Abbazia Collemedio Resort & Spa

The place is an architecturally restored monastery, beautifully and sensitively converted into a hotel. The setting gives commanding views over the spectacular Umbrian landscape. The staff are very special, professional but friendly with lots of warmth, charm and humour. We spent 10 glorious days there in June and have booked to return in September. Can’t wait!

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.

Very disappointing stay. Food was poor, overpriced, and not up to standard - we ate at local restaurants after one bad dinner. Despite being on half board, we were charged extra for tap water and a “cover charge” for cutlery and tablecloths. None of this was explained in advance, and we were forced to pay on check-out. The hotel refused to refund us even after we raised the issue. Rooms were dated, some staff were rude, and facilities were clearly in decline. Would not return or recommend.
