From the aroma of fresh bread baking in the oven to the scene from our window of sheep grazing in the fields before a magnificant view of Assisi, this charming 500 year-old bed and breakfast provides a most relaxing, comfortable and truly Italian experience. Letitzia, our hostess, was simply wonderful. She provides her guests with an array of travel tips... more

Stayed here with my wife for three nights in August, 2009. There are lots of nice agriturismo places in Umbria, and that are near Assisi. What makes Madonna del Piatto stand out are two things. First, the owner, Letizia, is very kind and a virtual encyclopedia of information on good places to visit, particularly for restaurants and shopping. The other... more

Madonna del Piatto had an incredible view of Assisi. With simple offerings, our room had a medieval feel to it and it remained a cool haven from the intense Umbrian heat. We were there for two nights so we didn't have much time to get to know Letizia, who was a lovely host. She was also busy teaching cooking courses,... more

My husband and I just returned from a 10 day trip in Italy which included 5 extraordinary days at Letizia's phenomenal Alla Madonna del Piatto. The previous reviews say it all, but I will add my 2 cents. First of all the setting in stunning - high in the hills in Umbria with a panoramic view of the gorgeous countryside... more

My friend and I recently spent 2 days at Alla Madonna Del Piatto. Our hosts Letizia and Ruurd were most gracious. Ruurd, very pleasant and helpful but more behind the scenes. Letizia, up front, very engaging and involved. The home is gorgeously situated high on a hilltop overlooking Assisi. No pictures I have seen do the actual beauty of the... more

We came here originally in March 2007 - 2 things: we felt guilty for not posting a review last year, and we had such a great time vowed to return in the future, which we've just done! Previous reviews say it all, but a special mention for the hosts. Their friendliness, helpfulness and knowledge of the area is fantastic. Grazie... more

We stayed at Alla Madonna del Piatto in September 2007. We wanted to stay somewhere relatively close to Assisi but also set well away from the town itself and Alla Madonna del Piatto was a great choice, set on a hill overlooking the town with rolling vistas in-between. Letitzia was a wonderful host and when we left my partner (who... more

Our hotel in Rome recommended All Madonna del Piatto and we cannot say enough good things about it. Forget Tuscany, visit Umbria! Letizia and her family will take good care of you! The rooms are well appointed. Our room had wood-beamed ceilings that were so romantic. The views from the agriturismo were breathtaking. We highly recommend taking one of Letizia's... more

My friend and I stated at Alla Madonna for 3 nights in November 2007. It was the highlight of our trip to Italy. The place and the surrounding area is beautiful. Letizia was wonderful. Her personality is perfect for running an Agriturismo. She was very friendly and helpful. Her cooking class is a must!! It was a lot of fun... more
