“Peaceful and beautiful!”

My husband and I spent three nights at Locanda del Gallo on our recent trip to Italy. What a lovely place! It is very peaceful and serene, with a gorgeous view of the hills and valleys in Umbria. The rooms are well-furnished, the bathrooms are nicely appointed, and everything has a fresh feel to it. This B&B is off the beaten path and we needed the assistance of a local shopkeeper to point us in the right direction once we got to Ponte Pattoli, but it is worth any extra effort. There are a lot of interesting places to visit that are in the vicinity, including Assisi, Gubbio, and Cortona. Or you can relax on the patio or by the pool. The food is excellent, and Jimmy the chef (with his sidekick Giorgio) is fabulous. (Jimmy is very accommodating of special requests. Omelets weren't really on the breakfast menu, but my husband wanted an omelet, and Jimmy prepared him a wonderful omelet!) Breakfast is buffet style out on the glassed-in patio room. Evening meals, also served in the patio room, are offered for an extra 20 euros per person if you arrange in advance, and it is worth every dime. It is gourmet fare. Also, the road to the Locanda is very narrow and twisty, and we did not care to negotiate it in the dark in our rental car, being unfamiliar with the area. Coming back from our day trips, relaxing, and having a wonderful meal while watching the sun go down over the Umbrian hills was icing on the cake for us. Paola and her husband, Irish, were wonderful hosts, and we cannot recommend this place highly enough. Note: This would not be an appropriate selection for anyone who wants to be close to nightlife or the party scene, but that was not an issue for us. If it is for you, this would not be your cup of tea and you should stay elsewhere. Personally, we would go back given the opportunity.

Room Tip: Ask for an upstairs room with a view of the hills and valleys! We had a corner room with views in tw...

“Simply Wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

person found this review helpful

I stayed here with my husband and our son and daughter-in-law and we just loved it. This place is simply lovely in every sense of the word. It is set on a hill overlooking beautiful rolling hills and farms. The rooms are rustic, yet beautifully finished and offer all the amenities you could want. The breakfast is wholesome and delicious as are the dinners. Also the staff are so warm and friendly, which really makes the experience even more enjoyable.

“A hidden gem!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2011

My girlfriend and I stayed here for two nights at the end of June - we wished it could have been for longer but we were on a short tour. The hotel is peacefully located in beautiful Umbrian hills, miles from anywhere. The rooms are comfortable, the food is excellent - as others have said, Jimmie the chef is the star of the show and he's a very good reason to go for the half board option - and the pool is excellent. I was also very impressed by the Paula's approach - she was helpful but not intrusive and, most impressive, she priced the wine in the honesty bar very reasonably which she didn't have to do given that we were miles from the nearest bar/wine shop. A lovely stay in a lovely part of the country.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the ground floor - the doors open onto the grounds

“A wonderful place, and we will be back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2011

This is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. The setting is wonderful - views, deep woods all around, and many lovely towns to visit, like Perugia and Gubbio but also smaller places like Spello, Foligno... and hidden abbeys.
The owners, Paola and Irish, are most friendly, available for any advice and help, and generally making guests feel relaxed and at home, to a rare degree.
The rooms are extremely comfortable and spotless, with great character - the whole locanda is as comfortable as one could wish for, with Asian style furniture blending easily with the old stone and tiles.
The pool is particularly enjoyable, being chlorine free, and the new spa - jacuzzi, steam room and mist shower - add an extra touch of luxury.
The food is also excellent - great home baked bread (a rarity we have found in Italy) wonderful garden produce, and the irrepressible Jimmy in the kitchen.
This is the most peaceful and enchanting place we have enjoyed amongst our many travels, most highly recommended.
