    2nd times in 2 years. Only one night but the enchantment of the location, the access to the main square, and pedestrian area.

    Nothing. We had a great couple of nights here.

    An extraordinary hotel. Fabulous staff. Many stairs. An amazing view from our room. Great aircon. Clock tower bells but unbothered by them. The most brilliant location. The public lifts in town make most areas accessible (not sure if wheelchair users would manage). The museum / art gallery are a must-see, and the basket-lift up the mountain not as scary as you might think!

    A little old interior building. Shine up would be beneficial. More space in rooms would be beneficial. Breakfast limited and old fashioned.

    Historic vintage building. Unusually outstanding. Few guests. Some dogs bark during the night. Charming. Service minded and friendly staff. Two charming gardens with terrasse.

    Parking is a little tricky since hotel is in the restricted traffic zone, but hotel staff was terrific in helping with directions to their free parking by the Funivia which was only a short walk.

    Loved the location, right on the plaza with convenient walking distance to everything in idealic Gubbio. Hotel staff, particularly Patricia, really made sure we had everything we needed. Downstairs breakfast was plentiful and healthy!

    Gubbio is a delightful medieval town. What a treat to stay in part of the Ducal palace right on the dramatic main piazza! The staff were excellent-so friendly and helpful. Our room had a fabulous view of the piazza and the Umbrian hills. The palace is very old so rooms are on various levels with various elevators plus some stairs in places. It makes for an adventure to find your room! The breakfast was good with eggs, yogurt, cheeses, cold meats, fruit and many sweets. There is a small bar both inside and outside on the piazza in nice weather. There are two lovely large gardens on different levels in the hotel. Close to lots of restaurants, shops etc.

    The shower barely worked; it was a trickle of hot water and then on day two the bathroom completely flooded. They did re-silicone the shower at our request but the water pressure did not improve.

    Excellent location on the Piazza with a cute cafe for breakfast, a cappuccino or wine. The room was nicely appointed and spacious. Rustic furnishings but very nice. The balcony of our room was amazing (Room 402). Unexpected and lovely with views of Gubbio. Highly recommend it. The staff was so incredibly friendly and accommodating.

    The Relais Ducale is a lovely hotel in the fantastic hill town of Gubbio.

    Relais Ducale Our bags were taken to our room (to our surprise) via stairs and elevator. Our room was spacious, always warm & looked out at the hotel’s back garden. We had a comfortable bed, plenty of storage & a basic bath. We were also provided with history of the local area. The staff was a well oiled team, helpful and accommodating. The hotel’s entrance was across from Palazzo dei Consoli & Piazza Grande. Along the street we found many ceramic artist’s shops, featuring hand painted majolica, to our delight! Near by you can take an elevator to Cattedrale dei Santi Mariano e Giacomo. Gubbio is definitely a serious hill town and we stayed at the very top of it. We were directed by the hotel to park at the Funivia Parcheggio lower level and it was free! Later that day we took the very unique Funivia Colle Eletto up the hill to the Basilica of Saint Ubaldo. Highly recommended! Another hotel detail is that it was were the TV series Don Matteo was filmed for Italian TV’s Rai Uno. The Hotel has the chess table set up outside the hotel's entrance with Don Matteo's beret and the police inspector's hat. Don Matteo (English: Father Matthew) is an Italian television series that has been airing on Rai 1, Italian national television's first channel, since 2000. The protagonist of the series is Father Matteo (portrayed by Terence Hill), a Catholic priest in a parish of the town of Gubbio, Perugia. He is also known for his unrivaled talent in investigating local crime stories. Father Matteo is a wise and respected person who really manages to understand people's problems, and always appears to be willing to help. Thanks to his charm and positivity, he often helps criminals on their way to redemption and he always convinces them to confess their crimes and to accept their responsibilities.
