VesConte Residenza d'Epoca Dal 1533

This property is gorgeous, my husband and I loved walking around and looking at all the art. It’s 500 years old which is x3 the age of our origin country so it blew our minds. Breakfast was classically Italian and delicious.

The building is historical, with nice original features. Many nice reception rooms, private dining rooms ... When you see it from the street, there is no "hotel" sign, so you could drive or walk past it ... Most rooms are two flights up (high ceilings, long flights ...), no elevator and the carpet on the stairs is worn out. The breakfast room is dark, and the breakfast offering was very average. The team at breakfast was nice. We were six couples of friends on an alumni reunion, booked for two nights. One couple checked out after one night - their room was cold (end of September, highs around 27 Celsius during the day ...) and they hardly got any sleep. Their door did not lock properly. Another couple was also cold and slept with their coats on. We were in the Stendhal room - small, dark, with a very outdated bathroom. Temperature for us was ok. The beds are not great and need to be updated. The room next door on the side toward the plazza seemed a bit bigger than ours with more light. We would not recommend the Stendhal room. Coming back to the room after dinner was a bit "eery" with only one dim light in the big hall towards the room. Everyone in the group complained about the showers. Our shower head didn't fit into the "holder", so you had to hold it up by hand. The owners should invest - in the comfort of new beds, good locks, modern plumbing, a new carpet on the stairs ...

Built in 1533 I was impressed by the level of modern amenities such as air con (but the concrete walls kept it cool enough when it was over 30 degrees I didn’t need to turn it on). The wine tasting downstairs was excellent. Three local wines and nibbles for €16. Breakfast was a good selection of food. The coffee could improve. When people above flushed their toilet it sounded like mine flushed too which scared me numerous times. A free tour would be very welcome rather than having to pay when already a guest of the hotel and I was disappointed I could not drop my luggage off before check in. This is on the Camino route so the last thing Pilgrims want when they’ve just walked 22kms in the heat, is to keep carrying their bag until 2pm. A supermarket is very close so buy some water and snacks there.

Outstanding 19th-century guest rooms!

Unfortunately breakfast only starts 8:30, which was to late for us (had to leave at 8:00 already). Everything else was perfect for us for a night in transit.

STUNNING HOTEL ! I was there for the Transitalia Marathon motorcycle event, I will go back, one bar in the lobby ! 600 year old building, Incredible !!!

At the risk of sounding trite, we live in uncertain times. The immediate past – the years before COVID – have acquired a preternatural patina of history, and history itself (and by that I mean the History of Grandest Memory) seems alternately forgotten or imbued with the spirit of the epic. And indeed, it is the adjectives grand, epic, oniric and magical that come to mind when describing VesConte – Palazzo Cozza Caposavi. The palace is a treasure throve for lovers of high culture. Art and literary history, as well as the historical prominence of the noble family that owns and runs it, can be found in every corner. It is a place of refuge for those who adore beauty in all its manifestations. The experience of walking up to the palace, encountering the most enchanting of welcomes, the magnificent and opulent rooms, and the thorough sense of comfort is nonpareil. One feels not just as a valued customer, but as a friend. One leaves the stifling sense of the real behind and is free to wallow in the luxury of greatness.
