Luigi and Rita were the perfect hosts. They even picked my wife and I up at the train station and returned us the next day. I have recommended them to friends who are interested in traveling to Italy.

I stayed at this hotel for one night in July of 2012 and was for the most part pleased with my stay. The location (why I chose it) is very good, just a short walk from the temples. the grounds are beautiful with a very nice pool area, staff seemed nice enough in my limited interactions with them. I stayed... More

After a two year absence it was so good to visit Villa Rita again and see that the standards were as good as ever; indeed better. All the attention to detail from the Pisani family really makes such a huge difference. Comfort and culture with "cucina classica" Campagna style at its very best. For location, service, food and comfort ,Villa... More

As ever, a lovely stay: friendly staff, delicious food and wonderful surroundings! Can't wait to go back: snowy Scotland seemed a long way away. I have visited this hotel several times over the years to visit the temples and the surrounding area, and the Hotel Villa Rita is always welcoming and relaxing. Thank you once again to Luigi, Rita and... More

We actually had a choice between staying in the main hotel or choosing a detached bungalow. The first thing I tried was the mattress; it was comfortable. The meals... More

Stayed here mid-October 2012 primarily based on reviews saying it was close to the temples and Luigi, the owner and his staff, were wonderful. Boy were they correct! Luigi is wonderful. He was friendly, respectful, kind and took time to help us plan the rest of our trip. His remaining staff, including his daughter, were also helpful and kind. Even... More
