We just came back from three nights at le Preghiera. We stayed in the B&B part and our daughter and her husband and a close friend rented the villa. The whole ambiance there is wonderful. John and Liliana are excellent and charming hosts and Guilia, who runs the reception, really looks after you as well. The house is beautifully restored... More

We chose La Preghiera for our honeymoon destination as we were looking for a romantic, peaceful and luxurious place to stay in a beautiful countryside location. The quality of the guest house and hospitality we received from John and Liliana exceeded our expectations. The guest rooms have been finished to an excellent standard with modern amenities whilst maintaining a strong... More

My (now) wife and I were recently married at what we affectionately refer to as "La P." We rented the entire two buildings for three nights, B&B, and had our ceremony and reception there. We cannot say enough about the venue, the owners (John and Liliana) and their in-house planner/manager, Giulia. Thoughtful, flexible, sweet, thorough, professional and welcoming are all... More

Par Excellence! La Preghiera is the consummate, ideal place to visit! This monestery that has been transformed into a vacation resort is tastefully furnished. The surrounding landscape beautifully planted. The immaculate rooms with exquisite linens, everything pristine and spotless! The hosts, Liliana and John, are two not only beautiful people, but extremely intelligent, personable and caring. My stay was the... More

Having endured the commercialsm of other resorts in Italy, it was an absolute pleasure to arrive at La Preghiera. I have never been to a more tastefully developed and furnished hotel. Standing in its own grounds it exudes a wonderful sense of rural tranquility and peace. The owners and staff work tremendously hard to ensure that every need is met... More

La Preghiera was a very special place for me this year. It was a haven providing a week of much need rest and recuperation (after my leaving a job of 8 years that I loved but which had exhausted me). My stay with you marked the start of a year of freedom, learning, travel and music (shortly to end!). And... More

Rob and I enjoyed the most wonderful wedding at La Preghiera. 30 guests joined us for our wedding in the chapel and most of our guests stayed at John and Liliana's stunning home for 3 days. The owners and their staff could not do enough for us and the standard of the catering and services for the wedding was impecable... More

During our recent trip to Umbria we found of the owners of La Preghiera to be intrusive, insulting, patronising and extremely unprofessional throughout our stay. Although we booked exclusivity of the villa John and Lilliano's presence was apparant everyday from breakfast time to late at night. The constant monitoring, both in person and via CCTV became unsettling and unnerving (... More

Having read some of the below reviews (after having booked our stay) it was with some in trepidation that we met John and Lilliana on arrival at La Pregiera a few weeks back. However we need not have worried in the slightest. We found them to be extremely polite and helpful and in no way at all unwelcoming. Yes you... More
