Hotel Residence Raffaello — Hotel in Sassoferrato

After many visits to Sassoferrato over many years, we stayed here for the first time a few weeks ago. Relatives who live in Sassoferrato made arrangements for us, so we were greeted warmly upon our arrival on a Saturday afternoon. We stayed in one of the apartments, on the third floor. The lack of an elevator is a bit of an inconvenience but the proprietor, Rinaldo, helped us with our bags. The apartment was quite spacious and fully furnished (including a washer and dishwasher) and, of course, had a kitchen with a full-sized fridge. This was important to us as we were going to stay a few days and would be buying some groceries. The residence is well situated. I would certainly recommend a car for exploring Le Marche and adjacent Umbria (we easily day-tripped to|Assisi) and convenient, safe street parking was available literally at our doorstep. Still we could walk to the center of Sassoferrato. The inclusive, Italian [cold] breakfast was adequate. Maura, Rinaldo’s wife, served us and was very attentive to our needs and friendly. Between our elementary Italian and her English (her son lives in the US) we were able to communicate just fine. And Rinaldo spoke English as well.

We couldn’t figure it out how to turn it on and slept a bit uncomfortably in our clothes for the first two nights. We called Rinaldo the next day and he was about an hour away but came immediately with a technician to fix it and all was well. Overall, we had a great experience at the Raffaello, thanks especially to the hospitality of...

We recently stayed at the Raffaello Residence during a cycling trip through the beautiful regions of Umbria and Marche, and loved our time there. We were made to feel incredibly welcome and our host, went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. We were especially grateful that she went out of her way to allow us to wash our sweaty cycling kit, a small gesture that made a huge difference to our comfort. The rooms themselves were magnificent. The ornate decor and elegant furnishings made them feel like a luxurious retreat, yet they were also perfectly comfortable and relaxing after a long day of cycling. The breakfast was fantastic, including fruit, muesli, traditional Italian pastries, and their truly delightful local ricotta and chocolate cake. It was a perfect blend of a continental and regional breakfast. Raffaello Residence is a truly special place, offering not just a comfortable stay but a warm and welcoming experience. We highly recommend it to anyone...
