The heart of the structure is an ancient chappel which emanates soothing energies throughout the rebuilt monastery. Whoever conceived this project achieved a balance of grandeur, mystical encounter and a glimpse to how roman and turqiush baths most have looked like. The offering of the treatments is based on herbs which of course are grown and procesed in situ. We didnt know how good it is to lay on a fresh hay bed, sorrounded with herbs hanging either freshly gathered or in drying process. The impresion that we got as we entered the meditation space was that of entering an ancient temple to be purified in body and soul. After a routine of 2, 3 hours and stabilizing the body, we took long walks in these quiet hills with pure air and always return to the simple chapel to be embraced by the mistery. What stared as a romantic getaway ended in a kind of mystical union of souls. The people that tend the place have something of a monastic touch altough they look like regular people. There is a plus besides de good service, the kindness and care: I realized it was a kind of strong presence. You can not miss this one. On your way down you can always visit the lovely city of Assisi.

I came to Castello de Velona in September 2024 for a wedding. I can't tell you what a lovely place…read morethis is. The service is impeccable, the rooms cozy and the grounds and the view are amazing! I ended up renting a car and driving in from Firenze, which was not only a great option but an easy drive through the many vineyards in Tuscany. Upon arrival I was greeted by valets ready to help you with your car and help you unload your luggage. Upon entering, you're greeted by a beautiful restored castle with many pathways, that are intriguing. My room was nice, we had a small living room with a great view of the rolling knolls. I felt warped back in time. The upgrades give this place a nice touch of elegance and charm that made me feel right at home. The thermal waters that flow through their pools are both healing and relaxing. The staff is readily available to take ANY request. I honestly felt like royalty here. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner here. My only gripe is with myself, I wish I was more adventurous with their food. I have to admit, as an American, I'm used to large portions and feeling stuffed afterwards. I did not feel that here, in fact, the food was just enough and their wine and cocktails options were on par with my expectations. Come here to relax, come here to indulge in great service and delicious food. Come here because you need to get away from the city. You will not be disappointed.

The day of my massage, I got lost trying to get to them in the pouring rain. I arrived to my appointment 1 hour late and soaked to the bone from the rain. They were amazing! Not only did they welcome me with open arms, they took me in right away kept my appointment. Luna was my massage therapist and she was amazing. She did a fantastic job and even made some suggestions on some problem areas that were holding tension. If you are looking for a spa and need a massage, be sure to stop into this place, it's worth every effort to find them, they CARE about the people who find them. Luna is amazing but they are all kind and gentle with their guests.
