Aethos Saragano

Aethos Saragano, Saragano, Umbria, Italy - Explore & Book

"For utter peace and relaxation surrounded by spectacular Umbrian countryside, head this way. Saragano is a teeny, 1000-year-old medieval village set on a hilltop overlooking lush green olive groves and vineyards. It’s fabulously secluded here, yet just 40 minutes south of Perugia, the capital city of Umbria. This isn’t your usual hotel set-up. 15 oh-so-chic rooms and apartments are spread around the pretty village square, setting a tone of privacy and independence. Yet typical hotel greats – a top-rated restaurant; a photogenic pool; a tranquil spa – are on offer too. That, and a level of service that’s highly praised across the board. It’s the best of both here. Design-wise, expect a pleasing blend of old and new - think wood-beamed ceilings, sleek muted tones, terracotta floor tiles and trendy, contemporary furniture. And the far-reaching views from the Suite terraces are something special. Spend lazy days by the pool, indulge in a treatment or two, or potter down the hill to the local vineyard for some splendid wine tasting. And there are plenty of exploring opportunities within a short drive if the mood takes you. This is authentic Umbrian living with a big dose of comfort and spoiling hospitality, and we can’t wait to visit. Highs Beautifully designed, enormous suites in a gorgeous 1000-year-old cobbled hamlet setting Vast, lush countryside views from the terraces The chic pool, shaded by olive trees, with loungers aplenty from which to sip your Umbrian wine Word has it the service from friendly staff is superb The food served in the restaurant is divine - fresh, homegrown and beautifully presented Lows There is little else in the village so a car is essential to reach other nearby towns; you'll have to drive 15 minutes if you want to eat out The rooms & suites (as opposed to apartments) lack kitchens, and the hotel bar is often closed, so you're limited to your rather pricey minibar Uneven, cobbled paths and steps make things challenging for those with limited mobility Church bells chime early, so if you like a lie-in, pack earplugs!" - Handpicked by our hotel experts
