are many wonderful aspects to Feudi del Pisciotto, the way our loss was handled unfortunately left a lasting negative impression.
23/10/2025: The hotel is absolutely beautiful, and the wine experience and tour are of very high quality. Unfortunately, the dining experience in the restaurant doesn’t match the same level as the wine experience. My advice: don’t go for the tasting menu or the wine pairing — it’s not worth it.
The rooms are comfortable, but we had an issue with ours. The staff kindly changed our room, but no one offered us dinner, lunch, or even a discount after a sleepless night caused by a terrible pipe noise. Of course, accidents can happen, but offering only a bottle of wine (which probably cost them $1) felt a bit disappointing.
The place itself is a dream come true, so it’s a shame they weren’t fully prepared to make us feel 100% happy.
