A friend of mine recommended Alla Madonna del Piatto to me when I mentioned we wanted to explore the Italian countryside. No, she said, don't go to Tuscany, visit Umbria.This place was exactly what we wanted. Charming hotel with wonderful views of the countryside. But the cherry on top of the sundae is the staff. Letizia will feel like at... More

We spent 5 days at Alla Madonna del Piatto and thoroughly enjoyed it. The room was clean and comfortable with a big window view of Assisi. The two patios are both great for relaxing.

Prior to our arrival, we had the good fortune of happening upon Letizia... More

My wife and I took her parents on their first trip to Italy and Alla Madonna del Piatto was one of two places we stayed.

It is a renovated country house in the hills just outside Assisi (from our window we could see St. Francis' basilica across... More

We loved the three days as part of our month in Italy. We were two couples traveling together and especially appreciated the garden areas and the wonderful breakfasts. It was a bit of a challenge to locate but well worth it. More

This was a high light of our trip to Italy. After spending a week painting in Tuscany, we arrived in Umbria and traveled the back road to the lovely B and B "Alla Madonna del Piato'. The rustic location proved to be an adventure in itself as we drove up a dirt road on the outskirts of Assisi. Letezia was... More
