Large modern rooms, with a large bathroom. downside for me was that the shower is located within the bathtub. rooms have air-conditioning (bit noisy) reception and restaurant (incl rooms are spread over two adjacent buildings) The restaurant and panorama terrace offer a magnificent view over Assisi and Perugia. The hotel restaurant is 1 of 2 in Bettona ( and in my view the best one) breakfast buffet is sufficiently assorted (especially for Italian standards) Wi-fi is was rather slow

“Unusual historic hotel, stunning views”

Bettona is a beautiful medieval “city”, population around 300! The hotel is very old, and in 2 buildings.

Bettona is a beautiful medieval “city”, population around 300! The hotel is very old, and in 2 buildings. We stayed on the ground floor in the far building, by the restaurant and swimming pool, with the Hallway opening onto a sun terrace with amazing views over the countryside - you can see Assisi and Perugia in the distance. The other building houses the reception/lounge/bar with rooms upstairs and a small gym. The staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful, and we had a really lovely stay. Bettona is about 20 minutes from the airport, and if you want to hire a car, the nearest place is at the airport. Bettona has very little in the way of facilities - virtually no transport, no shop, one cafe and a couple of restaurants that were open occasionally. Luckily the hotel has the wonderful Franco who can take you out on tours, and we went to Assisi and to Lake Trasimeno with him, both must do trips while you’re here. We were on half board, with the choice of 3 out of 4 courses each night, always a pasta, but you could swap with a course from the main menu if you didn’t like anything. Food was good, especially the puddings, and the cookery lesson and wine tasting were great fun - thank you Amelia, Sophie and All the staff. My sisters and I had a wonderful holiday, absolutely loved this part of Umbria, and would recommend the hotel, as long as you’re happy to be out in the country away from the bustle. Thank you Relais La Corte for making us so welcome. 🙏

We stayed for 3 nights whilst visiting Umbria. Our room was lovely with a beautiful view over the valley towards Assisi. It was very spacious with really comfortable beds, it also had a small fridge. The bathroom was huge, but I found the shower cabinet a little small. The guests in the room next door to us were inconsiderate, letting their bedroom door slam so hard our bed shook! This is obviously not the fault of the hotel but was annoying. Parking was difficult as all the spaces outside the hotel were taken and most of the spaces in the village square were occupied. We parked outside the hotel once, outside the village wall once and in the village square near the fountain once. This is something to bear in mind. The hotel rooms are in a separate building from the reception area and this could be difficult for less mobile guests. Unfortunately the WiFi was absolutely useless and I didn't manage to connect to it the whole time we were staying, as I understand it this is an ongoing problem. Breakfast was very poor and disorganised, with rolls that tasted stale on the first morning of our stay.On the second and third mornings the hot option of scrambled egg and bacon ran out and was not replenished despite our asking several times, coffee was awful and tasted like instant. I noticed a lot of people ordered coffee from the waitress, presumably at extra cost. Cold choices were one type of ham, salami, one type of cheese, plus croissants and pappy sliced bread for toasting. The plums in the fruit bowl were rock hard and inedible. I did mention the poor breakfast experience to the receptionist during our stay and thought it was unacceptable for a hotel of this class. On checking out I found I had been charged for the bottles of water in the fridge, I was surprised by this as the information on booking.com stated "water in room" so had assumed this was complimentary. I have stayed in a lot of much cheaper B&Bs that have provided bottled water free of charge. 2 euros for a 500ml bottle of water is also very expensive. This is not to say I wouldn't recommend the hotel as we enjoyed our stay and the room was excellent.
