Gradoli Palazzo Farnese Hotels

"A Truly Unforgettable Stay in GradoliOur family had the most incredible time at this home. To be honest, I wish I could gatekeep this place and all its specialness so fewer tourists would find out about it! The home itself is a perfect blend of historic Italian charm and modern amenities. It was spotless, had a breathtaking view, a hot tub, pool, a washer, dishwasher, and air conditioning—everything we could possibly need. Her mother, Chef Lidia, even came to the home and made us homemade gnocchi and tiramisu. It was so delicious we had her come back for a second time at the end of our trip!The location is a dream. The town of Gradoli is so quaint and picturesque, and it’s a short drive to the slightly bigger city of Bolsena, without the hustle and crowds of places like Florence. We effortlessly rented a boat locally and went out on Lake Bolsena.However, the absolute best part of our stay was the hospitality of our host, Daniela. She went above and beyond to make our trip special. She coordinated tennis for my husband and me at a local club just five minutes away, even though the owner didn't speak English. She also called local gyms to confirm we could drop in. When we took a trip to Florence for an evening, she sent us her favorite food and entertainment spots.This home truly felt like a special experience, and we have already booked our return for next year. We can't recommend this place and Daniela's hospitality enough."
