Borgo San Lorenzo a Linari

We have long experience of Linari over the past 30 years, but this was our first experience under the new ownership. The building and setting is as delightful as ever, even though the gardens are rather less well maintained than they used to be. The apartment was not well equipped for a self-catering venue with our apartment for 8 people having just a few table knives and teaspoons, but neither forks nor spoons. We had to resort to liberating some from another apartment. The anti-mosquito nets on the windows were useless in most apartments with large tears and apparently no maintenance. It is helpful having a restaurant (La Posteria) on site, with a good wine list and dishes. But after a great meal on day 1, it was extremely disappointing to discover on day 5 that the meal was absolutely awful with very slow service and the same dishes (previously great) being virtually inedible. The manager claimed it was the same chef (his wife) but along with untruths about dessert availability, and a different account from the overall manager about an experienced professional chef, the contracted catering in La Posteria is therefore at best unreliable. That meal on our last night did negatively impact our overall experience.

Nous avons adoré le cadre de cet ancien monastère, la gentillesse des hôtes et le confort des logements ( de la literie, aux sanitaires tout était « Wahou » ! ) félicitations à vous d’avoir fait de ce lieu ce magnifique havre de paix, nous reviendrons, à bientôt !
