Tenuta Di Canonica

This hotel is simply the best in all ways: the staff, the property, the building and the food. Staying here was the only “relaxing” part of our 2 weeks in Italy. We were sorry to leave early in the morning and not say a proper goodbye to anyone, especially the lovely owner and managers. Sadly I did not get anyone’s name. We received a complimentary bottle of Prosecco for our 25th anniversary. We had dinner here 2 of 3 nights. Delicious food from a fixed tasting menu which changes daily. Very reasonably priced. Michelin rated. Breakfast was included. A selection of pastries as well as your choice of fruit salad, yogurt and meat/cheese. We were even given breakfast before the normal breakfast time bc we had to leave early to catch our train. Our room was spacious and had a ceiling fan!! My husband found the bed a little hard, could use a pillow topper perhaps. The building is rustic and medieval and just beautiful. I would love to spend a stormy night curled up in one of the sitting rooms. One reviewer said it was too dark, but we felt it was perfect. The grounds are beautiful with a pool and vegetable garden. Many great places to take pictures. This hotel is on the outskirts of Todi, which was a blessing bc Todi is difficult to access by car. We loved our stay.

What an incredible place! At the end of a long winding road along a ridge stands one of the most interesting and beautiful hotels in which you will ever stay. The hotel has roots that go back hundreds of years, and that sense of history is everywhere. Yet the hotel is also modern where it matters, and wonderfully clean and comfortable. The interior decorating is gorgeous, and the hotel abounds with beautiful patios including a huge pool, all with amazing views. The other thing that stands out is the FOOD! We ate dinner at the hotel every night, and the chef created a 7-course dinner that was unique and delicious every night. Overall, the best food we ate in our 16 days in Italy. Lastly, we found the staff to be very friendly and gracious, including Elena, Alesandra, Laura, and Sophia. HIGHLY recommended.

This place is absolutely incredible. The pictures here are beautiful but in person, its EVEN BETTER!! It's so peaceful and relaxing. And the staff is amazing. Everyone is so thoughtful and helpful and goes out of your way to make you happy. The food is delicious. The pool is beautiful. It felt like a dream waking up here every day. Also the surrounding areas are gorgeous - Todi, Assisi, Orvieto, Spoleto and just driving around the sunflowers fields. (We've traveled the world and this is one of my favorite spots ever!!)

What a joy to find this gem! The villa and grounds are stunning with sweeping views and understated elegance. A truly wonderful experience in every way! The accommodations top notch, the food delicious and creative, the staff incredibly helpful and welcoming. We will be back! A very good location from which to visit other towns in Umbria but return to the peace, quiet and beauty of a charming relais.

Stayed at Tenuta di Canonica for 3 nights and it was spectacular. The staff were incredible and went above and beyond to help us, from finding taxis to last-minute dining. Location is stunning and rooms were spotless. Would return in a heartbeat!

My wife and I were booked for two nights at Tenuta di Canonica. The hotel is a splendid combination of comfort, history and the exquisite personal taste of the owners. One has the sense of being in a the country home of Italian aristocracy. The grounds are equally splendid and allow for fine walks, relaxation and gazing into the Umbrian landscape. When we arrived my wife wasn't feeling well and asked for a very simple dinner that was magically provided. The next morning she wasn't feeling much better and Maria and staff were concerned and suggested they ask their doctor to come by. Thank goodness for their concern and for the wisdom of the doctor. Subsequently they provided superb care, they drove into Todi to get the prescription and the kitchen was able to cook the simple broth requested by the doctor. We stayed an extra day and that provided time for my wife to continue recovery while we both enjoyed the tranquility of the hotel and grounds. The rich interiors, full of art, inviting and comfortable furniture, tons of books (almost all in Italian but many full of great photographs) made the stay a pleasure. Meals on the patio overlooking olive groves and distant hills was an added bonus. I can't say enough about the true kindness of the staff, the beauty of the setting and the connection to history of Italy (with some part of the building going back to Roman times). We look forward to a return when health problems don't get in the way and we can thoroughly enjoy all that this magical and special place office..
