I had high hopes for this hotel. Website and reviews painted a great picture. The front desk staff was beyond friendly and helpful ( jennifer and Fabiola). The site on a hilltop is stunning but comes at the price of a 30-40 minutes drive up the mountain on hairpins.. from either Assisi or via Spello( not to be missed). The rooms are sparse in decor and rather functional without any style. Rated Four Stars in Italy, it felt more like a three stars. Friendly Staff emanated mostly from other European countries so few know the area.Food was great and breakfast on terrace is fantastic.
The grounds however looked like it needed some attention.
Pool was not heated, Tennis court overgrown with weeds so was the minigolf. The landscaping was overgrown with flowers, weeds and grasses. It seems the owners of the property spend
very little to upkeep the grounds which is a shame as the site is beyond stunning. Expect less and you might be pleasantly surprised. After 2 days here, the drive gets tiresome.

Hotel Le Silve is an outstanding small 4* hotel.

Located in a nature reserve, almost at the top of Monte Subasio, about a 10 minute drive from Assissi, it provides the perfect contrast to this incredibly beautifl city.

The hotel, which because of it's location is only for those travelling by car, has the most wonderful views over a range of rolling Umbian hills. The dawn and sunsets here are breathtaking.

This beautiful stone built, dof friendly hotel perfectly combines the old, restored rooms with modern appointments. There is a reasonable sized carpark and some excellent, if challenging walks in the vicinity.

The best about this hotel is the chef, the quality of the food, the size of the winelist and the quality of staff in every department.

Well recommended

If you are looking for a place off the beaten trail in the hills of Umbria or Tuscany, Le Silve is the place to go. Our family of 5 booked two rooms at Le Silve for a restful and relaxing few days between Venice and Rome, and were anything but disappointed. We all enjoyed immensely the horseback riding with Marco, the owner, and Giovanni, who runs the stables. Our children had fun feeding the cattle and pigs. The pool was refreshing. Our farmhouse rooms were quite comfortable, though the mattresses could use replacement (our only complaint). The food was spectacular! Americans appear to have not yet found this place, which was another plus for us. All in all, a wonderful place to stay.

The location of this hotel is wonderful if you like being surrounded by spectacular scenery no matter which way you look.The rooms are spotlessly clean though a bit on the dark side.When the weather is good it's absolutely fabulous there...the pool area is lovely, tennis court is fine and there's lots of walking to do albeit very steep hills.The altitude is a definite factor here...can leave you very breathless.Be warned though that in cold or rainy weather there is nowhere to go.There are no indoor recreational facilities at all, not even a reading room and it can get very, very cold.
The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. I cannot praise them enough.
Dinner takes hours to get through but the food is fabulous.We eventually persuaded the chef to cater to our two vegetarians and he came up trumps! The menu does not change from week to week and one disadvantage was that there is no such thing as a simple lunch.You either had to sit through a formal meal or face the long , tortuous drive to the next town.
All in alll we had a lovely time here .Weather permitting ,it is one of the most beautiful spots we've been to in Italy and the accomodations are first rate.
