After having been on the road for 8 days, where we had stayed in some very nice hotels, we arrived at Villa Potenziani in awe. The road up the mountainside indicated we would be impressed, going through the gates indicated something grand, and arriving in the parking lot delighted us. Once inside our room, we giggled at the grandeur. The room was spacious, quiet, overlooking the grounds and surrounding hills. The bathroom is spectacular, large double sinks, marble everywhere, a window, and delightful shower/bath. The staff was warm and welcoming, the accommodations more than expected, the drive to the old town minutes away, and the grounds restful and beautiful. A highlight for us, and we will return and recommend.
