Relais Il Canalicchio

We stayed for 5 nights as a family of 4 with 2 kids in the apartment. The location of the hotel was amazing, high on the mountains with beautiful views and sunsets every evening. The staff are lovely and are very helpful. The place is abit rustic and some things are a bit run down eg baby cot wasn't flat, our air con didn't work the first night (although this was fixed after one day). You definitely need a car to stay here as it is in the middle of nowhere, but once you do have a car, there are lots of charming Italian villages to visit closeby.

Relais Il Canalicchhio is in a beautiful location overlooking olive groves and mountains with lovely hamlets. Canalicchio is located among the hill towns in central Italy and provides great access to many hill towns in the areas, Gubbio, Spoletto, Orvieto, Cortona, Assisi, to name just a few, all within a short drive. The hotel service could not have been better, in that all questions were answered, every request was taken care of and always with smiles and graciousness. The main villa is absolutely gorgeous with very personal touches. Their motif is seen throughout the villa up to and including etched windows in the dining room, personalized ceramic tiles, hardwood furniture with the monogram, all very lovely and tastefully done. The outside of the estate is meticulously maintained with lush vegetation, and immaculate pool areas. The included buffet breakfast was always pleasing with specialities of the area, while the dinners could not be surpassed. Every night there were different offerings on the multi-course menu and served by a waitstaff that was attentive to your every need. The food, the wine, everything was excellent and served in a panaramic dining room with the perfect ambiance. There are multiple rooms in the villa that include a fireplace sitting area, billiard room and card room, a lounge area filled with artifacts and a bar area that sports a baby grand piano for live music. The main villa is a jewel.
