Villa Cattani Stuart

The Villa sits on top of a hillside and is quite spectacular. It is spotless, with large and bright rooms. There are very comfortable beds and pillows. The charming owner of the villa takes customers through the historic and culturally rich family home which is now a museum. The Italian gardens are beautiful, as is the swimming pool area. The breakfast offers a good and wide variety and while the coffee on the self serve-table tastes like filtered coffee, you can request freshly made Italian style coffees as well. It is a peaceful place. There is lots of parking.

It was generally very good. However the first impression with one of the reception staff was a bit off putting; she insisted nervously and repeatedly for our passports, even though I had said they were in my luggage, and explained that I would bring them down after I opened the luggage in our room in a few minutes, which was what happened. There were no glasses in the room, only paper cups. This might be a left over from the covid era, but one would expect glasses in such a nice place. The staff do not automatically take your luggage to your room, they ask if they can help.

A beautiful place with lovely classical style gardens, glorious views over the mountains and very helpful staff. Big and varied breakfast in an elegant location. Would stay again anytime.

No onsite restaurant, so you have to walk a short distance to get to its partner restaurant. When we were there it was pouring with rain, so the staff lent us umbtrellas, but we still got soaked!

Beautiful domain, lovely breakout spaces, excellent service, excellent breakfast. Some reviewers complain about rooms being in a different (unattractive) building than the one from the pool picture: they are and it is not as issue at all.

Hotel like feeling rather than a B&B feeling. Not sure this is a disadvantage though, it is simply that I was expecting (rightly or wrongly) an agriturismo feeling. Just to be clear: you need a car (obviously).

Location, the property and the staff were great. Excellent breakfast.

Parking is a problem. You either park under the trees and collect loads of pine leaves and tree sap. Or you park in the sun on the sand and you get dust and watermarks from the hose used by the gardener. Massage is also a waste of money - I can better massage from my car seats.

Stunning buildings, gardens and overall location. pretty good breakfast for Italian standard, easy parking, great outdoor pool area and 4 min walk to great local restaurant

WiFi soso, besides outdoor pool no fitness facilities, at breakfast you can have one free coffee from the bar, thereafter paid (not expensive but for a high level villa why go cheap on the coffee?)

The staff, the place, the restaurant very close to the hotel, the Swimmingpool the view, the possibility to easily get a quiet room the staff at the breakfast especially the waiter was super hyper friendly. Lastly you can order using WhatsApp drink at the pool this is a suoer lovely idea. The 2 gentlemen at the reception are super friendly as well. It is really top of the range.

The check out time is too close to the breakfast end time. You do not wish to rush your breakfast in order to check out. The lady at the reception was hesitant to grant half an hour later check out while normally this should be easily offered at least this is what I get in other hotels. I was quite surprised to see that such a high end location does not easily offer it.

This is a first class hotel in every way. Our room was spotless. Excellent breakfast. The pool area was a wonderful place to relax. The property is so large that it is possible to do a 2km walk and not leave the premises. Vlla Cattani exceeded our expectations in terms of grandeur.

Nothing

Breakfast was lovely and matched my expectations, all set out in a delightful dining room. The swimming pool was excellent and was the terrace and grounds it was set in, with easily available sun beds, tables and parasols, and to top it all, magnificent views.

Limited lunch menu and not particularly effective air conditioning - in fact the air-con was next to uselss. Fortunately the evening were not that warm.

Standard rooms. Nothing special. Parking spaces in abundance. Pool is beautiful and offers welcome refreshment. No sports pool however. Staff friendly but sometimes not exactly solution oriented. Hard to explain. Other reviews mentioned help with luggage. Or rather lack of. Good breakfast but no restaurant for dinner. The only restaurant in walking distance is friendly, cheap and ... we only had a Pizza there...

After 5 years and about 15.000km by bicycle through Europe this was the first accommodation applying extra charges for bicycle spaces. Not that much but still a surprise.

The grounds and the old house were really interesting. Glad we were able to see round it The pool area was lovely.

Nice size of room but a little tired, the bathroom could be upgraded. .
