Actually stayed in 2006 - not 2007 - the drop down only goes to 2007.
Perfect hillside location, perfect for day trips, superb restaurant, excellent accommodation. We had a lovely room with a terrace and superb views across to Assisi. We're returning in 2010, this time with 8 friends from the US which I wouldn't risk if I was in doubt!

I and my family had a very nice stay at the Poggio degli Olivi. Our two B&B rooms were large, clean and very nice and, above all, the location is magnificent and very quiet. The main building, where you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner, overlooks the valley and you can see Assisi on the other side of the valley. Truly a stunning view, especially early in the morning and in the evening. The whole area is beautiful, immerse in olive trees and woods. Breakfast was excellent, although you may be disappointed if you don't have a sweet tooth. Coffee/Tea, usual cereals, many kinds of jam/marmelade, crostatas, breads, croissants, fruits, yoghurt, a bit of "salume" and cheese but not much. We had dinner there once and ate very well (good food and very well presented, with a table overlooking the valley, quite a treat). Overall, food was very good although I would not say memorable. We could not try their "osteria", which only opens during the week-end.

One other reviewer complained about "not having any place to relax except his room". I cannot fathom how this could have been the case. There is a very nice outdoor swimming pool (but see below) and the whole property is full of lawns, tables and chairs where one can relax and enjoy the place.

The several staff I dealt with were nice and friendly (I cannot judge on their English because I am Italian). You have to drive a few miles to reach the place from the main road, but you can't miss it if you follow the directions and signs on the road. The location is excellent to visit many of the beautiful towns in the area: Assisi, Todi, Spello, Deruta, Montefalco, Perugia and many others are not far. If you like red wine, do make sure you try Sagrantino di Montefalco!!

I would certainly recomment this place to a friend, although it was not perfect (but what is?). Here are a few things which could have been better (but don't forget that my overall review remain overall very very positive):

- lots of mosquitoes (and smaller suckers) in the evening, and no screens.
- the pool opens and 9AM (way too late!!) and closes at 7PM. You are required to use a bathing cap, which I think is absurd. But anyway no one was wearing one, and no one of the (present) staff ever enforced the rule. They always keep fairly loud music there, which I thought was a bad idea, but I never tried to have the music switched-off or the volume reduced.
- my Jacuzzi didn't work.
- the showed is badly designed: you cannot hang the shower head anywhere so you have to keep it in your hand while you use it, which is really silly.
- the WCs are not well designed and the flush did not clean very well.

I frankly didn't recognise this Agriturismo from some of the mealy-mouthed reviews posted here. We have just spent 5 days there and loved it: stunning position, friendly staff and wonderful food. Also the aircon was very efficient in unseasonal temperatures of 35C+, can't imagine how someone thought it didn't exist! You have to remember that this is not a 5-star American-style hotel and that its charm lies in its very italian nature. And frankly they try very hard to speak English; there was a group from eastern Europe while we were there and the staff could not have done more to accomodate them despite the language difficulties. Perhaps we should all try a little harder to offer a few words of Italian rather than expecting everyone to speak english all the time: a little goodwill goes a long way

Il Poggio degli Olivi has a hillside setting with a great view of Assisi across the valley. The staff was as helpful as they could be considering their so-so English skills.

As one would expect with an agriturismo, it's in the country but it's paved roads all the way, and there are signs everywhere in the area pointing to the place. Only one sign was hidden by overgrown trees. Otherwise it's well marked and easy to drive to.

They have geese, deer and pigs on the farm, plus miles of olive groves.

Free wi-fi is available in the restaurant. No English channels on the TVs. No air conditioning but the stone buildings and high ceilings help keep things fairly cool.

We didn't eat at the restaurant, but it's beautiful, with a great view of the valley. Since we had kitchenettes in our apartments, we bought food at the nearby village where the locals seemed happy to help tourists find what they needed at the grocery store.

We enjoyed our stay and evenings on our porch looking at the lights twinkling in the valley below us.
