Whilst we didn't stay at Calagrana we attended a one morning cookery class with Albi whilst in the area. It was absolutely brilliant! For anyone thinking of doing a cookery class in Italy I would highly recommend this one. It is hands on, well explained and you learn "techniques" that make up recipes rather than just one recipe. Albi is... More

We stayed here for five days with two children age 10 and 12. LOVELY, large rooms, rustic and wonderfully free of 21st Century distractions (the kids actually read!!!) Perfect base for visiting Umbria and Tuscany. WONDERFUL restaurant, lovely pool (for kids and adults) peaceful and beautiful location. Owners Ely & Alberto made us feel truely like part of the 'Calagrana'... More

We are a Dutch -Canadian couple and stayed at Calagrana for 3 nights while passing by. We intended to stay only 1 or two nights, but since we loved it so much we extended our stay. The owners Ely and Alberto are wonderful friendly people, and so is the rest of the staff including their lovely, wise-beyond-her-years daughter. We had... More

This was by far the best restaurant that we ate in on our holiday in Italy. We were staying a little distance away but it was well worth the travel. We tried many different restaurants but none compared. We stumbled upon the restaurant on our second night in Italy, we were arrived a little too early but we were directed... More

The swimming pool is on a slope. There is no privacy by the pool the owners daughter and friends are watching your every move and performing water gymnastics a good deal of the time. Do yourself a great favour --book a villa or an apartment. More

This is the second time we have stayed in this area and Clagrana is by far the best restaurant around. We were staying higher up the hill so it was very convenient,but this is a must if you are in the Niccone valley. Homemade pasta, homebaked breads,fresh produce from their small farm and an excellent chef. The wine list is... More

We travelled with another couple and were looking for a place to stay to experience Umbria and Tuscany. Calalgrana fit the bill entirely. It is located on a hill overlooking a lovely valley. Umbertide is about 10 minutes away by car and has shops and restaurants if you want a night away from Calagrana but we did not feel the... More
