"Always warm hospitality."

"We spent 4 wonderful weeks at Villa Belvedere & wholeheartedly recommend it. From our very first inquiry, Vanessa was unfailingly responsive, thoughtful, & generous with her time. Even before we booked, she offered detailed recommendations for places to eat & things to do, often making reservations herself for smaller restaurants without online booking. Every suggestion turned out to be excellent.Once we arrived, her support continued. She arranged an extra gate key when our 3 cars set off in different directions & seamlessly handled several dinner bookings & changes. The Villa itself is beautifully designed & flexible—spaces used as living areas when it was just the 2 of us easily converted to bedrooms when we hosted more guests, comfortably sleeping 9, each room with its own washroom. The Wi-Fi was superb, even with 3 of us on video calls at once.And then there’s the view: utterly breathtaking. Each of the 16 people who stayed with us over the 4 weeks said they’d never tire of it. Vanessa also organized fantastic cooking lessons at the Villa: Chef Valentina, who later welcomed us to her wonderful restaurant D’Antan in Cesena, & Chef Roberto, who taught our family groups to make pasta, piadina, & dessert, even bringing his homemade Nocino. They were both absolutely wonderful.This was a big, much-anticipated trip, & Villa Belvedere exceeded every expectation. It was worth every bit of the splurge for such a spectacular place, & for Vanessa’s exceptional care & hospitality."

"The host was absolutely lovely and very welcoming, and the home itself is beautiful with generous gardens. That said, I found the room quite small – I had to place my suitcase on the bed to open it – and the mattress was very firm, which made for a less comfortable sleep. Because the room is on the ground floor near the front door, I was woken when new guests arrived around midnight. The bathroom had no amenities, and while the towels were clean, they were quite worn and frayed. Overall, while the hospitality was warm, the accommodation itself felt just okay for me."

"The hotel is in a remote location up on a hill with a beautiful view looking back toward Cesena. Our room was very nice and bright with the shades open. The bat was vey clean and modern. We can’t say enough about how wonderful the staff was. We ate dinner one night and the food was terrific. The wait staff was friendly and efficient. We weren’t rushed and we were allowed to stay well past completion of our meal. The hotel staff made transportation arrangements for us as well as both lunch and dinner reservations at restaurants they recommended. We couldn’t have been more pleased with their suggestions. We highly recommend The Hotel Monty Banks."

"Fantastic stay with wonderful hospitality and cuisine. We’ll definitely return."
