Top 10 La Bandita Townhouse Hotels

I booked a classic room, not in the main building, But the website did not explain this situation, and the other rooms in the main building are more beautiful, and it feels more advanced, it feels like a hotel. The classic room type is like a homestay, unlike the feeling of a hotel. It is a few steps away from the main building. There are two rooms in the classic room type. There is a public living room. It has to share the living room part with the guests in another room. Although the living room is basically not used... But it is not the feeling of a five-star four-star hotel at all. Although the hotel staff is courteous and the service is very good, I feel not satisfied with this room here, and I don’t attach expectations, because it seems to live in B&B. The room is clean, Breakfast to walk to the main building of the hotel opposite the place, not in the main building, but very close... Among them, the photo is to go up the stairs to enter the room after the door, and the public living room is outside the door. Lock the door is to pull the key out and put the key position (the electricity will be completely turned off), you can lock the door, lock it, and then put the door key back in place.

This lovely small hotel has simple (not overly decorated), clean rooms, which is all we need for the basics. What makes it extraordinary is the restaurant--amazing food--and especially the staff. Silvano could not be more helpful. He is always willing to suggest a parking area in whichever hilltop town we want to visit on any day, and he was willing to call and make sure that the restaurants he recommended for lunch were open in April 2022 as establishments were rebounding from winter and/or covid closure. Antonio is the perfect head waiter. My sense is that he reads people extremely well and responds to different guests in the way that is most comfortable for them. He is always professional, but if he senses, as he did with us, that we're open to being more familiar and friendly, he responds with wonderful humor. And other staff, with whom we had less contact, were also very helpful. We never want to leave after a few days, and we come back each time we're in Italy.

The concept is to renovate village houses into hotel rooms while providing breakfast and other amenities in another building. The rooms were nice, not great, but I still loved the concept. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served at the ”Palazzo” a few hundred meters away on a semi-covered outdoor patio. Breakfast was excellent but in late September it can feel like camping out. Shivering while sipping your coffee is not quite a luxury experience. We were here on a bike tour. We have toured throughout Europe and many times in Italy. This is the very first hotel I have ever encountered which charges to store bikes in a garage: 5 euros per bike per night. We were there for 6 days. I could understand if we had e-bikes that needed to be plugged into a power source, but ours were just leaned against the wall - for 5 euros each per night. Also be aware that the pool is off limits unless you are staying in the Palazzo. And the nice outdoor patio, you can only use it if you buy drinks from the bar. Lastly the staff at the front desk were thoroughly disagreeable. It was as if they didn't understand that we were the guests and their job was to welcome and assist us, not that we asked for much more than room keys. Having said that, the restaurant staff were gracious, friendly and accommodating. Again, I loved the concept, but the execution needs some work. Would I stay here again? Nope.
