Aethos Saragano

We stayed at Aethos Saragano a week in the lead up to our wedding in Umbria. The entire setting for the hotel is magical, the views are absolutely stunning and the terrace area for dinner, over looking the rolling hills at sun set was just an absolute dream! Communication from the reception was great- they whatsapped us ahead of arrival to check what time we would arrive and gave us plenty of information regarding parking and the restaurant and pool accessibility. We can’t fault the service in any way. The restaurant staff and the house keeping staff were just wonderfully friendly and helpful. We loved that the restaurant had set times for lunch and dinner, it was nice to have this routine during our week stay here and the food was faultless… one of the most incredible meals we have ever experienced was when we ate here for dinner on our first night. The pool area is lovely and relaxing. Yes, a lot of mosquitos but that can’t be helped, just be prepared! The pool was a great way to cool off and relax. We often felt like we had it to ourselves which was lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing break from the hectic reality of life… just come here and switch off. It will be worth it!

Just arrived home from a four-night stay at Saragano. Fantastic team led by Paul ensured we had a brilliant stay. Views over the valley and hills are incredible. Food in Ceci is excellent. Will be recommending to family and friends. Thanks all!

The hotel is situated amongst a really sweet, small Italian village. Our room was lovely - modern and clean with amazing views and the breakfast we had was also great. We were however a bit disappointed to find out that the restaurant was closed on Mondays (and there is nowhere else in walking distance) which we thought should have been made more clear upon booking. The staff were however very helpful in saving us some food from their lunchtime service. The only other thing we were disappointed with was the pool - despite it's lovely setting it was full of locals (a family of around 15 people) which coupled with the overwhelming amount of mosquitos, made it less relaxing than we had hoped. I would go back but think there could be some improvements or better communication.

Tucked in between the beautiful Umbrian hillside towns of Todi and Spello & Assisi, with buccolic countryside drives throughout, Aethos Saragano was another Must agriturismo boutique stay we would choose again. Unique with its tiny stone village-like setting, terrific onsite restaurant (Ceci) and many wonderful areas perched on high (for dinner, breakfast or cocktails) to take in idyllic valley views. Made good use of the beautiful pool situated a charming path walk at the base of the property. They offered pesto-making course didnt take advantage of.

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.
