UNA HOTELS Tenuta Contessa Farm & SPA Cosenza

“Stunning location overlooking the rolling hills and mountains of the region. Everything is beautiful, well maintained, and we felt incredibly welcomed. The standout is the restaurant—where we were overwhelmed by the quality and freshness of the food, masterfully prepared. Everything came from the property—the vegetables, the cheese, the meat—truly a holistic farm to fork experience with elevated Italian cuisine. It was the stand out of our trip.”

“This resort is absolutely amazing and beautiful—both the stay and the property exceeded all expectations. We enjoyed the most authentic Italian food during our time here, with every dish bursting with fresh, regional flavors. Pietro was the heart of the experience—so friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. He made every meal feel personal, sharing stories behind the food and creating moments we’ll never forget. Dining here, especially the pre-fixe menu, is a must. A truly unforgettable stay paired with an equally unforgettable dining experience.”

“Beautiful resort on a mountain. Our room was clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable and the views from our room were spectacular. All of the staff were cordial, helpful and friendly. Most of them including the chef spoke English. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was wonderful. The chef came to speak with us about the menu and what we wanted. I have dietary restrictions and he was so helpful with what he could make me. The menu as well what allergens listed. The food was excellent and creative. My husband had a steak that was brought out on a searing table where he was able to cook it to his preference. Meat was tender and flavorful. Wonderful dining experience. We were only there one night but we would return again and stay longer.”

“Truly an amazing stay. The resort is unmatched. An unforgettable dining experience in Calabria! The food was simply outstanding, the house-made wine was perfection, and the desserts were out of this world. The chef went above and beyond to make my family feel special—truly a meal and memory we’ll treasure forever.”

“My stay at Tenuta Contessa UNA Hotel was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed and at home thanks to the kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail of the entire staff. The setting is beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly maintained — a true oasis. The spa is an absolute must: relaxing, elegant, and incredibly well run, it was one of the highlights of my stay. The restaurant is equally unmissable, offering delicious cuisine made with high-quality ingredients and a refined yet warm atmosphere. Everything about this place reflects care, comfort, and authenticity. It’s the kind of hotel where you don’t just stay — you feel it. I will definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for relaxation, great food, and a true sense of hospitality.”

“The spa at Tenuta Contessa was very relaxing and clean. The host Carmen was very friendly and preformed an amazing massage. Highly recommend spending an afternoon pampering yourself”

“Incredible spa and an unforgettable culinary experience. The on-site chef, who has cooked for both Italian and U.S. presidents, served dishes that were nothing short of extraordinary. He read the table perfectly—knowing exactly when we were full without a word being said. Every detail of our stay was spot-on, making it truly phenomenal. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, with comfortable beds. The only drawback is that, although each room has a thermostat, the AC is regulated to stay around 22.5°C (73°F), which felt a bit too warm for my preference.”
