Residenza Dei Ricci

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful B&B. The hospitality was truly outstanding — the owner went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and even brought us to the most amazing restaurant, which turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The whole experience was unforgettable, and without doubt the best I’ve ever had in Italy. Everything about our stay was perfect — from the comfort of the accommodation to the warm, personal touches that made us feel at home. If you are looking for an authentic Italian experience filled with history, charm, and genuine hospitality, this is the place to stay. We are so grateful for the memories and can’t wait to return!

Our trip to view Etruscan sites in Chiusi and nearby Sarteano was made even more magical with a three day stay at this Relais. A truly wonderful B&B hosted by Donatella and Raffaele. Great location in the old town with a wonderful room, garden and breakfast. Pastries were outstanding. Raffaele helped with taxis and restaurant recommendations. Such a memorable stay. Grazie.

I stayed for a week in May 2025 at the Residenza Dei Ricci. The accommodation is beautiful and unique. My room was lovely and exceptionally clean; the breakfast was fabulous, with home cooked pastries and cakes made by Donatella. Both the owners, Raffaelli and Donatella are gracious, so friendly and genuine. I would certainly stay here again. Sandra

I spent 8 nights at Residenza Dei Ricci and it was truly one of the best experiences I have had travelling. Donatello and Raffaele were such gracious hosts and really went above and beyond to make my stay special. My room was spacious, beautifully decorated and clean. The bed was so comfortable and the linens luxurious. Donatella is an incredible chef and breakfast was not only a treat for the eyes, but the variety of baked goods was outstanding. There was also a choice of meats, cheese, fruit and bread as well as savoury mini quiches. Juice, cereals and for those with gluten intolerance there was a selection to choose from. I did not go away hungry or wanting more. I did a cooking class with Donatella one afternoon. She was patient and shared her secrets for making the best fresh made pasta dough. We made ravioli, tagliatelle and topped off the experience making tiramisu. All of which I got to enjoy for dinner that evening! Residenza Dei Ricci is located a short walking distance to many restaurants and a fantastic coffee shop. There is also a beautiful garden to enjoy and they truly made me feel welcomed to make myself at home. I truly did feel at home and was sad to leave, but I look forward to returning to this gem and Chiusi.

Living in a Palazzo We stayed in the Zodiac Room, which has frescos on the ceiling and beautiful antique furniture. The room is right off a shared common area which is also palatial and furnished with antiques. If you want to experience lifving in an autherntic Italian palazzo, this is the place! The owners are very freindly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent.

The owners are very friendly and nice people. Great location but Chiusi is small. Large and quiet room with minibar. Good shower, spacious. Unstable Wi-Fi, comes and goes. The room on the top floor was like this. Downstairs at the reception and breakfast seemed better. Good breakfast with lots of sweets, but also unsweetened yogurt, nuts and cold cuts. There was a lack of fresh fruit and more of the savory part. Difficulty: Stairs to get to the room: 2 floors. The owners give out several keys, and the one that opened the door that gives access to 2 rooms was difficult to open and made me give up going out at night. They had already warned me and I advise anyone who goes to ask to be shown what it's like in person. Price a little expensive for what it offers: I've stayed in good hotels in Italy with all the comforts for less. But there aren't many accommodation options in Chiusi and this B&B is of above average quality. The service provided by the owners is the highlight, they are very attentive and very helpfu
