Aethos Saragano

My husband Tom and I had the most incredible stay at Aethos Saragano. Paul and the team were so welcoming and worked really hard to ensure we had an authentic, thoughtful and fun-filled stay. We were particularly impressed by the beautiful day spa and the wonderful restaurant food. The pasta making class with the head chef, Delfina, was another highlight and one of the best travel experiences we've ever had.

I hope my feedback helps not only travellers but above all the Aethos team for everything in the future. I may be very critical, but I work in the luxury industry myself, travel a lot and attach great importance to perfect service, especially on holiday. The property is fantastic. It has a wonderful location with absolute tranquillity. It is important to know that locals also live in the village. On the Aethos site, it appears that the entire complex concerns the hotel. This is not the case. Only a small part belongs to Aethos. The reception didn't seem very professional. There was no one there to take our suitcases, the briefing was rather casual and had no professional touch. A word from the hotel management would have been nice - if they even exist? We were given room number 9. The furnishings at Aethos are very tasteful. Big praise to the interior designers. It would have been great to see more of it in room 9. We didn’t feel the Aethos vibe in this room. To everyone - I can't really recommend this room. The layout in the room is a bit difficult as there is no space for clothes and suitcases. There is no balcony or terrace and it has no view. So avoid no. 9! It is the less attractive one comparing what you see on the website. Aethos in Seragano basically only lives from its restaurant. Everything else is rather neglected. The complex is getting on in years. You can see this especially when you look at the details. The reception looks unkempt, not tidy and the items for sale there are also carelessly curated. The outdoor area next to the restaurant is very carelessly designed. Tables are placed randomly on the terrace, no flowers on the tables, no bar, no drinks service and above all no staff to make your stay pleasant. You have to look for someone for every drink. If you are lucky the restaurant is open. Maybe we were unlucky and most of the staff was in sick leave? The restaurant is very good. The staff are more than friendly, even if they seem overwhelmed by the small number of tables and make this clear. (Should be avoided) The food is of course excellent, but the portions are unfortunately too small for the price, so you have to order more bread (extra cost) to fill up. Would be nice if there were normal portions. It is interesting that the staff in the restaurant wear a very tasteful uniform. Unfortunately, the rest of the staff do not. Again, please don't misunderstand, but the promise that Aethos makes on its website is a different one. A certain luxury requires a certain elitism, unfortunately there is no other way nowadays. The path to the pool is unkempt. The pool house is dirty, the furniture in it is broken, the gym equipment is dirty and pushed into the corner. More like a storeroom. The toilet facilities are extremely unkempt. The showers in particular are not in good condition. You would like the same standard here as in your room with the same products and above all fresh towels. The same applies to the outside s

Tucked in between the beautiful Umbrian hillside towns of Todi and Spello & Assisi, with buccolic countryside drives throughout, Aethos Saragano was another Must agriturismo boutique stay we would choose again. Unique with its tiny stone village-like setting, terrific onsite restaurant (Ceci) and many wonderful areas perched on high (for dinner, breakfast or cocktails) to take in idyllic valley views. Made good use of the beautiful pool situated a charming path walk at the base of the property. They offered pesto-making course didnt take advantage of.

I went with a group of friends and what a magical and amazing place! They have a wide choice of activities that we were all able to do together , like cooking classes, foraging, arching, and wine tasting. A super friendly staff that makes you feel like home. The rooms have beautiful views 💛🧡. A truly tranquil peaceful place that I will definitely visit again.

Where to start… my husband and I stayed at Saragano Aethos for two nights. Since arrival were were greeted by a warm welcome from Paul. He took the time to talk to us and explain in detail everything about the resort. He is fantastic in every way, the heart and soul of Aethos Saragano. He and Delfina made us feel at home and Delfina is an amazing cook. Food at the Ceci restaurant was always perfect and delicious . We loved our stay, the views, the food but mostly Paul and Delfina. Amazing views and charming set up.

The hotel is situated amongst a really sweet, small Italian village. Our room was lovely - modern and clean with amazing views and the breakfast we had was also great. We were however a bit disappointed to find out that the restaurant was closed on Mondays (and there is nowhere else in walking distance) which we thought should have been made more clear upon booking. The staff were however very helpful in saving us some food from their lunchtime service. The only other thing we were disappointed with was the pool - despite it's lovely setting it was full of locals (a family of around 15 people) which coupled with the overwhelming amount of mosquitos, made it less relaxing than we had hoped. I would go back but think there could be some improvements or better communication.
