Reviews for Park Hotel Villa Potenziani

Review 1：Gardens need a little attention,could look gorgeous if only weeded!

Review 2：This Palace now Hotel is beautiful,spacious and interesting.Fine Dining with attention to detail.Quality is what you get!!

Review 3：Restaurant closed from sept 3rd onwards. Swimcap mandatory for swimming. No WiFi at pool.

Review 4：Location and room was great. The restaurant was excellent

Review 5：If we could have changed one thing it would be the pillows, but then that was the same issue in every hotel we stayed in during our vacation and that amounted to 4 hotels from Rome to Perugia

Review 6：The location and facilities were excellent, the staff friendly and helpful.

Review 7：Entrance is difficult to find as it is right on a main road crossroads

Review 8：Amazing architecture both inside and out, very friendly staff, good facilities, superb location overlooking Rieti

Review 9：Wonderful location, historic building with original period features. Also has modern features as a large swimming pool. Excellent evening meal at very reasonable prices. Staff and owner could not be more accommodating, will be back for a longer stay.

Review 10：The rooms are magnificent with elegant classic furnishings. The staff is couteous and very professional. I haven't had wait service of this quality for 30 years; quiet efficient and unobtrusive. Meals were excellent and beautifully served.

Review 11：Atmosphere, quiet, grounds, furnishings, restaurant and its menu, helpful staff, and value for this stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. We were touring in the morning and relaxing in the afternoon at this property.

Review 12：- Bed mat not so comfortable - Not at walking distance from the city. - Breakfast is just right. May be because of the excellent level of the restaurant we expect the same level for breakfast.

Review 13：Ancient Mansion of Potenziani Prince now transformed in a Hotel. The hotel conserved as much as possible the romantic ambience of the past. Located in a huge property park on a hill at 2 km of Rieti center, Villa Potenzani is the perfect place to relax completely surrounded by nature. Fitness room, in a separate building is well equipped with professional machines. During summer you can enjoy Tennis and Swimming Pool. Embedded Restaurant is excellent and not overpriced. Highly recommended. I would suggest this Hotel especially to couples searching for a romantic, "like-in-the-past" place.

Review 14：Outside visitors (locals) at the pool during the school break make it sometimes too noisy to enjoy the wonderful and quite setting. The garden and tennis court are in need of some extra maintenance, but in a strange way that also adds to the charm...

Review 15：Great place to stay with elegant, spacious rooms (junior suite) to discover the beautiful region of Rieti. Kind and welcoming owners and very friendly and helpful staff, especially the excellent Miss Roberta, the front desk manager. The waiter running the breakfast room was also quite forthcoming, even when arriving five minutes before the end of the breakfast buffet, with the morning paper available to accompany your tasteful cappuccino on the terrace...

Review 16：The path to the pool could use some work. There where bees near the pool. Not Ideal for walking into town.

Review 17：The hotel was very nice still felt old but had the convenience of modern utilities. The bed was quite good. The room was very comfortable. It is a beautiful location. Breakfast on roof was also very scenic.

Review 18：The turn is confusing but slow down & prepare a hairpin turn against the traffic. And once you know where & how, it's easy. The hotel is worth this initial road hiccup.

Review 19：Wonderful old world building & grounds with a spacious feel. Felt like throwing on a ballgown and running through the beautiful rooms & huge formal gardens to the fabulous pool. The historical aspect was balanced with modern features like air conditioning, wifi, showers & refrigerator. It was perfect: the staff lovely: the location restful.

Review 20：The stately home feel of the place with high ornate ceilings etc and the lovely location.

Review 21：Fantastic restaurant, really nice people

Review 22：Staff and ambience was magnifico - complimenti al chef who made special effort for a gluten-free option on the ferragosto buffet

Review 23：Difficult to find

Review 24：The old hunting lodge/summer home was fantastic

Review 25：Everything was perfect!!!!! Nice staff, great breakfast, peaceful, great pool and near the center of town. We will return !

Review 26：Great location. Friendly staff. Good value for money

Review 27：Property's garden should be better taken care of

Review 28：Fantastic Location Very friendly staff Super breakfast

Review 29：Poor WIFI

Review 30：Wonderful atmosphere Friendly staff Great pool area Excellent restaurant

Review 31：no imformation book in room, but staff explain eveything kindly

Review 32：beautiful old building, esecially dining room

Review 33：The property itself and the location.

Review 34：The distance to downtown quite far, especially to walk in the dark.

Review 35：Stylish interior

Review 36：It was end of season so we were the only people there. In summer it is probably a much better vibe.

Review 37：The hotel was not taken card for a while.

Review 38：Good location Very authentic.

Review 39：WiFi a bit slow

Review 40：Great service from all staff. Great food at the restaurant. I'll come again both on business & pleasure.

Review 41：Helpful and friendly staff, beautiful castle with park and swimming pool. Very nice and peaceful surroundings. Comfortable and spacious rooms.

Review 42：We stayed for two separate nights, a week apart. The first night it was over 26C all night in our room and the air-conditioning was not working. The second stay, wifi was only working in a lounge (and it took us quite a time to discover this), not our room as it should have been. Unfortunately a wedding in the courtyard just below our window kept one of us awake until well after 1 o'clock. Because of the wedding the restaurant was closed to other guests and we had not been told this in advance of our second stay. After much arm-twisting we managed to get them to provide a snack meal which we much appreciated but it was all a bit of a palaver. Not really 4-star in these respects. My ratings were influenced downwards by the lack of air-con the first night, the lack of room wifi and the fact that the restaurant was closed the second night. Had this not been the case the ratings we gave would have been Good (or even Excellent) all round.

Review 43：We stayed for two separate nights, a week apart. We liked the snack meals we had on both nights, the spaciousness of the rooms (we had a Jr Suite the second stay) and the site in general which is set in woods well away from the hustle & bustle of Rieti. The Villa is impressively 'grand' both inside and out.

Review 44：The maintenance of the grounds needed attention. The airconditioning did not work the first 2 nights.

Review 45：Lovely setting and beautiful building. The restaurant served excellent food.

Review 46：A bit out of the city centre. You must drive in.

Review 47：Beautiful hotel. Gorgeous location. The hotel staff were exceedingly helpful in every way possible. Gilliola (?) made reservations for us, suggested restaurants, sights, and printed maps for us.

Review 48：A bit difficult to find the turn, even with the Garmin.

Review 49：Beautiful building with friendly staff. Restaurant only open for dinner so we went into town for lunch but the dinner was good. Breakfast was the standard fare but in a room on the top floor with beautiful views. The villa and grounds are a work in progress and well worth the effort. Large comfortable room & bath and the view from the room were lovely.

Review 50：We received the warmest of welcomes. the villa itself is a beautiful historic building with marvelous views. Our room was enormous with a very comfortable bed. We had a meal in the beautiful restaurant. We were the only two customers on this particular night, the food and service were second to none.We had a lovely breakfast, carefully tended to by attentive staff all for 151 euro including a two course meal, wine, beer and water at the table. A great find, we will revisit.

Review 51：nog a real bummer but just an advise for the hotel management. it would be nice if one could drink an aperitif on the terrace overlooking te garden (eg between 18.00 and 20.00)

Review 52：beatyfull location nice pool, enough reclining chairs simple but delicious lunch possible on pool terrace dinner is excelent fine starting point to explore eg Rome of some nice Umbrian cities friendly staff free wifi

Review 53：All the way through a good atmosphere, good placing and fine value for money.

Review 54：Villa Potenziani was recommended to us by good friends rather many years ago and we have stayed there, when in Rieti, ever since.

Review 55：Ironing service - my white shirt was burned on the back, and it was theonly one I had brought with me for a ceremony I was invited to. It canhappen, obviously, but I was obliged to spend the whole day with my suitjacket on - which, with 35°c, can't be defined a nice experience...

Review 56：Everything but the ironing service.

Review 57：No snack /bar facilities within the hotel during the day - a pity not to be able to make full use of the rear verandha seating overloking the gardens.

Review 58：Excellent for comfort and location. Fantastically restored old villa. Beuatiful roof-top setting for dinner - food and service first class at very reasonable prices.

Review 59：The restaurant was closed when we were there because of a wedding reception, but they gave us excellent recommendations for places to dine in Rieti.

Review 60：It is a beautiful property with old world charm. We did not feel like we were staying in a hotel, but rather in a grandiose villa. We hope we will have a return visit some day.

Review 61：We chose this hotel in particular because of it being an old palace, according to some comments (which did not correspond to the truth), beautifully restored. We were very disappointed to find out that only a fiew rooms, such as the restaurant (overpriced), kept the palace atmosfere, and the rest of the building's interior was completely normal. The breakfast was the worst I had in 4 star hotels, contrary to the comments (no warm food). The palace grounds were not looked after. I would classify it as a 3 star hotel.

Review 62：The kindness of the staff, the beautifull view from our room.

Review 63：Everything which we met in the location

Review 64：Big park.

Review 65：Difficult to find road leading to hotel

Review 66：The views are gorgeous

Review 67：Atmosphere, Surroundings,

Review 68：Nice garden and surrounding park but poor maintenance of both.

Review 69：WiFi not always good from your room

Review 70：I liked every thing

Review 71：Internet poor, not working during the last 2 days after a thunderstorm.

Review 72：Fantastic location, nice breakfeast, nice restaurant, helpfull people.

Review 73：Quiet, understated charm. French doors onto the main terrace from our room. Roof top terrace for breakfast and dinner.

Review 74：A great place. Friendly staff, great location, very quiet.

Review 75：One of the best hotels I ever visited with a nice pool and nice rooms and very friendly staff.
