Posta Donini 1579 - Una Esperienze

Fabulous hotel. The service was excellent and the hotel and rooms were maintained to a high standard. Peaceful location but a 15/20 min taxi ride into Perugia. Would recommend.

A very attractive hotel, verdant gardens and the warmest of welcomes from fabulous reception staff. We stayed in a junior suite which was stunning: spotlessly clean, quiet, top floor, massive bed and excellent bedding, air conditioning, tea/coffee making facilities and complimentary soft drinks. Swimming pool was large, clean and cold! No cushions on the chaise longues and rarely saw staff outside. First day was delightfully quiet in the garden with plentiful bird singing however the next day the birds were drowned out by the sound of building works next door, with constantly beeping reversing vehicles which on our second day started at 0700. The next day it started at 0730 which was an improvement and meant we could have a lie in without being woken up. Apparently the work is for the hotel’s event side of things (as well as roadworks) and there were various events being held at the hotel but nothing intrusive because the grounds are so big and most people attending the events didn’t venture into the main hotel and swimming pool area. The restaurant was fine - a little too much veal for my liking and the mixed vegetables with the main courses consisted of potatoes so not enough green veg for us. The restaurant staff were pleasant and efficient, especially the Russian waitress. The restaurant manager was a little abrupt but worked hard. The spa treatment was excellent and again, delightful staff. Surrounding area was a typical working small town with a small supermarket, couple of pleasant bars, church, school etc. Train service is excellent and cheap but you’ll need a taxi to get to the nearest train station and taxis are quite expensive. Best bet is probably to hire a car.

Set in an unassuming part of Tuscany - this place was truly amazing! From the moment we arrived to leaving two days later, everything was exceptional. The staff were so kind and helpful, the room luxuriant and decadent and the small touches out of this world. The pool was calm and peaceful, and everything was thought of. Breakfast was a feast of Tuscan elegance - I have never seen a Nutella dispenser before!! We took the tour from Luara and most interesting it was too - We even received a complementary upgrade to the best room 103 with a painted ceiling!
