I had an amazing few days at MiaClara Relais! So relaxing and made me slow down and just enjoy! Wonderful food recommendations and the breakfast on site was great (included!). I wish I knew where they got those croissants! Maybe include the wine tasting for guests? Would be a nice touch. Family run for years! No way to do it without a car though and watch out as GPS can take you down some dirt roads which can be scary! The dirt roads were better than Houston roads but that’s not saying much and a bit treacherous in the dark!

Friendly staff, unique authentic amd romantic stay

Extremely positive experience in all ways. The room was cool and clean. Monica and her family was very friendly and service minded. Made us feel at home. Dinner and breakfast is a must! The location in the middle of the vineyard was beautiful and romantic. We recommend a wine tour with tasting. Francesco the enologist was amazing. Thanks for this time. We will be back again.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at MiaClara, and I can't recommend it enough. This charming, small property truly stands out with its personal service and immaculate, updated, and cozy rooms. One of the highlights of our stay was the stunning views of the countryside. Being surrounded by wineries, vineyards, and hazelnut trees provided a relaxing and picturesque experience that is hard to find elsewhere. Every morning, we were treated to a delicious multi-course breakfast. The fresh fruit, farm eggs, and tomatoes were delightful and set a perfect tone for the day. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. They not only scheduled car service for us but also made dinner reservations at excellent local restaurants. Our mid-afternoon arrival was warmly welcomed with a prepared charcuterie and a fresh salad, adding a personal and thoughtful touch to our experience. Overall, MiaClara is a hidden gem that offers a unique and memorable stay with exceptional service, beautiful surroundings, and delightful amenities. We can't wait to return!

Työntekijät eivät osaa englantia, paitsi isäntä, joka olikin erittäin mukava ja ystävällinen. Emännän touhu vaikutti ehkä siksi epäystävälliseltä, koska hän ei osaa Englantia ja hän mumisi itsekseen Italiaa esim. sisään- ja uloskirjauksen yhteydessä. Ilmastointi oli todella tehoton, ja yöllä oli 26 astetta lämmintä huoneessa. Kaikki mitä he myyvät, paitsi ehkä viini mukaan, on erittäin ylihinnoiteltua. Lähellä ei ole kauppoja, niin siinä on tilaisuus sitten ryöstää. Muuten oikein mukava ja rauhallinen paikka.

Incrível! O lugar, a paisagem, o hotel, o acolhimento de Mônica e sua filha Clara e equipe. Imperdível jantar o menu degustação feito pela própria Monica, harmonizado com vinho da vinícola do próprio hotel (Pietro Rinaldi). Com certeza umas das melhores experiências que tivemos em viagem.
