Family hotels and homes in Fagnano Castello

After an easy but steep climb in our hire car up a single-track lane (fully expected as the remote property is high on a hillside, plus most roads we'd experienced in Italy are rutted/potholed!) we arrived via a manicured, floral driveway. Although we were early, we were welcomed by the owners' son with water and cappuccinos and he seated us under the shade. He then checked us into a spacious, immaculately clean en suite bedroom on the 1st floor which, from the balcony, has breathtakingly spectacular views down the hillside, sweeping across the valley to sea. The garden was also well-manicured and with various fruit trees, swinging chairs, hammocks and a variety of shaded seating & loungers under pagodas and interesting artwork. As it was 28 degrees, we didn't use the sauna! The jacuzzi was lovely and the vanishing edge pool, from which one can admire the sweeping views, is pure bliss. We enjoyed a flagon of homemade craft ale and complimentary homemade lime & mint cordial. Although there isn't a restaurant or menu, when we enquired where we could dine, Ricardo very kindly said she'd cook for us. We were given a platter of delicious home-cured meat and local cheeses, followed by a very tasty spaghetti & vegetables dish. Breakfast was an outstanding array of homemade delights, all displayed on a wagon in the breakfast room. Literally everything was homemade and home-grown from the yoghurt, honey, fig syrup, fritatta, chilled vegetables, breads, several cakes, cookies, granola and two excellent fresh fruit smoothies. We felt very spoilt and everything was delicious. The 2nd night Ricardo very kindly cooked for us again. Jokingly my husband asked for Tiramisu for dessert, so we were stunned that she said she'd actually just made a coffee semi-fredo (ready for breakfast) and he was welcome to some. Wow it was sooo delicious. Needless to say we enjoyed more of it for breakfast too! A truly superb stay and we'll certainly...

The views from the hotel are amazing and the service during our stay was wonderful. We had dinner at the hotel both nights and it was excellent. Love to come back some day

My stay at Villa Betta was very pleasant. I am very satisfied of the kindness of the owners as well as their flexibility. Cleaning service was good, too.

The host Cristian was super friendly and helpful, he is very flexible, provides a lot of recommendations and organizes everything you need. The food in hotel restaurant is great and for breakfast you can get always coffee and cornetto:)The place is very cozy and beautiful, great swimming pool.

The property is family run , the owners really care about their guests’ experience and made us feel very welcome.

On top of a hill with beautiful views all around. It was our relaxing part of our trip and the staff were so helpful, swimming pool closed (out of season) so they brought up loungers on the balcony. They set up the spa which was a lovely treat.

Everything was spotless and comfertable, restaurant was good also breakfast was resmable in all i would recomend this Motel

Friendly helpful staff. Restaurant had a good choice of food. Good value for money.
