“One of the most memorable dining experiences of my life....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2005

This review is for the restuarant only. We did not stay at the hotel (although it certainly looked gorgeous).

Il Maniero is one of those special restaurant experiences you may only come across a few times in your life. It is high in the hills above Assisi, so a car is a must, but no trip to Assisi is complete without a visit to this Umbrian dining gem. The restuarant is in a 1300 year old fortress, with all the charm preserved, yet nicely updated to modern times. The ambiance cannot be beat.

I went with my husband and several other friends. We were treated like royalty- the staff is amazing. Our waiter plied us with various wines on the house, and prepared a special desert platter since we couldn't decide what we wanted to try. All of the food was delicious- especially the Umbrian Pasta that I had for a main course.

The price is very reasonable, I think our bill worked out to about 20 euros per person, including wine and desert.
In short it would be worthwhile just to rent a car for the day and drive out here for dinner. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I also recommend staying at the nearby Alla Madonna Del Piatto- a lovely farmhouse inn with beautiful rooms, sparkling modern bathrooms, and a wonderful hostess.

“This place was terrific!”

I'm sorry the last person posting had such a bad experience. I've stayed there on two occasions, and brought a group with me (10 people total). We were given a lovely room on 2 levels with a double bed in the loft; the other time we also had a large room with a double bed. All the rooms have spanking new bathrooms --marble and lots of mirror. These had shower stalls -- don't know if rooms had baths, because the bathrooms are small. Really they are much much nicer than you would expect for a 13th century building! All the people traveling with me had great experiences and were planning a return. The owners went out of their way to give us a memorable stay.
I found the host Massimiliano quite hilarious; he sat with us at dinner and wouldn't allow us to choose off the menu. Instead he had his chefs prepare us a wide array of Umbrian delights. The food there is EXCELLENT...go for dinner and the ambience if you can't arrange a stay. He also plied us with wine and local spirits, on the house. When I saw the bill (yes, I was worried) it was scandalously cheap: about $60.00 a night per person for a double room with private shower, a 3-course meal , a full breakfast, and all that wine. Paradise.
ps I agree with the last reviewer that it is hard to find. That's part of its charm: it's off the beaten track. It's now better signposted, I hear, and all the local cab drivers in Assisi know where it is. It's about 5 miles from the center of the city.

“They will trick you!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2004

I contacted the hotel and booked a romantic double room with my husband. When we got there what we got was a single room! with two single beds pushed together. We did not even have space to put our two suitcases. I read on the door where they, by law, have to publish their minimum and maximum daily rate and it clearly stated that the room was a single room. I was truly disappointed. Luckily we stayed there one night.

Another drawback is that is far from Assisi and very difficult to find. We will not stay there again.
