Can anyone please recommend some good hotels in Assisi for around L150,000 double? I did a search in this forum but both the Umbra & Dei Priori were too expensive (over L210,000), and La Fortezza never responded to my fax inquiry. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Good evening, Anne We can recommend <BR>the HOTEL WINDSOR SAVOIA, it is a three <BR>star hotel with 30 double rooms and located overlooking the large car park <BR>and also a great view of the valley <BR>below. We have stayed here about three <BR>times in the past 25 years. It is a <BR>very old building. Very airy rooms, al- <BR>most sure all had baths/showers/WC... <BR>The ristorante was very good for a <BR>hotel, we did return for lunch only about 7 years ago and had a very enjoyable lunch. Check into www. <BR>venere.it/ and into www.enit.it/ <BR>check database, hotels and 3 star (stelle) listings for Orvieto. <BR>Also has an e mail address, fax, etc. <BR>Richard of Hickory Hills, Il...

Anne, <BR>I stayed at the La Fortezza in 1997 and would recommend it. We didn't reserve ahead but called from the station and were able to get a room. The clerk spoke English, so maybe you would have better luck phoning directly.

Thanks Richard and Anna. I telephoned La Fortezza as you suggested and they are closed until Mar 17; the Windsor Savoie had a fax connected to their telephone number so I suppose that they are closed as well. I guess I'll have to wait until mid-March to make reservations for our April stay-- Thanks again for your ideas. <BR>

Good evening, Anne According to my <BR>two sources of Hotel information for <BR>Assisi the Windsor Savoia is open. <BR>I am repeating this directly your email <BR>along with some telephone nos to calll. <BR>Richard of Hickory Hills, IL.....

We stayed at La Rocca (near La Fortezza) and loved it. Has only about 8 rooms, and very cheap if you get a room that shares one of the pristine baths. They also have very nice rooms with bathroom if you need private facilities. Cat <BR>

hmmm.. my post yesterday didn't seem to work.. <BR>Richard, thank you but I don't have a working email address. I did however finally receive a reply from Windsor Savoia and they are fully booked the night of our visit. pity. <BR>Catalana, funny but La Rocca is another place that I tried to contact by fax. Perhaps I should try to give them a call. <BR>So far the Albergo Italia (mentioned in Rick Steve's 1997 guide) has a room available. Has anyone stayed there? <BR>Thanks to all for your recommendations.

Anne - I stayed at the Albergo Italia in October and it was wonderful. Very simple and perfectly located on the Piazza Commune which is the town center. I recommend booking it while you can.

Anne, <BR> <BR>I took several weeks for La Fotezza to reply to my email. We are planning to stay there in Oct and they told me that it would be about L130,000 for 2 adults and a child. This includes a bath but no food. You may want to email them at the following...when will you be there? <BR> <BR>[email protected]

Thanks Jim for the recommendation... we'll go ahead with that booking. Sandi we will be in Assisi in April so la fortezza's probably already full; nevertheless I've emailed them anyway. Thanks!
