This is another property many have a difficult time finding due to it being a new property and off of a dirt road and up a hill. A kind local Italian gent steered us in the correct direction. We had a very relaxing stay at this property. We took day trips to Florence and Sienna from this location. Built March 2019, this property once a private residence is now modern luxury resort in Tuscany. The rooms are brand new and spacious, we had a suite with dining and living room. We had a whirlpool hot tub in our room but never got the chance to use it, used the pool instead. The pool and outdoor dining spaces were thoroughly enjoyed. There are mosquitoes on the property as in much of Tuscany region, they have bug spray if you need it, and a plug in electric bug repellent. We noticed many got good rates, ours was higher due to booking last minute and also requesting a suite. Parking and Breakfast are included. Both nights we chose to dine at the property which is not inexpensive. One night was stellar, the other just so so. Breakfast was adequate, the scrambled eggs were too rich, I think they were made with heavy cream, the granola and jams were outstanding.

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon and can't recommend it enough. We wanted to stay…read moresomewhere a little bit outside of Florence because we were visiting Rome, here, and Positano, so we were hoping this would be the more relaxing part of the trip after being in the city of Rome. That is just what we got, this Villa is absolutely beautiful and the restaurant attached is great as well. That being said we did choose to rent a car for these 3 days of our trip and I feel that is definitely in your best interest to do if you're staying here but also want to see wineries around the area and Florence. This place is about 30 minutes outside of Florence which we made that drive twice, once to explore the city and once to do a guided wine tour that left from Florence. The sunset here was beautiful, the room was clean, and the staff was so nice. We got massages in the spa as well and they were incredible. If you want to feel like you're experiencing the beauty of Tuscany I would recommend this place to anyone.

My husband is premiere elite with Marriott bonvoy and is suppose to be automatically promised a room with the best view and our first room was just a brick wall. We went back to the front desk and said something esp since it was our honeymoon and they were kind enough to upgrade us to a terrace view. I will say if you stay here take advantage of the free breakfast but go out of town for lunch and dinner. We did dinner at the resort the first night and waited an hour once seated to order... you can go to the cute town in barga to go out to eat. Many delicious food we found and cute bars. The rooms are very nice! We did a couples massage one day and loved it. Love the vibe at the pool also. Will be back for sure!

It was one of those "buy the ticket then figure out when you're going" situations (if anyone else does that...). Luckily, this wound up being a great decision. The Relais is the quintessentially charming Italian getaway we were hoping for. The staff is exceptionally friendly (and for the most part speaks nearly perfect English - a major plus when your Italian is as cringe-worthy as mine). They really were fantastic. Be forewarned, the resort itself is about 35-40 minute drive from the actual city of Perugia. There is basically nothing on-site except their passable restaurant and a small spa. It's perfect for people who really want to unwind, but not ideal as a home-base for touring the area. (One half-star off for this.) The restaurant on-site is OK, but honestly was one of our least favorite meals in Italy. (Another half-star off for this.) We wound up going down the street several times to a small place called La Locanda del Colle; you will absolutely need a reservation because it's tiny and DELICIOUS. My recommendations if you pass through and decide to stay in the area: brace yourself for the most unbelievable views, morning and night. It's truly breathtaking! Also, if you are looking for a wine tour, we really liked Gusto Wine Tours. They are local and regularly pick folks up from the Relais. (No Yelp page so just shouting out here!)

In addition to the swimming pool and spa, there is a riding school, 12 km of trails, a vineyard, a wine cellar, a church and much more.

Finally, it's perfect location: just half an hour from the motorway, it is barycentric to all the historical attractions (such as Urbino), naturalistic (such as the Furlo Gorges), the sea and the many villages in the area.
