Altarocca Wine Resort Adults Only

The property is beautiful - very quiet, vineyards and rolling hills. In September the pool was very quiet - we had it to ourselves for most of the morning which was nice as we were there to relax. The breakfast was excellent - huge range of fruits, cakes, meat sandwiches cheeses. The restaurant is up market and was very nice. Excellent staff and service, with great recommendations on the food and wine. In terms of location, Orvieto old town was absolutely stunning and one of my favourite places we visited. So using Altorocca as a base was very enjoyable.

The rooms were a little odd - they had a sauna (aka luxury) but didn’t have basic things like wine glasses or an iron, or anywhere to put toiletries in the shower. There is also nothing to eat during the day. The restaurant is very upmarket which is available for lunch and dinner, but if you want something small int he afternoon there is nothing and there is no where near.given it was September, the bar at the pool was closed. My opinion is the resort is aimed towards older people - we are 30 and after dinner there is nothing to do. The bar area isn’t really staffed so even getting a drink post dinner is not possible. I would just be mindful that Orvieto is a 15 minute drive away with very little transport. We had a car so it was fine but I wouldn’t recommend staying without one or you are stuck.

After a great day in Orvieto we enjoyed our stay here even though we are not wine drinkers. The view from our little balcony overlooking the valley was tremendous. Food first class. The chef even made some off menu gnocchi for my wife who is a very plain Jane eater. All was wxcellent

The mattress was kinda of average when everything else was high level.

Inviting, relaxing and high quality in the food and wine. A perfect escape from the city.

Would have preferred more options in the mini bar and better coffee at breakfast

The view

Accomodation is over a large extended area, too far away from main facilities. Two pools, our room was at the outer pool, nice pool no services, if a drink was required you needed to call reception. Wine or beer could be ordered by phone for extra 10 euro to deliver. No toilet facility. For breakfast we needed to either drive or negotiate a hilly track for 7 minutes walk. Restaurant/bar area lacked service, only used it once each time I had to walk to the bar for service. We had one of the most expensive rooms in the resort. I certainly wouldn’t recommend it.
