  From beginning to end, our week at Palazzo Massarucci was incredible! We were married in Spoleto, and 20+ family members stayed with us for the week. The wing off the main entrance made a perfect honeymoon suite, with private kitchen and luxury bathroom. The huge kitchen and attached living room made a very homey place for meals. It was also a place we spent hours cooking together as a family, and laughing late into the night as we played cards & shared the days adventures. You wake each morning to views from every window that make you feel very relaxed and definitely "away from it all." This villa was the only one we found that had a pool adjacent and close, enabling us to eat and entertain around the pool. The small store nearby kept us well supplied with necessities and all the wine we needed. The restaurant across the street, La Fontana, accommodated us for our rehearsal dinner and had wonderful food. Laura Burke was very accommodating as we planned our wedding week, and it went off without a hitch! Looking back, and viewing our pictures often, everyone who was there commented on what an amazing place it was, and what a fairytale wedding we had. We are planning on going back for anniversaries and we're sure everyone will want to join us again. It well exceeded our expectations and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a fairytale vacation.

  Siince I am in the lodging business I aways say those guests that have a bad time are the ones that always have time to write 'reviews'. Since our stay at Palazzo Massarucci was perfect, I have to let you know how very special this place is. For our celebration, with 16 of us meeting from different parts of the world, it could not have been better. Great accommodations, nicely furnished, remote location, and the staff could not have been more helpful. Wifi was a bit sketchy but fun to watch as guests huddled in the early morning to check emails.........but soon expressed there was really no point. We had all we needed. La Fontana catered 6 dinners for us that where exceptional, and the food kept coming, delivered to the table. Fresh and expressed so much of the local flavors. We are all talking about a return trip! Can hardly wait.

  Owner response: Dear Tuttle Family We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and we are looking forward to welcoming you back someday soon. We're installing a new internet system that they swear will penetrate these big thick walls so you won't get to enjoy the huddle guests in the morning next time. I will pass your lovely review on to La Fontana and to our staff. Thank you! Laura

  We just enjoyed a superb holiday in this wonderfully restored old castle. The new fittings are modern and comfortable while respecting the antiquity. The owner was very helpful as was her staff who settled us in and then left us to our privacy. It was a cold April but the castle was cozy and comfortable. We found it perfectly located away from hustle and bustle but near enough to enjoy many day tours. The restaurant, La Fontana, just below the castle was sublime with homemade pastas, good wines and delightful servers. We had children of all ages and they enjoyed all the nooks and crannies of the castle as well as the beautiful gardens and surrounding forests and trails. We plan to return in the summer months soon and we highly recommend it to all travelers. Five stars to be sure!!!

  Pallazzo Massarucci is incredible. My wife and I stayed there for a few weeks in March 2007. It’s an enormous place with large rooms, but very cosy at the same time. It was still too cold to use the outdoor pool so we had to “settle for” the sauna and nights around the fireplaces. And there’s plenty to do around the area. We ended up many afternoons just wandering around the hillsides. It’s an historic building but recently, and lovingly renovated with all modern conveniences. We can’t recommend the place enough. And the nearby restaurant has delicious, real, local food. A great deal for what you get. CindyHave just returned from a stay in this sensitively refurbished large old palazzo, beautifully restored without loss of authenticity or character, very comfortably furnished and fully equipped with everything one could possibly want. Very clean, and prompt service on hand for any problems. Wonderful grounds, with good size pool, covered dining area, fire pit for barbecues and grassed area. Fantastic all-round unspoiled views, extremely quiet and peaceful -- and very friendly village. Ideal for a getaway -- but not too remote for a large choice of more local sightseeing or a day trip to Rome, or just hill walking but we were far too relaxed to attempt that. Ideal for large groups or families -- we were ten adults and ten children; perfect location and accommodation. Highly recommended. Tony

  My family and I just got back from a wonderful week at this beautiful palazzo. There were 20 of us ranging in age from 3 to 89 and we all had a fabulous time. The house is beautiful with tons of space for everyone. It is very clean and well maintained. The gardens and the pool are beautiful. Though the surrounding area is lovely, we were often quite content to just relax either inside the house or outside in the beautiful grounds. The house is extremely kid-friendly, with lots of nooks to hide in and games for them to play. The kitchens (3), made it very easy for us to prepare great meals to feed everyone. The owner was extremely gracious - offering for us to move furniture around to best suit our needs, which was very helpful. The local store/restaurant next door was very convenient for small forgotten items and the people we met in the village were friendly. We had dinner at the local restaurant (La Fontana) the last night and both the food and service were wonderful. This is a terrific place for a get-away - we truly felt like we were on vacation. We did a few day trips to Spoleto which is a lovely town for sight seeing. I highly recommended this for a vacation and am counting the days until we can do a return trip.

  This is a great place. I took our whole extended family for a week and we loved every moment. Everybody had their place to get away from everybody else and everybody was happy. There is something for all ages. We were 3 years old to 86 years old. We loved cooking and drinking wine in the big open kitchen, sitting around the campfire in the evenings and taking great walks in the forests. It was a real five star experience for all of us. We highly recommend it.

  This wonderful palazzo was way more than we hoped for! Our family travels together every year and this was the best property we have ever rented, it was just perfect. We found everything we needed. The layout gave us all privacy and the kids were thrilled to find lots of toys and things to do. Even our teenagers were happy! We did do several day trips to surrounding towns and villages and found it all very convenient, the roads are safe and comfortable and clearly marked. The local restaurant just below the property is excellent. Nina the housekeeper was very helpful and gracious. Our meals in the garden and around the pool looking out at the spectacular views were unforgettable. Though we like to try new properties every year we have decided to return to this property again and again. We highly recommend it and just can't say enough. Price per quality it is far and away a bargain. Thank you Laura!
