Urbisaglia Holidays from £277

Friendly staff, great rooms, and excellent breakfast and restaurant.

Strange service interaction at breakfast. Apparently I did not sit at the "designated" table for my room. There were number cards on some of the tables but I did not see at first. I can't imagine why this is even neccessary. I travel for business 3 months a year and have never seen such a system for hotel breakfast. This was a very big empty dining room with many tables and few guests. When one of the employees saw that I apparently did not sit at the very specific table, she made me pick up my food after I began eating and walk all the way across the room, maybe 25 meters to another table. What kind of service is this? Was that neccessary? Is it how you properly treat a guest? I'll remind you that the giant room was nearly empty from the time I arrived and left. She did this in a cold manner. Throughout the rest of the 20 minutes that I sat at the "correct" table, never saw another employee to ask for coffee. This is not anywhere near the level of service I would expect from a 4 star hotel and for this price. Will be certain to avoid this hotel when I return.

Remote location on top of a hill. Unless you have a car or are able to climb lots of stairs to return from the town not a good location. There are no food options other than the hotel’s anywhere near. Oddly, while there is a kettle for making tea or instant coffee there are no black tea options…only herbal teas. Even after I asked the room attendant she said only herbal teas. As an older couple without a car we felt a bit stranded. We did walk the “shortcut” to town but it was not attractive nor interesting but was necessary.

Breakfast was lovely. I did not use the spa. We had dinner on the property and it was the best meal and experience from our trip to Italy.

Breakfast is nice! Dinner is nice! Wine is nice! Staff is Nice!
