Spectacular property with helpful staff. Unique, imaginative room and bath arrangement. For us (me 82kg and my spouse 66kg) the bed was very hard and difficult to sleep on. This is a personal preference however, and a very, very firm bed may be preferred.

Our stay was absolutely perfect from start to finish! I truly cannot recommend enough. Antonio and Martina, Marrise…not sure of spelling…and staff did everything to make our stay warm and welcoming. If you have time do not miss out on their restaurant and wine… in almost two weeks in Italy … our top picks.

The room was super clean, the staff were really friendly, and the welcome wine was amazing. We switched room types between the first and second night, and this one had awesome natural light and great heating. Only thing was the water pressure—it was a bit low. Still, I’d totally come back here!

I stayed just one night. It was a lovely hotel well situated with friendly staff. It was cool waking up in a cave and I left before breakfast.
