Aethos Saragano

We spent 4 magical nights in Saragano and wish we could stay longer! The food was by far the best we have had in Italy and we made a point to have dinner every night at the restaurant to try as much of Delfina’s cooking as we could! If you have time to set aside for a cooking class with her, do it! She’s such a wonderful person and she truly puts all of her love into her food. We were so impressed by the special care given to us by the woman who got Our room ready for us and also served us lunch one day. I’m not sure I ever got her name because she is an excellent task master and as soon as one thing was off her list she was onto the next! Our evening server in the restaurant, Ali, was the sweetest, most gentle person and took wonderful care of us. This special place has a magnificent landscape, but the real magic of the place lies within the staff that works there. They are led by a manager named Paul, who is a genius in relatable customer service. He creates a vision for each guest that keeps him and his staff on their toes at all times, always trying to do that extra little thing to ensure a unique and memorable experience. We got married during our time is Saragano and although it was only the two of us, we felt like we were surrounded by family because the staff is so wonderful and so loving. Thank you, Paul, for creating such a beautiful wedding for us! We hope to come back again!

What a magical place! I was lucky to spend three days at Saragano and it was nothing short of perfection. The town itself is so quaint and the rooms/apartments are nestled amongst the apartments for the locals. It felt like I was truly living in Italy. The room was clean, modern, and inviting. Mine included a hug picture window that looked out over the Umbrian countryside and it was cozy waking up to admire the view with a cup of coffee every day. Paul and his staff were so accommodating, making sure I had everything I needed at any point. Wine, snacks, water, a beautiful place to sit. CECI, the on site restaurant, puts out an delicious breakfast every morning and dinner is nothing short of an out of body experience. Delfina made me the best plate of pasta I had on my entire trip that warrant a repeat two nights later. The property overall offered a gorgeous pool and terraces to sit out on any relax. It was the best place to spend a few days relaxing. I will definitely be back.

The place is not what the hotel's website says! The pool was half full ( was being filled up by a hose extension). it took three days to fill it up. The pool area was completely abandoned with bathroom full of Dust and dirt. there were only two umbrellas at the pool area and we had to stay under a tree for the shade. sunbeds were dirty. No services at the pool. to get water we had to walk all the way up to the restaurant. Room is cleaned every three days. No car parking. lack of staff. The restaurant staff were very helpful. apart from the nice view on the beautiful Umbrian hill. It was an awful experience. and for the amount i paid I would rather stay at a 5 star luxury hotel. Its more of an Airbnb than a Hotel

First, the staff were extremely nice. But, I am at a loss to explain the comments of earlier guests. The hotel’s website shows a pool, promises a world class wine bar and a spa. The pool is an empty concrete hole at the present time, the wine bar doesn’t exist, and neither does the spa. We also did not have housekeeping. There is a huge gap between the website promises and the actual hotel. Perhaps it is because new owners took over relatively recently. But, do due diligence before booking.

What an extremly nice and marvelous place to be. We stayed here for @ four days. Good restaurant, breakfast. 👍👍Pool, everything is there and fine location to plan day trips and walks in the area. Staff is very helpfull and nake you feel at ease and comfortable at once.

This is such a lovely relaxing hotel. Situated in the centre of a quiet hilltop village with amazing views. You can’t help but feel at home and totally relaxed. The pool is a bit of a climb but worth the effort. The restaurant is fabulous, which is important as it’s the only restaurant for a few kilometres. The chef is a local lady who is passionate about traditional Umbrian cooking. Paul, the manager is a fountain of knowledge about the surrounding towns and such an engaging guy.

We had the most wonderful stay at Aethos with our 3 year old daughter recently. The hotel is amazingly located, tumbles through the village of Saragano, on the top of a hill with unparalleled views. The restaurant is absolutely superb - we ate there all three nights while our daughter slept - so many options and everything some of the best of our whole trip. Great location for popping to beautiful towns and wineries and - best till last - Paul the manager (and Mabel his dog!) are just amazing. Could not have been more helpful or accommodating or fun! What a joy. We’ll be back for sure.

What an amazing gem of a hotel/experience in the heart of Umbria! The rooms are clean and modern, the staff friendly, the food delicious and the scenery idyllic! Hands down recommend this to those traveling by car in Italy.

We were a group of 8 women traveling across Italy. This was a perfect place for us to relax and rest up for the second part of the trip. I can’t say enough about Paul and the staff (Pedro, gilerm, and delphina). They went out of their way, at every moment of our stay, to make sure we had everything we needed and more. The rooms were perfect and the views were breathtaking. We took a cooking class in the restaurant and are going to try to recreate what we learned, we took archery lessons, and spent an entire afternoon relaxing on the terrace. The food from the restaurant might just have been the best that we had during our 2 week trip- and we went to a few Michelin star restaurants. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.
