Hotel La Fortezza

Hotel La Fortezza was a delightful experience. Room Lavendar was clean and bright with a terrace and a remodeled bathroom. The Hotel Employee was an amazing hostess and so very helpful. Breakfast was good with a beautiful terrace to dine on.

Great location near the piazza and above a restaurant

It was a little noisy at night and in the morning

Convenient in the middle of the steep hills of AssisiWonderful breakfast

Had to stand and step in the shower to sit on the toilet. We are used to small bathrooms, but this was teeny tiny.If you’re larger than 5 foot 10 or 140 pounds, you might not make it in

A historic medieval inn! Great view from 3rd floor rooftop lookout. As long as one can climb stairs, it's easy to get to. Quiet and just off the main street below. Great breakfast and restaurant for dinner. Owners are friendly and caring!

Perhaps put a sign at the bottom of stairs with an arrow up for directions!

Good location.

Be aware that a climb of many steps is required to reach the entrance to the hotel. No help is available.

The location is great but people should be warbed they have to climb LOT ov very steep steps hauling theit luggage. The hostess spoke no English and we had trouble communicating when we needed a taxi called. We had to book it ourselves online.

A very helpful staff of one. She was professional and efficient. Location was close to many sights that interested us, but too many steps to climb to reach it.

Room on an upper floor- bad for more “mature” guests. Property location at a very high location that was only reached after climbing 4 flights outdoors. Bed was not comfortable.

We loved the vibe and ambiance and cleanliness of the hotel, the proximity of the hotel to St Carlo Acutis' entombment as well as all the already well known attractions such as the Basilica of St Francis and St Claire. The tourist information office is also very close by. I loved that there were so many restaurants with very good food close by. The included breakfast in the hotel was awesome! We also liked that we could take public transportation to get to the hotel.

It would have been nice if the description disclosed that because the hotel is located in the historic setting of the town there are many steps leading up to the entrance of the hotel. We would have understood and could have planned accordingly and brought all our stuff in our backpack instead of bringing a roller bag. 76 steps up to the entrance which is past their restaurant and then another set of stairs up to our room.

Location and breakfast!

Location was great Breakfast was wonderful!

Room size

Located right in the city. Place was fine.

Too much walking to get to hotel. Parking is not easily found. Host was not very responsive for information.

Beautifully location, terrific mattress, lovely view, excellent breakfast

Bit of a climb and some stairs since we were on bicycles, but cozy area with lots of eating options. Nice breakfast.

Location is very central, but just enough off the main square to avoid crowd.

Breakfast was excellent with wide variety of foods, sweets, fruit, meats, eggs and wonderful pecorino cheeses, but I would appreciate also some vegetables - tomatoes, cucumbers or bell peppers.

We only realized on the morning we checked out that the hotel is at the foothill of the town's Asio hilltop fortress, Rocca Maggiore, which is also believed to be initially the 3rd/4th century Umbrian settlement. The walk uphill along winding alley ways is relatively an easy 15-minute walk from the hotel. Amazingly, the hotel is also a couple of steps down to the Piazza del Comune which we used as a hub to explore the old town of Assisi. Ottavia, the host, used whatsapp to initiate contact and provide instructions to get into our assigned room, Fresia. The view from Fresia's window is rooftops and windows of adjoining houses. The room exudes ancient vibes but with modernized amenities, bed was comfortable with fresh linen, heat pump plus radiator kept us warm while the bathroom was conveniently designed for ease. Wifi was strong and not problematic connecting. Continental breakfast buffet was held at the separate but nearby La Fortezza restaurant and included fresh blood red orange juice and an amazing spread of local specialties in addition the usual croissant and related pastries. A side note that we also opted to have our one and only dinner in Assisi at the Ristorante and it lived to its reputation as one of the fave local dining spots! For guest arriving b Train from Rome, there is an option of using the local bus to get to the hotel from the train station. We opted to use a taxi since the walk down from the bus stop towards the Piazza del Comune may be inconvenient for travelers with heavy/bulky luggage.

Nothing really.

Absolutely amazing dinner in the hotel restaurant - the chianina meat from the fire was out of this world! Beautiful location and view of the city. Delicious breakfast with wide variety of homemade cakes, boiled eggs, local meat and cheese.

Soundproofing very minimal. Would be better if they had soap dispensers in the room to minimize waste. Bread selection at breakfast could be improved by adding some local bakery bread. Cakes could contain some more salt to make them even tastier!

Right in the central old town. Staff (Ottavia) made me feel part of her family, helped arrange transport when faced with a train strike & the breakfasts were great. ♥️

Shower curtain a little tricky to prevent leaking, smoking below the window a little troubling but common in region.

Great central location short walk to the main piazza but also very quiet.

Breakfast was excellent with lots of delicious options but did not start until 8:30 which was a bit late for me.

Great location, fantastic restaurant, easy checkin. Get off the bus from the station at Piazza Matteotti at the top of the hill and it’s an easy 5 minute walk downhill to the hotel.

Very noisy during the day (no afternoon napping possible), but ok at night.
