Castello Izzalini Todi Resort

Wonderful experience. Rep was helpful, easy to communicate. Relaxing. There are no air conditioning but the rep lend us the fan, and it was ok and has a nice breeze.

Only met Gianna briefly but she seemed very kind. The apartment was very clean and well organized. I was especially pleased with an adjustable thermostat to control the heat. Traveling in winter I find myself forced to open windows to cool the room, but this was very easy and reliable. Windows had wonderful views and interior shutters to darken the room completely - not even the annoying smoke detector light - best sleep ever! Thick soundproof walls. Bed was 10/10. Self service apartment with a list of chores. Check in between 4-7 pm. Couple spent a week with RCI and paid $117 tax and “resort” fees. Lots of cute towns to visit in 1-2 hours we mostly went to Todi on quiet 15 minute drive. I don’t know what you’d do without a car - no spa or workout room or anything.

Our apartment was cozy and nice. Well ventilated for the early summer heat and our host, Gianna, was quite nice helping us move in for the week. It has all you need to support yourself and family for the week. Lots of room to move around and get outdoors.

Stiflingly hot, no air conditioning, smell of rot, inflexible hotel worker, zero amenities, internet supposedly available in a ‘common room’ not at all in your own and rude local restaurant staff. Left after the second day and purchased alternative lodging. If you want a small room clean it costs $50.00 per cleaning…..3 towels for a family of 6 provided. No toilet paper provided over 7x days (we came back for final check out as no refund was possible). FALSE advertising. Avoid at all costs.

Too warm! No air conditioning, no screens on windows and no fans in room. Could have left windows open to cool room but the bugs ate us alive. Must have a car. It's conviently located in the middle of the Umbria region. A one hour drive to Orvieto or Assissi two great towns to visit.

Other reviews mention that a car is necessary when staying at this "resort". That is very good advice - you must have a car. Castello Izzalini is not a resort, there are no resort features, and you will be charged 50 euro per person in the room as a resort fee! Anything you will want to do will require you to drive. Be prepared that the driving time will be much longer than you expect for the distance travelled. Orvieto is a key destination, it is only 36 km away, but it will take an hour to get there. Todi is 10 km (6 miles) from the resort, the roads are not great. Ten km commute took 20 minutes. We had a one bedroom unit. The apartment was quite nice and well stocked with items you would need to prepare meals, however the grocery store is a long commute. The thing that bothered us the most was the limit of 2 rolls of toilet paper - after that you are on your own!! Then there is the book with the price list of items in the unit - anything broken or disappeared and you will be charged. The views were really nice - not spectacular as they might have been if the location was indeed Todi. Parking is an issue, the locals are not exactly happy to have tourists near them - but they tolerate us. Todi was a terrific place to explore - we loved it. there are several good restaurants with beautiful views. We especially like the Pizza Caravor - go there. After giving it some thought, weighing the experience overall we would not go back. We will definitely return to central Italy, but will not stay at Izzalini. Unless you get a terrific rate that you cannot pass up, we suggest you look at other locations. Ciao!
