Hotel & Spa l'Antico Forziere

We were in the area for a wedding in Todi, so we stopped in Deruta for one night. Samuel, who runs the place along with his wife, is the nicest, most accomadating person. First he carried our luggage up stairs for us, since there is no lift. Then we wanted to go into town to see the ceramics. There is no local taxi, they would have to come from Perugia. So Samuel drove us and picked us up. The hotel has beautiful views and a lovely pool area. Beautiful plants are all around. We had a fabulous dinner, which will be reviewed under separate cover.

Our last visit was in 2018 and when we were leaving they told us we should stay the next time. Roll on to 2024, our first time back in Italy since 2018 and we decided to book a meal and stay overnight. We had another delicious meal again, wonderful flavours, beautifully presented and served and we really enjoyed it. And it was great to just have to climb the stairs to go back to our room. Breakfast was also a feast, great selection of freshly baked goods, juices, fruit, cereals and offer of cooked breakfast also which we declined as we only wanted light breakfast. It was great to be back as one of most favourite restaurants again and we will be back next year again. Thank you so much.

We stayed at this lovely hotel for the first time approximately 14 years ago and have been back several times since. This is a wonderful and friendly family run property with nice spacious rooms, a great swimming pool area, nice area for indoor and outdoor relaxation and the hotel has recently added a very nice spa. The hotel is ideally and centrally located to explore wonderful Umbria. Least let's not forget, the hotel has one of the very finest gourmet restaurants in the region. We can't wait to come back again!

Serene and Relaxing, not to be missed. We've been coming here for 18 years and recent renovations of a large atrium gathering/ cocktails/ tea room have made this place even better. Any time, we are going to be in Italy in the Umbria area we stay here and plan our excursions to Deruta, Assisi, Montefalco, Spello, Spoleto, etc from this base camp. The rooms are large and the bed is very comfortable, sheets are lovely. The views of the Umbrian hills and local church towers create an instant sense of calm and relaxation. The upgraded bathrooms are also large. The owners, the Rodella family, welcome guests, with a sincere happiness of spirit and no request is too difficult. We were served cocktails and munchies every night in the Atrium, with a fireplace and gorgeous views of the sunset. It was a perfect setting. Nothing in Umbria compares to the Acclaimed chefs, the Rodella twin brothers, who create masterpieces for meals that make every bite a sensation of flavors. Once again, we were overjoyed to try new meals and be blown away by the taste. Don’t skimp on desert, a beauty to behold, and to taste. The only drawback to eating here is I dream of it every night and other restaurants back home just don’t compare. Five stars, a must for any itinerary wanting to eat an incredible meal in an unpretentious atmosphere.

Io e il mio fidanzato abbiamo scelto questo Country house per trascorrere un weekend di relax. Struttura immersa nel verde, lontano dal caos cittadino, camera piccola, ma molto accogliente e ben arredata, bagno nuovissimo e fornito di tutto il necessario. Abbiamo usufruito della SPA privata, piccola ma completa, dove abbiamo trascorso 1 ora e mezza di pace accompagnata da un aperitivo a bordo piscina! La cena presso il ristorante dell’hotel è risultata superlativa, ben oltre le nostre aspettative, dall’aperitivo di benvenuto all’assaggio del dolce, al grand dessert finale: fantastico!!! Pensiamo di ritornare🤩

Se cercate una cucina ricercata, un ambiente elegante, un servizio impeccabile il ristorante che fa per voi è L’Antico Forziere!! Samuele e Roberta vi accoglieranno con professionalità e cortesia illustrandovi i magnifici piatti dei fratelli Rodella!!
