Right off of the Via di Francesco! Beautiful property to stay at, comfortable bed, and incredibly welcoming owner! Really good breakfast too!

Beautiful old villa. The best part is the owner Nazzaro. He treated me like family. Drove me to a fabulous restaurant, packed me snacks for the road. Perfect stop if you are walking the Via di Francesco.

Nazarro was very attentive and allowed us to use his kitchen to cook our own diiner.

The building and grounds were beautiful, and the location close to the Via di Francesco was ideal. Our magnificent room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, as was everything throughout the house. Best of all, however, was the warm hospitality offered to us by our host, Nazarro, whose kindness, humor, and conversation made our stay unforgettable. He arranged a sumptuous vegetarian meal for our dinner, and sent us on our way in the morning with an exquisite breakfast of fresh pastries and bread, delicious fresh local cheeses, and the truly amazing ‘Crostate delle Signora Anna’ (an artisanal fruit tart), all served with perfectly brewed coffee. Nazarro made us feel so welcome that we are already planning our return visit. Staying at Villa del Cardinale is an experience not to be missed.

The location was excellent and Nazzaro was the best host. He was very helpful and entertaining. The house itself was huge and belong to a cardinal who lavished money throughout the area making all the other houses in the area as splendid.

Our host Nazzaro greeted us with a cup of tea, since we had a difficult day of walking before arriving. He was very sensitive to our needs. we enjoyed having a heat radiator that worked in May, and the towel warmer also was working. we stayed cozy in spite of the chilly and wet weather. Nazzaro also took us to a nice restaurant for dinner and one of the employees drove us home.

Villa del Cardinale is spectacular! The grounds are beautiful and exactly as I imagined a stay in the Umbrian countryside would be. The host, Nazzaro, is a sweetheart and made me feel like I was family. Even though I don’t speak any Italian and he spoke no English, he had so much patience and a great sense of humor as we communicated using my translation app. He even took the initiative to arrange dinner for me at a wonderful restaurant up the road. He drive me into town when it was time for me to leave, dropping me at the escalator which took me up to the historic area and walking path which brought me all the way through historic Spoleto and back to the train station. There are a handful of cats outside that were very curious and cute when I sat to have a snack and enjoy the grounds. I can’t recommend this proper enough! I will be back if possible someday.

Nice historical building with incredible views, interesting paintings and cute cats. The breakfast was continental. The host is nice and warm, he also arranged a good dinner for us at a neighbor's house.

Nazzaro was the perfect host! We hiked the Cammino di San Francesco and arrived in Poreta on Easter Sunday. He made sure we could have lunch in a local shop (which was closed) and drove us to a great restaurant in the evening. Breakfast was excellent, with fresh local products, and he even packed the leftovers for our hike. Our stay at Villa del Cardinale was truly an amazing Cammino experience.

Ann Italy

Everything! An exceptional place to stay. Lovely and quiet with a beautiful host who will do anything to make your stay enjoyable and hassle free. Nazzaro (host) arranged & drove us to a magnificent restaurant for dinner a short distance from his place. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Best coffee ever! Recommend staying here when walking Camino.
