“A hilltop hotel full of character with magnificent views over vineyards, woodland and olive groves. Charming bedrooms in bold colours with private terraces. Delightful library and bar area and a sparkling swimming pool. A rustic treat in peaceful surroundings.”

Hotel review

La Locanda oozes countryside charm with its stable yard bedroom conversions and delightful decoration. 6 bedrooms and 1 suite have white washed rafters, lovely fabrics, fireplaces and private terraces. The library and bar area has a large collection of books, stylish sofas and playful nick nacks. The views from the swimming pool and terraces over the valley below are spectacular. A fabulous country retreat that really makes you feel at home.
