(Okay, back to the mess…)

First impressions? Well, that drive up to the villa? Breathtaking. Seriously. Like, I actually gasped. That’s the good. The problem? My phone got a little too excited and decided to ditch the GPS right at the critical moment, leading to some… adventures on narrow cobblestone roads. Let's just say I perfected my Italian swearwords before even checking in. Note to self: Download offline maps.

Accessibility:

Okay, so the “Unbelievable Villa” part of the title is absolutely true, but the accessibility bit is a mixed bag. They say they have facilities for disabled guests, and the website mentions it… but the reality? A few ramps here and there. The main building seemed pretty manageable, but some of the outdoor areas (think those stunning terraces) were a bit of a trek. It's not a fully dedicated accessible resort. This is important to know. If you’re heavily reliant on a wheelchair, I'd recommend clarifying the specifics before booking. Call and ask many questions. Do not assume.

On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges:

(This is actually a good point!) I didn’t actively seek out accessible dining, but the main dining area seemed to be. It's spacious and well-lit, which makes getting around much easier.

Internet - The Wi-Fi Wars!

"Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" the website booms. This is usually where my blood pressure spikes. The first day was a disaster. I could barely send a WhatsApp message. Then, magically, on day two, it strengthened and started working! What gives, Cucco? In the end, though, I managed to upload some of my Instagram stories. So, I'll call it a win… of sorts. Definitely had to chase that Wi-Fi signal sometimes!

The rooms, they claim LAN access. Who is still using LAN anymore?!

Things to Do – Or, “How I Tried to Relax and Mostly Succeeded”

Okay, this is where things get interesting. They have, like, everything. The spa alone would fill a novel.

• Spa Shenanigans: Ah, the spa. The massage was… transcendent. Like, so good, I almost fell asleep mid-rubdown. (And let's be honest, I probably snored.) The body scrub was fantastic. I felt like a new woman, and all the body wraps left me feeling soft as a baby’s bottom.

  • The Sauna: I love saunas. The sauna was the real deal, a proper sweatbox. The steamroom was also fantastic. You know you are in Italy when you are in a sauna with a view!
  • Pools Galore: Let's just say I spent a lot of time in the infinity pool. The view? Unbelievable. (See, they weren't kidding with the name!) The pool with view was the highlight!
  • Gym/Fitness: I did attempt the fitness center. It was perfectly serviceable, but after all that pasta and wine (more on that later), a treadmill felt more like a form of punishment.

• Things to do - The Rambling:

  • They have stuff like, "Body scrub" or "body wrap". This is pretty much just stuff that a spa does. Duh!
  • More specifically, There is a gym with a lot of basic equipment, and again, you can take the "Foot Bath" (another spa activity).

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - My Culinary Journey (Mostly Delicious, Some Disasters)

Alright, the food… chef's kiss. Seriously. The restaurant is phenomenal. The buffet breakfast? Epic. A proper, spread of Italian breakfast, including Asian breakfast and some options from the west. I was in heaven with endless coffee and pastries.

• Restaurant Rundown:

  • There are multiple restaurants, with both A la carte options and buffets.
  • They also have a coffee shop.
  • I enjoyed the soup and salad.
  • The staff was attentive and the atmosphere felt good.
  • I really enjoyed the Western & Italian cuisine.

• The Room Service Saga: (Here's the mess)

  • One night, feeling lazy, I ordered room service. I’d had a slightly wild day, maybe a bit too much sun, a bit too much wine earlier. You know how it goes.
  • The food arrived, and I proceeded to spill the ENTIRE tray of food on my bed. Pure chaos. Red sauce everywhere. And the worst part? I’d gotten, what, two bites of the pasta before the disaster?
  • The Aftermath: Okay, this is where things get interesting.
  • They did offer to clean it up immediately. Bless them!
  • But the stain? Still there. (I’ve since come clean about it, and they are happy to offer a discount later).
  • The Verdict: Room service? Delicious. Me? A disaster.
  • They have a bar and a poolside bar.

Cleanliness and Safety – COVID-19 Era

Okay, this is important. I’m a bit of a germaphobe anyway, so I was paying close attention. They definitely took hygiene seriously. Masks were worn by staff (which is still a little weird, isn’t it?) and hand sanitizer was readily available. They’re practicing social distancing rules. Everything felt clean, and they did daily disinfection in common areas. They provided anti-viral cleaning products. They had a first aid kit on tap and had the daily disinfection of common areas. I saw staff trained in safety protocol, and the dining was done safely with a safe dining setup.

However…… (And here's the messy honesty) – The whole “room sanitization opt-out available” thing? I’m slightly skeptical. I mean, are they really going to skip cleaning a room after someone leaves just because I say so? I don't think so!

Services and Conveniences – The Perks… and the Quirks

• The Good Stuff: They had it all. Daily housekeeping was impeccable. Laundry service saved my life (that red sauce, remember?). The concierge was super helpful, and the gift shop had some genuinely lovely souvenirs.
• The Quirks and the Confusions:
  • Facilities for disabled guests: As I wrote above, this needs clarification.
  • The elevator? A bit of a relic. Slow and clunky. But hey, it worked!
  • Invoice provided, which is nice.
  • The shrine feels a little weird.
  • They also have a xerox/fax in business center. Who is ever using a fax in 2024?
  • They have an event option. I did not go to a seminar.

For the Kids – (Because, You Know, Life)

I didn’t bring any kids, but I saw the kids facilities. They have babysitting service and a good family friendly environment. They have kids meals.

In-Room Goodies - My Cozy Cave

• The Comforts: The beds were heavenly. So comfortable! The blackout curtains were clutch for sleeping in (very important on vacation). The air conditioning worked like a dream. The in-room safe box felt reassuring.
• The Oddities: The bathroom phone? Seriously? Who needs a bathroom phone? And why was there a scale in the bathroom?! I don’t want to know! The fridge filled with free bottled water was a great thing to have.

Getting Around – (The Great Escape… or the Quest for the Bus Stop?)

• Parking: Free parking is a big win!
• Other Transportation: They have car park, taxi service, airport transfer
• Things I Wish They Had: More reliable bus service to the nearby town

Okay, buckle up buttercups! Because this isn't your average, sterile travel itinerary. This is me, wrestling with the sheer chaos and joy of a trip to Belvilla by OYO Villa Cucco, Fossombrone, Italy. (And trust me, the "by OYO" part is a little unnerving, but we’ll get there. Let’s just pray the sheets aren't threadbare.)

The Unofficial, Utterly Unreliable, and Possibly Existentially Questionable Itinerary: Fossombrone Edition

(Disclaimer: This schedule is more of a suggestion. My moods, the weather, and the lure of gelato could all throw this into a flaming dumpster fire. Proceed with caution.)

Day 1: Arrival & The Great Olive Oil Debacle (and the impending doom of jet lag)

• Morning (ish, depending on flight delays and caffeine levels): Arrive at Bologna airport. Pray the rental car isn't a rusty Fiat. Hope that my Italian is still vaguely functional - "Buongiorno" and "un caffè, per favore" are my only weapons against the unknown. Seriously, what if the car has a problem? I'm doomed.
• Afternoon: (God, I hope it's still afternoon.) Drive to Fossombrone. Get lost. Probably multiple times. Admire the Italian countryside. Swear I see a gnome. Wonder if this is the beginning of a hallucinatory delirium brought on by the jet lag.
• Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Arrive at Villa Cucco, hopefully before dark. Unpack. Gawk at the villa and immediately question if I’m worthy enough to inhabit such beauty. Wander around the grounds, trying to find the best spot to take a photo for Instagram (priorities, people!).
• Evening: The Great Olive Oil Debacle. Find the local market and try to purchase olive oil. Get completely bamboozled. End up buying all the olive oil. Feel both triumphant and slightly overwhelmed. Try making pasta. Burn the pasta. Eat bread. Drink wine. Lament the fact that I haven't mastered the art of Italian cooking. Attempt to read a book but fall asleep after the first paragraph.

Day 2: Ancient Ruins, Questionable Choices, and the Search for Perfect Pizza.

• Morning: Decide I'm an adventurer! Visit the Roman ruins of Forum Sempronii. Pretend I understand ancient history. Accidentally touch something I probably shouldn't have. Feel a strange connection to the past.
• Lunchtime: Find a trattoria. Order something I can't pronounce. Hope for the best. It's always a gamble. Is this a moment like in the movies, or am I going to have to pretend that I love what I'm eating and not insult the chef?
• Afternoon: Drive to a nearby town (perhaps Urbino? The guidebook mentions something… maybe). Get distracted by a gelato shop. Order three scoops. Feel no shame. Get hopelessly lost in a charming cobblestone alley. Consider moving to Italy permanently.
• Evening: Pizza quest! Embark on a mission to find the perfect pizza in Fossombrone. Try three different pizzerias. Develop strong opinions about crust thickness and tomato sauce quality. Declare one pizzeria the clear winner (even if it's just slightly better). Eat way too much pizza. Vow to start a diet… tomorrow.

Day 3: Hiking, Hidden Gems, and Existential Angst.

• Morning: Actual hiking! Find a hiking trail. Get hopelessly lost. See stunning views. Contemplate the meaning of life while sweating profusely. Swear I can hear the gnawing of my own mortality.
• Afternoon: Discover a tiny, hidden church. Feel unexpectedly moved by its quiet beauty. Consider whether I should get a tattoo of a saint. Decide that this is probably a bad idea.
• Evening: Cook a simple meal at the villa. Possibly another pasta-related disaster. Drink too much wine. Start writing a novel (it will be terrible). Stare up at the stars and feel overwhelmed by the vastness of the universe. Question if I'm really enjoying the trip or not. Feel both blissful and profoundly lonely.

Day 4: Markets, Memories, and The Great Gelato Farewell (aka, the inevitable collapse of all my plans)

• Morning: Explore a local market. Buy fresh produce. Attempt to haggle (badly). Realize I'm terrible at bartering. Buy everything anyway. Consider purchasing a weird, decorative ceramic rooster. Resist the urge. (Maybe).
• Afternoon: Drive to a scenic viewpoint. Take photos of the Umbrian hills. Reflect on the trip so far. Feel a pang of sadness that it's almost over.
• Late Afternoon: The Great Gelato Farewell. Visit a gelateria. Order ALL THE GELATO. (Different flavors this time, because, you know, variety!) Eat until I can barely move.
• Evening: Pack. Realize I've bought too many souvenirs. Swear I'll never pack this much again. (Lies.) Drink a final glass of wine on the terrace. Watch the sunset, feeling bittersweet. Contemplate what I'm going to do when I return home. Feel the overwhelming dread of reality creeping back in.

Day 5: Departure & the inevitable post-holiday blues…

• Morning: Drive back to Bologna airport. Return the rental car. Hope I haven't scratched it. Struggle to fit all my luggage into the trunk. Feel overwhelming sadness to be leaving. Feel that maybe, just maybe, a new life is about to begin.
• Afternoon: Fly home. Already planning my return trip.
• Evening: Unpack. Go back to work. Feel utterly deflated. Start researching Italian cooking classes. Plan my next adventure. Tell everyone about the amazing trip. And plan the escape!

Important Notes:

• Wine Consumption: This itinerary is highly dependent on a steady intake of Italian wine. Adjust as needed.
• Gelato Availability: Gelato is non-negotiable. You must have gelato.
• The "By OYO" Factor: Still slightly worried. Will report back.
• This is a mess. Embrace the mess. It’s part of the fun.

There you have it. My utterly chaotic and completely unreliable guide to Fossombrone. Go forth, get lost, eat pizza, and embrace the glorious, messy, beautiful chaos of Italy! And for the love of all that is holy, try not to burn the pasta!

Cucco Fossombrone: The Real Lowdown (Because Let's Be Real, You Need It!)

Okay, spill it. Is this 'Unbelievable Villa' actually...unbelievable? Or just Instagram-filtered dreams?

Alright, buckle up, buttercup. The 'Unbelievable Villa' tag? Marketing hype, *obviously*. But, and there's a BIG but... yeah, it's pretty darn close. Forget pristine perfection, this is more like... lived-in luxury with a healthy dose of Italian charm and "we ran out of the good olive oil, sorry!" imperfections. Think breathtaking views that'll make you audibly gasp (I legit did the first morning), plus a kitchen that feels straight out of a cookbook you'll never actually use (unless you're a better cook than me – which is a low bar, honestly). The whole "unbelievable" thing? It's more about the feeling. The *vibe*. You're there, in Italy. You're breathing *that* air. You wake up to the sound of church bells and the distant hum of a Vespa. It’s the kind of place that makes you forgive yourself for not packing *any* decent dresses. Seriously, pack comfy pants. And a good book. You won’t want to leave.

The bedrooms… are they as romantic as the photos? (Asking for a friend… who’s me).

Ooh, romance, eh? Let's be honest, the photos are *gorgeous*. The real deal? Picture this: draped fabrics, slightly wonky antique furniture (that adds character!), and windows that open onto views that'll make your jaw *thud* on the floor. The beds? Heavenly. Seriously. I'm usually a terrible sleeper – I toss, I turn, I blame the neighbors' dog. But in those beds? Slept like a log. One night, I *think* I even dreamt in Italian. (It probably wasn’t very eloquent, but hey, progress!). The bathrooms are... well, they're Italian. Which means charming, but sometimes the water pressure is a bit, shall we say, "vintage." Embrace it! It's part of the experience. Also, bring a hairdryer. Just trust me.

Food: Is it as amazing as Italy *always* promises? And more importantly, is there enough? I'm a hungry person.

Oh, sweet, sweet, hungry soul. Italy and food are basically synonymous. Cucco, however, takes it to another level. Remember that cookbook kitchen? Yeah, pretend you're a culinary genius, even if you're not. The local markets? Stunning. The fresh produce? Makes supermarket tomatoes look like… well, sad, anemic things. Now, about *enough*. You're going to be fed like royalty. Maybe even a little *too* well. I swear, I put on five pounds in a week, and I'm usually a champion eater. There’s a local chef option, too. Ditch the idea of cooking yourself, and just let them take care of you… It’s *heavenly*. So, pack your stretchy pants (and maybe a slightly looser belt). You've been warned. I may have cried a little when I finished my last plate of pasta.

What's the deal with the pool? Is it as dreamy as it looks or just a slightly-too-cold rectangle of water?

The pool… *sigh*. That pool. It's the perfect temperature, okay? And It’s strategically positioned to catch the sun's golden hour magic every evening. (I spent an awful lot of my time staring at the sunset each day, in fact I was so enraptured I almost didn't go out and do anything. Actually, I *didn't* go out much because of it. What a waste!) It's surrounded by those classic Italian cypress trees, offering a nice amount of privacy and shade to protect you from the powerful Italian sun. There’s nothing quite is satisfying as diving in after a long, hard day of… doing nothing productive. I should note thought: if you're expecting a fully sanitised Olympic swimming pool? Nope. It's rustic, it's charming, and there might… *might*… be a rogue leaf or two floating around. But honestly? Embrace the imperfection. It's part of the charm. Just make sure you pack a good book and some sunscreen because you're going to want to spend ALL your time there.

Okay, sound convincing. What are the downsides? Be honest! Don’t tell me it's all perfect, because I won’t believe you.

Alright, alright, here's the (very) *slightly* messy part. First, the Wi-Fi. Sometimes, it’s reliable. Sometimes, it’s... well, let's just say it forces you to *unplug*. Which, honestly, might be the best thing that ever happened to me. The mosquitos? They're real. Pack the bug spray. And those winding Italian country roads… they’re beautiful, but if you're prone to car sickness, stock up on the travel sickness medication. And finally, as previously mentioned, the water pressure in the bathrooms can be… a little unpredictable. But honestly? These are *tiny* things. These are the hiccups that make the experience all the more… real. The fact that one time the power went out, plunging the villa in darkness, and we had to fumble around for candles, only to find that the wine we'd bought wasn't chilled properly made it even more authentic. It's all part of the adventure, and it’s definitely worth it.

What's there to do *besides* sit by the pool and eat pasta? (Because, you know, balance…)

Balance! That's rich, coming from me. *Cough*. Look, if you really want to, you can explore the area. There are charming nearby towns (Fossombrone itself is lovely, definitely wander the streets). Day trips to the Adriatic coast are possible (sandy beaches galore!). Wine tours abound (yes, please!). Hiking trails beckon (I… mostly admired them from the pool.). But honestly? Half the joy of Cucco is *not* doing anything. Just existing. Reading a book. Sipping limoncello. Watching the clouds drift by. Let life slow down a little. It’s good for the soul. I'm fairly sure I have a few good memories of sitting by the pool... (I’m clearly not the adventurous type, am I?).

Is it kid-friendly? Are we talking "toddler tantrums in the Tuscan sun" or "idyllic family getaway"?

That, my friend, depends. The villa is beautiful, but I’m not sure how ‘kidproof’ it is. If your kids are the adventurous, climb-everything type… maybe keep a close eye! The pool, while gorgeous, is a pool… so vigilant supervision is a must. However, the space is immense, and there are grassy areas to run around and play in, so on the whole I’d say – a generally lovely place for a family.

Stay And Relax
