Country House Tre Esse

My wife and I attended a wedding in Villamena outside Assisi. We decided to make a holiday of it so we stayed six nights in this hotel (Rating 2*). Rooms very clean, double bed consisted of two single beds pushed together, (I???ve seen this many times on the Continent). We had WiFi and tv (Italian channels). The shower is hand held with no curtain, so be prepared. We ended up taking baths for the week. Breakfast was poor. Bread, cakes, croissants, cereal, coffee machine, plums, salami, cheese. No variety for the full week and no toaster which I consider a necessity. There is a lovely menu serving dinners and light snacks, which we availed of a few times. I must say though, the staff were very nice and helpful. They made us feel very welcome. I???ve got to mention the price of taxis in Assisi in general. From the hotel to the wedding venue (8-9 km ) cost ???70 return. Not the fault of the hotel. It???s just the way things are. Eg. If you wanted to taxi from train to this hotel...???30, minimum fare ???20. Total extortion. Couldn???t get over it. The tourist office said taxis are private. They have no say in the matter. So stick to buses. Except....no bus to Tre Esse. Therefore a taxi is necessary. It was the only off putting thing about Assisi. Could I suggest the hotel provide a kettle in the rooms to make tea or coffee in the evenings.

We returned to this small Country House ???hotel??? because we wanted to spend more time in the Umbria region, and we wanted to keep the price down. We had a great stay three years ago. The hotel is inexpensive and located about a 15-20 minute walk up an incline from the gates of the central city, or a 3 minute drive (there is parking inside). The hotel grounds are natural and beautiful. The rooms seem all a bit different-they are bare bones minimal but functional and far better than most hotels we have visited in Italy in this price range. The AC worked great and the internet worked great in the common area and hit our room as well. Breakfast is included. They have a dinner available a few nights a week and it was very nice- lots of food and very reasonably priced. The kids loved the pool. We found this to be a very comfortable hotel.

Tree nights in Asissi. Waking up to an absolutely astonishing view over the valley was an incredible experience! And when turning around you could see the beautiful town just close by. in walking distance to the city center and the Cathedral! Just go there!!!
