Enoteca & Locanda Guidi — Restaurant in Sansepolcro

I confess I have mixed feelings about this place. On the one hand because I arrived with a sprained ankle they were gracious to give me a room very early that was all ready, instead of the one I would have received had I arrived later in the day. I stayed cooped up of necessity for 2 days. The attitude they showed was always friendly. And the room itself was clean spacious and remodeled with remarkably modern bathroom fixtures and wonderful air conditioning that worked perfectly in 97° temperatures! Thank God!

There is a restaurant associated and I ate there one night. I couldn't eat there the second night because they were closed on Wednesdays. But I must say the food was good, the wine selections were amazing, the table settings remarkable, and service was good. You could see a chef with a top hat and a sous chef with a top hat through the glass in the kitchen.

On the other hand, the outside appearance is deceptive because it looks "run-down" and doesn't have much of a reception area at all; only a wide place in the hallway with a beat up desk. And perhaps most surprising of all there was no one there. There was only a small type written note that said to check in please call this number. I couldn't believe it. Maybe it's me but my first impression was pretty bad.

And another matter was the breakfast. I was given a slip of paper to go around the corner for breakfast each morning. That may be because the restaurant was closed the first morning and I don't understand about the second morning. Anyway I went to the location and it was a bar and there was no explanation given as to what I was permitted to choose. I chose a pastry and a foucasio and a cappuccino. But when I asked for a small bottle of water I was told I'd have to pay for that. This is certainly different from the open buffet style breakfast at most of the locanda's where I stay. It put me off enough that I didn't even bother to go back for the second morning free breakfast.

I spent two nights here and because I was pretty much laid up, it was the room that was most important. So I really can't complain.

But to be honest Sansepulcro does not seem a particularly lively or attractive town. I would not choose to go back either to the town or to the...

To be fair, this is not a proper hotel, it is a few rooms over a bar and (I think) restaurant too. The location is about 5 to 10 minutes both from the railway station and point where long distance buses stop in the town. Suggest have a map to hand and a sharp eye when walking along the street where this place is as it could easily be missed.||||When I arrived, the door was open with a handwritten note with my name on asking me to call the proprietor. He answered straight away and was literally a short distance away. He checked me in, I settled up there and then as I had an early start. He was good enough to give me a smalldiscount of €4 for not taking breakfast in the morning.||||The room was OK. By no means modern, but at the same time not old and in need of updating. Bathroom was in good condition and it wasperfectly good for the price for the one night. WiFi worked OK and overall I had a good...
