I was dismayed to read the Sept posting, as we'd booked and had no option but to continue. I expected the worst and found the exact opposite. The gardens are well looked after in the "Umbrian" manner. The problem with finding the door is being solved..a gate was being fixed during our 5 night stay. It is a beautiful, tranquil... more

Did we stay at the same estate as the previous poster?? We were able to find the front door with no problem; there were no mops and brooms or bikes in sight. Our first impression (after the 1 km dirt road drive) was that the landscaping surrounding this home was gorgeous with blooming flowers in pots, fruit and olive trees... more

I had high expectations. The website makes the hotel look really special. It’s not. My heart sank as we went up the drive (the gravel road mentioned in a previous post was fine and for most hotels in Umbria and Tuscany this is quite normal) First impressions were wow, this could have been stunning. Unfortunately the weeds and general neglect... more

Views are unbelievable - the restored building is the best hotel that we stayed at on our trip. more

Having booked our room at the Tenuta di Canonica over six months in advance, I was amazed that Giovanna the host, remembered we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Later that evening there was a chilled bottle of champagne in our room with a lovely note. We felt so special. The castle is filled with beautiful antiques and lovely paintings.... more

I stayed in the Junior Suite for 5 days in July 2005 with a couple of friends. The location and the restoration of this building were just spectacular. You approach the property on a gravel road - yes there are a few bumps, as in any gravel road, but certainly nothing of real concern. Once there, you will be overwhelmed... more

We stayed 4 nights here at the end of our honeymoon and had a fantastic stay. The property is amazing and our room was one of the best we have ever seen. The kind of room you can spend time relaxing and reading (if it is cloudy that is!). The panoramic views are incredible, the set menu is first class... more

We stayed here two weeks ago at the end of our 10 day trip to Italy. After reading some positive reviews, I was excited to stay at this place. I must admit, it was not only very remote (down a gravel road the owners cannot be bothered to maintain in any fashion what so ever-make sure you rent a 4... more

The Tenuta di Canonica was absolutely beautiful. Only stayed 1 night but wished we had stayed more. The rooms, property and house were just magnificant. The view was so nice. Only about 15 minutes to Todi which was a lovely small town. The owners were very gracious and the dinner was one of the best we had in Italy. It... more
