Borgo Della Marmotta

Lovely old property and nicely renovated, but sadly fell a bit short of my high expectations, given the price. The hotel is somewhat let down by the facilities and service. Poor wifi, poor mobile coverage, plumbing issues, no water provided in the rooms (unacceptable) and the breakfasts were limited and boring.

This could not be a prettier country farmhouse, located about 10KM from Spoleto. The owners have done a fine job restoring the old buildings but retaining the sense of rustic simplicity. The public areas and pools offer many wonderful spots to relax in the peace and quiet of the surrounding countryside. We stayed five nights in an apartment that had two rooms and a basic kitchenette. During a five night stay, we ate dinner two nights at the hotel and two at their nearby sister restaurant, La Casaline. We ate decently at both though we much preferred the food and service at the latter. Like other reviewers have mentioned, there were occasional glitches. Frankly these issues with electrical and other mechanical devices seem to still be common in Italy. My own serious negative was with what is largely a seasonal staff. Resorts like these are at their nest when they are run by family, who are on site and who have a long history in hospitality and with the property. This did not seem to be the case at Borgo and was for me a major flaw.

Two nights at Borgo Della Marmotta. Vey appealing rural setting in Poreta, in close proximity to Spoleto and Spello. Great base to explore the southeast corner of Umbria. Helpful and friendly hotel staff. Lovely grounds and pool area. Communal areas and rooms on the property. Restaurant and breakfast area a short distance from accommodation. A couple of issues - the wifi in our room didn’t work ( was unable to be resolved by staff) - and as the mobile coverage was also patchy, one would have to walk around towards reception area to get any data access. The restaurant food was excellent, but apparently only changes the menu once per week - again, normally no big issue, but when we arrived, there were already three items taken off the menu, and the following night, a further two items were removed - with an already relatively limited selection, the options were limited. Lastly, there were numerous mosquitoes in the area, which meant that without window screens, windows needed to be closed - potentially ok if air conditioning functional, but alas, the hotel doesn’t turn the a/c on until summer. Sounds like a bit of a whinge, but we generally enjoyed ourselves and have favourable memories.

The most wonderful small hotel. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The rooms were all different and so stylish. The breakfast was outstanding with fresh cakes made every day. We had dinner once and it was lovely. The grounds were gorgeous and I would definitely return

This is a really nice hotel close to beautifyl Spoleto in Umbria. The hotel in the countryside with nice rooms and a nice swimmingpool. We had a suite - a family with one child - 16 years. The room was nice and also the bathroom. Unfortunately the A/C did not work really well so it was hot in the night. We got a fan but it was very weak and noisy. The pool is really nice with sunbeds. Unfortunately there were two dutch families with small children that were so noisy and that disturbed the calmness of the place. Shoud be a no children hotel. The breakfast was really nice and good. We had dinner one night in the restaurant and it was good.

We stayed three nights in a mix of classic and superior rooms (for price reasons). Classic is fine, but is next to a minor road so gets a little traffic but ok. Everything spotlessly clean, nice character, two big reception rooms which are v comfortable and a nice olive garden plus pool.

We had a great 3 night stay at this resort. Rooms are nicely appointed in a rustic old building. The grounds are amazing. Beautiful pool and garden area! Nice big living area in the main house. The restaurant here is great and very convenient. Close to Spoleto, Assisi, Bevagna and Spello.

Lovely spot, very relaxing. Pool needs a bit of maintenance and gardens pretty but quite weedy.

Borgo Della Marmotta absolutely wowed us and really exceeded our expectations. The whole place oozes style and class and our room/bathroom (the hotel upgraded us to superior at no extra cost) was extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean and very tastefully furnished. The red brick tiled floor was a particular triumph! All staff were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast (in the restaurant) was consistently good with lots of choice. The hotel is located in lovely Umbrian countryside and Spoleto is only a 15 minute drive away. Definitely one of the best bases we had on our tour of Tuscany and Umbria.
