I stayed here with a group in May. The corner room was comfortable, clean, with lovely views out to the hills and vineyards. Good shower, quiet location, nice large windows that open without screens. ||The included breakfast buffet was pretty ordinary, not particularly inspired and the quality of espresso depended entirely on which staff member was making it! The buffet needed more non-sweet options and a way to toast/heat bread and pastries. Some breakfast meats would have been nice. They do have a breakfast menu, but the prices were high. ||The breakfast room is small and dark, but when I asked to eat outside on the patio, there was absolutely no assistance or interest in helping me carry plate, coffee, and cutlery past the kitchen, up and down several sets of stairs, through multiple doors, outside and then bring dirty dishes back. Too bad, it was lovely eating breakfast outside on a fresh Romagnan spring morning and I think more visitors would really enjoy that if the staff offered more encouragement and assistance.||There is no comfortable downstairs meeting/assembly area, and the lobby is cramped, without chairs. When it is raining or in the evening, there is really no place for a group to assemble. This would be fine for most travelers, but not ideal when a group books multiple rooms at the hotel.||I did not eat a meal in the restaurant, but the snacks for aperitivo were typical, ok. Friday night had live music in the outdoor pavilion, a large number of local partiers and rather ear-splitingly loud music making it rather impossible to carry on conversation. ||I did not use or even look at the spa, it was a substantial additional charge, and the outdoor pool needed a good cleaning. ||This villa is also NOT centrally located. It is on top of a steep hill, and then several miles on a busy road into Cesena. There is no place to walk from the villa, no hiking trails, and no restaurants, bars, shops or anything else within walking distance. It would have been more fun to be more centrally located for evening entertainment, shopping, and morning walks. If you are traveling without your own transportation, be aware that there really is nothing else to do at this location and a taxi into Cesena is about 25 Euros. ||One caution - do NOT ask the staff to do a load of laundry for you! I was only mid-way through my trip and my hand wash was not drying in the room, so I asked for them to do a very small load, for which they charged 136 Euro! Seemed rather excessive, laundry charges were not posted, and the cost once added to my bill was something they were interested in negotiating.
