Palazzo Catalani Resort

Staff is very friendy (both reception as well as breakfast and restaurant), appartment clean (cutlery not spotclean though, had to wash before using due to crumbs), appartment size great, view too. Kitchenette is very well organized and had kettle, coffee machine, toaster and other appliances which can be very useful, as well as enough glasses, plates, pots etc, very handy if you want to dine in during your stay. They also provide dish soap, tea towels and sponges, which is not always the case and was highly appreciated.

The resort is beautiful, and the upper garden has gorgeous views! Everyone on the staff was professional and welcoming and friendly in every interaction. Great location in central Soriano, and I visited during the chestnut festival, so lots going on all the time. Easy parking across the street (and further down the hill, and if you park in the underground add a set of stairs). I stayed in Apartment 1, which is a studio. It had a small, but very functional and fully stocked kitchen. I was able to cook many of my meals and never lacked a cooking tool or utensil. The fridge was ice cold, and one very nice touch was that there was a bottle of very cold water in the fridge when I arrived. So welcome! During my stay, the lower garden was closed while the landscaping and stone work was redone (that was the view from my window, but I completely understood and not a problem for me at all). The a/c wasn't very strong, which wasn't a huge problem except it was in the upper 80s in late September during my stay - unusual, but getting to be more common in Italy, unfortunately. This is definitely not a hotel for anyone with mobility issues. As nearly all other guests noted, you have to climb a steep hill to reach the lobby, and from there one of the two buildings does not have a lift and I needed to carry luggage down a full flight of stairs to reach my room. And then obviously climb the stairs and navigate the hill every time I came and went. Not an issue for me at all and I knew about it in advance, but please take this seriously if you have any concerns about mobility at all - it can be a real problem if you aren't in at least moderately good shape. I believe a porter can assist with luggage, but just getting to and from the hotel requires you to be somewhat fit or it will be a big challenge. Breakfast was always nice - typical continental breakfast. Nice cornetti, good coffee, fresh juices, other pastries and yogurts.

This is our third time at Palazzo catalani and we always enjoy it. The rooms are huge and comfortable. The staff is excellent. It is a great value for the price. We came to Soriano for the chestnut festival and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Beautiful historical building, clean and comfortable.

Rooms are spacious and nice. We stayed in the «new» building , with elevator and air condition. The Pergola area behind and above it is the best thing about this place. We sat there at night to enjoy the best pizza and wine while watching the lightning and magnificent view over the town and its castle.
