La Palazzetta del Vescovo

My husband and I spent 8 magical days at La Palazzetta del Vescovo in October of 2023 and our only regret is that we did not stay longer. If you’ve read some of the other reviews you already know that this is a place of unbelievable beauty and tranquility. They did not exaggerate whatsoever. It is owned and lovingly run by a fascinating couple, Stefano and Paola who are attentive to every detail that might affect their guests. It is rare to see the level of professionalism these two bring while still maintaining a welcoming, comfortable, and warm atmosphere. Our large, well-appointed room was so comfortable and lovely, scrupulously clean, with spectacular views. I cannot think of a single thing it lacked. We started each day with a scrumptious breakfast featuring wonderful fresh local produce and pastries, with eggs and beverages cooked to order. Then, armed with advice from Stefano, frequently peppered by his dry wit, we would head off to explore one of the fascinating towns within easy driving reach. Perugia, Gubbio, Assisi, Orvieto, Spoleto, Spello, and many others are within 30 to 60 minutes driving time. After a day spent in exploration, it was absolute heaven to return each day to La Palazetta, to enjoy a snack from the afternoon buffet of pastries, fruits, and drinks while relaxing at the pool. For the 95% of the guests who typically opt to enjoy their evening meal on the premises (I can only assume the other 5% are poor decision makers), the highlight of the day began each evening at 7:30 when Stefano rang the bell, indicating the beginning of the time for aperitivo, a half hour spent enjoying a drink and small appetizers while becoming friends with the rest of the guests of the hotel who hailed from all over the world. At 8pm dinner commenced, prepared by Paola who is a wonderful chef. In this country of marvelous food at every turn, none was better than the meals presented by Paola. This is not just a great place to stay. This is an experience. La Palazzetta del Vescovo is simply perfect.

La Palazzetta Del Vescovo is the most beautiful of boutique hotels nestled in the Umbrian Hills of Italy. The vistas from the hotel perch is incredibly panoramic and while there in October 2023, every day was warm and enchanting. The food is impeccable and prepared by Paola (one of the owners of a husband-wife team) while Stefano is an expert sommelier and offers excellent wines, many of which are local. The room we stayed in was decadent and everything about La Palazzetta Del Vescovo is high quality including the staff that work with Paola and Stefano. The beauty that surrounds the property is breathtaking and the beauty of the interior is equally so. An amazing location close to the hilltop town of Todi - wonderful and serene!!

We came here for our honeymoon. La Palazetta is flawless, with every small detail well considered. The rooms are lovely and comfortable and Paola’s food was spectacular. The grounds are stunning and we both left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Would 1000% recommend to anyone travelling this way.

A wonderful two night stay. Beautiful property, setting, hosts and most of all food. Delightful aperitifs and wonderful four course dinners with really interesting and delicious wine recommendations.
