An old friend organized a trip of her friends to Italy in May of 2010. We all stayed at La Fornace, taking over the whole place. It was perfect--rooms for singles, rooms for couples on a modest budget and fancier suites for those who wanted them. We took the train into Florence one day, divided into small groups and drove...

A friend and I stayed at La Fornace for four days in May 2012. We stayed in I Papaveri, which was a spacious apartment containing two roomy bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, plus a good size living area with sofa and dining table, and a well-stocked kitchen area with cooker, fridge, dishwasher, etc. It had a homely feeling about...

We stayed here for three days this past May, 2012. The buildings and grounds were beautiful and beautifully maintained. The room was clean and spacious, and it came with a complete kitchen, which we didn't use. The location is great, very close to Assisi and a good launching point for visiting other Umbrian hill towns. The hostesses were very accommodating... More

We stayed at La Fornace a few years ago. The setting is just below Assisi on beautiful grounds. The accomodations were clean, and comfortable. The hosts made us feel right at home. I would recommend this location to anyone who wanted a great place to stay while touring the surrounding countryside. The date above is incorrect, but you didn't give... More

Owners Bianca and Fabrizio made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. Our apartment was a two bedroom with plenty of space for the dining and kitchen area. We were minutes away from quaint tourist towns; including Assisi, Bastia, Gubbio and Spello and within an hour or so of larger cities like Perugia, Deruta and Florence. The food... More

Just 2 miles from Assisi, this lovely Agriturismo ranks as one of our most memorable Italian experiences. The rooms are spotless, well appointed and roomy. There are public rooms with stunning fireplaces, where, in the evening, one can share wine (grown on the estate) with friends. The host and hostess, Bianca and Fabrizio could not be more charming, welcoming or... More

We thoroughly enjoyed this centrally located, lovingly updated agriturismo. It was the ideal place to relax and just hang out or to use as a home base to visit all the wonderful cities of Umbria. We traveled with several friends and it was wonderful to come together at day's end in the living room with a wonderful fire, great wine... More

A great central location from which you can tour tour Assisi, Perugia, Gubbio and more! The sleeping apartments were charming ,warm and well kept. Dining under the baton of Sig. B. Panbianco was delicious! Not to mention the fun cooking classes we enjoyed! And, best of all, our hosts Bianca and Fabrizio were delightful and accommodating in every way! We'd... More

We love LaFornace! We've stayed twice, in July 2007 and May 2010. Both times with large groups that I've organized and we've be fortunate enough to have the property to ourselves. (I have, however, recommended LaFornace to independent travelers and they have had wonderful experiences.) Having traveled to Italy about 9 times, Umbria is our favorite spot and LaFornace our... More
