Borgo Castello Panicaglia

OMG what a divine place. My daughter picked the Borgo for her destination wedding and, wow, did she pick the most perfect place. The scenery, the rooms, the food were all beyond compare. The staff went out of their way to make everything absolutely ideal. I don’t have even one small complaint, it was all exceptional. This is a 5 star plus venue. If you are considering a destination wedding, I would HIGHLY recommend the Borgo.

Out in the sticks. Need car and you may have trouble finding it. so spend enough time checking out the location to avoid driving in the wrong direction. definitely for nature lovers. A lot of stairs but splendid view once we got to our family room. Probably a haven for family with young kids. Seems like to offer all kind of activities during the kids holidays. check out their website for more details. Pizza dinner that took place on the heated patio was great. Very attentive and motivated service staff. Bfast relaxed very nice with huge selection of sweet pastries. Personally I would have preferred more bread selection and less pastries. Home made granola was delicious and so was the banana/berry milkshake! Makes sense to spend more than one night there to take advantage for this wonderful place.

Beautiful 13th century castle located in the hills of Umbria. Suites are spacious, well appointed with comfortable beds, Interior design Scandinavian style. European linens, and luxe bath products. Hotel Manager and Wine Director, Mirca Costanza Dirodi, has created a warm and inviting haven within the castle walls. Every detail has been considered to accommodate weddings, families, couples, inclement weather. Behind the scenes reflects skilled organization in service and staffing. Her wine selection has also been meticulously curated to reflect the region and a multitude of individual taste. Chef Federico Polito creates the most delectable and creative dishes from the gardens of the Borgo to the best sourced local ingredients for Osteria Panicaglia. He orchestrates his amazing cooks to present delicious vegetables and fruit from the gardens, house made breads and pastas, locally sourced meats, poultry, fish, and will accommodate any special dietary requests. Every person we encountered from the cooks, kitchen staff, servers, housekeepers, grounds-keeper, and maintenance could not have been more kind, gracious, and welcoming. A special extension of gratitude to Agnese, Michaela, Tom, Riziki, Christian, Kujtam, Beatrice, Dionne, Natalie, Daya, and Giole for making us feel a special part of the Borgo. Thank you again. We will forever remember the Borgo with heartfelt memories.

My family with two young children didn’t want to leave when our stay at the Borgo came to an end! It is a beautiful property with exceptional hospitality. We stayed in the 3-story family suite which was very comfortable. The master bedroom bed was quite firm and the bathroom a little small for the size of the suite but really, we’d be happy to just move in! We ate an incredible lunch in the restaurant. Additionally, Anne graciously recommended and reserved restaurants for us around Umbria that did not disappoint. The staff also helped us sort out a rather complicated purchase of football match tickets. Unfortunately it was too cold to enjoy the pool and hot tub but they looked very inviting. Nevertheless, our boys enjoyed frolicking around the property and a cooking class in their kitchen, as well as the arts and crafts room. The staff really went above and beyond to make us all feel at home. We can’t wait to return.

Beautiful setting, nice location, rooms and breakfast, big terrace. Slow and very easygoing service, waiting forever for food. Dutch ambience with lots of small kids, impossible to relax. Food not really Italian. Very overpriced for what it was.

If you want to make business banking transactions whilst staying here, this tip may help: The WiFi range drops out when you walk down away from the building area, and the mobile phone reception is very patchy - you need to head down the hill towards the children's playground and you can't get mobile data. If like me you need to receive a text message OTP code to make payments via online banking, then you will need concurrent WiFi and mobile reception. The best, possibly only place for this is a sweet spot in the herb garden, by the rosemary plant.
