Villa di Corliano Relais all'Ussero

The property is stunning. The grounds are just lovely,. I stayed in late april and even then the walk to my car after dark was gorgeous, just due to the fireflies and blooming orange blossoms. The history of the property is fascinating, and the young lady at the reception desk was you good enough to give me a brief tour, which I really appreciated. This villa has some of the best frescoes i've seen. Breakfast was excellent. The onsite restaurant is also spectacular with a wonderful staff. My flight was delayed, so I checked in myself, and the process was very simple.

There was very little that I didn't like, and none of it was enough to keep me from staying here again.If I get the opportunity. It is a bit out of the way from a lot of popular destinations, but I wouldn't care about that at all and would be willing to drive a good distance for day trips in order to stay there. However, the bed could have been more comfortable. It wasn't awful, but it was a little inconsistent with the quality of the property. There are 2 flights of steps to get to the rooms so that is something to be aware of when you are considering what to pack. I was only passing through and staying for just one night so I didn't bring most of my things in from the car and I was not at all concerned about the security of my belongings at that property. I would have been fine even without being able to lock my door for that matter. My only other observation was that I went to breakfast in the morning and just chose a table to sit at randomly. I wasn't paying attention and didn't realize that the tables are actually assigned to the rooms for some strange reason. A few minutes later, a woman came and informed me that I was sitting at the wrong table. Most of the dining room was available, by the way, and she was gracious enough to tell me, I didn't have to move to my specific table.... so I suppose she just couldn't help herself from telling me that I shouldn't be sitting there. Not sure what that was all about but i haven't been assigned seating in my entire adult life that I can recall, and i'm also not used to being chastised by anyone much less a business that I am patronizing. I only mention this in the hope that that particular individual might realize that being approached over such a small thing the first thing in the morning can leave a bitter taste in your mouth regardless what's being served for breakfast. It doesnt set a very nice tone for the day.

Overall great experience. Very helpful Staff especially Stephanie

Amazing residence and window views. Obligatory walk around! We had an upgrade 🥰 Beautiful interiors and the history. The 1st night was too cold and the staff made what she could to for it to be cozy - plus blankets, covers and a heater.

Breakfast a bit too plain comparing to others we had in Toscana, lack of that “something” that makes it a nice start. This stay would be a 10 if not the lady at the reception - I had an impression a bit not welcoming? When we arrived. Also didn’t believe us we don’t have blankets in our room - she needed to check personally to believe… but it may be a personality thing, not sure. Still the place has a potential to be a whole 10 in every aspect but it’s always about the people managing.

The location is incredible — like stepping into a movie! Entering the villa and seeing the garden with the palazzo in the background is breathtaking, like a Belle Époque scene, completely alone with no one else around. The palace itself is fascinating, with a slightly decayed charm, frozen in time. The main hall has spectacular painted ceilings and period decoration, and the staircase leading to the bedrooms adds to the mystique.

Upon entering our room, the initial fascination faded. The simple wooden door didn’t isolate sound, the mattress was uncomfortable with a sag in the middle, and the walls showed signs of age. The bathroom was small, without a window, and the room had very little natural light, partly blocked by the dehumidifier vent. Important: the bedrooms do not have air conditioning. The next morning, we admired the main hall, which has beautiful frescoes, but the empty space felt lifeless. The breakfast was disappointing: served in a small, dark, humid room with an industrial coffee machine and pastries that were inedible. When we requested bread, we received only tiny, hard pieces — far below any breakfast we’ve had elsewhere in Italy. The only positive was being able to eat outside. It was an interesting experience, but I wouldn’t return due to the lack of comfort.
