Hotel Alla Madonna del Piatto Assisi Farm Stay (Assisi, Italy)

About Alla Madonna del Piatto Assisi Farm Stay

Alla Madonna del Piatto is a small agriturismo – farmhouse inn – that has a spectacular setting in the forested hills and olive groves north of Assisi, Umbria. It offesr bed and breakfast rooms, cooking classes and a vacation rental in a warm, welcoming, traditional setting. The area around Assisi is one of great natural beauty, blanketed with olive groves and hardwood forests, and home to wild boar, hares, pheasants and countless species of birds: small wonder that it is most closely associated with Saint Francis. Agriturismo Alla Madonna del Piatto dates back as far as the 13th century - a shepherds' fortification which was gradually extended and converted into its current state. Although abandoned during the late 20th century, a work of restoration was begun in 1997 - the traditionally-refurbished farmhouse is now at the heart of a small thriving farm producing top-class, organic olive oil. The holiday accommodation has a sunny, south-facing aspect with superb views of Assisi's famous Basilica - home to some of Italy's most important mediaeval art. Other local attractions include Gubbio, Todi, Orvieto, Spoleto and Perugia. You can make easy excursions to Siena and the Sagrantino vineyards of Montefalco.
