Hotel Ideale

This quiet family run hotel stole our heart while in Assisi. Very welcoming and the best view you could ask for from their very large garden terrace overlooking the Umbrian countryside. Hearty breakfast served each morning to easily hold you over until lunch. The rooms are simple but comfortable and ours had a balcony overlooking Assisi and the countryside. I highly recommend this quaint family run gem!

This is a beautiful family-run hotel just outside the Assisi Old Town. Wonderful for walks into the city and absolutely quiet and away from the crowds. The views from our second-floor balcony were incredible. The service here was extremely friendly, with an amazing breakfast. Thank you to the entire family from us! We will be back.

I can highly recommend you to stay in this lovely hotel.
I had a wonderful room at the end of the garden, amazing views, space and cleanliness.
Such a peaceful place with overlooking gardens and the beautiful town of Assisi.
I thought the breakfast was amazing.
Perfect.

We can’t say enough good things about Hotel Ideale in Assisi. The location is amazing overlooking Assisi and the Umbrian Valley. Our room had a balcony that took full advantage of the beautiful view. The hotel is small and well maintained; our room was small but efficient. Although you have the ambiance of an older property, the rooms, bathrooms and common areas reflect a recent and tasteful updating. Most importantly, the hotel is run by a family who has your comfort as their highest priority. All the members of the family are very friendly, and the attention to your comfort is evidenced by the wonderful breakfast served each morning. Hotel Ideale is a perfect place to stay in Assisi, and we would visit the hotel if our travels take us here again.

Our three-night stay in this beautiful place was perfect: a large and comfortable room with stunning views, a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower, a kind and friendly staff, and easy walking distance to Assisi’s most important historic sites. We had been browsing Assisi hotels on TripAdvisor for more than a year, trying to find a recommended hotel which could provide a quiet refuge as well as proximity to the train station, since we would be traveling through Italy by train. When we read the reviews of Hotel Ideale, and especially when we browsed the hotel’s web site and saw the spectacular views from the upper rooms, we knew that this was indeed the “ideal” hotel. We booked six months in advance in order to ensure a queen room with a balcony, and we received an immediate e-mail confirming our reservation. When the hotel staff learned that we would be arriving by train on March 30, they kindly sent an e-mail message asking if we would like a taxi to meet us at the station to drive us to the hotel. They even specified that the taxi driver would be a young man named Lorenzo and that he would meet us outside the station when our train arrived in Assisi. On the day we arrived, there was Lorenzo waiting for us, and he even carried our bags up to our room once we were inside the hotel. He was a helpful and engaging young man, and his English was excellent.
There were 33 steps leading from the hotel reception on the ground floor to room 31, which was our room.

Hotel Assisi is a gorgeous family owned and run hotel. The pride of ownership is evident. The staff are friendly family members. The views of the rooms facing the valley are highly recommended for sunsets and all day observing. The outdoor patios areas also offer spectacular scenic views of the valley and are accessible to all guests. The rooms are on the smaller side with tight box-style showers only. Breakfast is served with diverse food options but limited in variety. The location is just outside the old city to be away from the crowd noise and close enough for walking anywhere in the city. The price is reasonable and representative for the quality. Best of all are the hard working family members and their dedication to treating guests properly and professionally. They really value their guests.

Love this hotel but more like a bed and breakfast. Run by a gracious family, you feel like you at home. The continental breakfast is plentiful. Fresh fruit, fresh yogurt and plenty of bread cheese meat and the best cappuccino’s. Laura’s mother and father serve you and Laura makes the cappuccinos. Laura is always concerned that you are content. We stayed at the spacious apartments. The rest of our group stayed at the hotel. No complaints just great hospitality. Close to everything.

One of our favorite hotels ever, beautiful updated rooms, views of Assisi that can’t be beat, and an incredible family that runs the hotel. The breakfast rivals any fine restaurant, and in the midday when we wanted a bottle of wine and something to snack on, they provided us with a master class plating of meat, cheese, bread, fruit and pastries…. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting. Oh and the location can’t be beat, minutes to the upper city.

Hotel with the best view in Assisi to wake up to and go to sleep with. No need to leave hotels with that relaxing view. Kind and helpful hospitality, good coffee, breakfast, wine etc… rooms with exclusive vintage vibe. It’s my second time here, and I enjoy a lot ❤️

We stayed in the repurposed and renovated Perlasio apartment, built within the walls of a Roman Amphitheatre, a short walk from the main hotel. It was truly a peaceful, restful refuge after 5 days in Rome. Gorgeous gardens, wonderful views, you are surrounded by beauty and history. It is very private, tastefully and thoughtfully renovated. The kitchenette has countertop burners, a microwave oven, fridge, espresso machine, a selection of cooking and dinnerware. The bed is very comfortable, the entire room and bathroom were clean and bright. It is walking distance from a great local bar/café (they make good coffee and pizza in a pinch) and a walkable distance to the main piazza, churches, shops and restaurants of the upper town. There are local buses and taxis easily available if walking is an issue or to get you to and from the lower town and train station. The view from the hotel veranda is exceptional — exquisite — and the coffee is excellent. Hotel staff are friendly, helpful and thankfully, multilingual. If we ever have the opportunity to visit Assisi again, we will definitely return to Hotel Ideale and we would recommend it to others without hesitation.

We were a group of 11 who descended on the idyllic Hotel Ideale. We were welcomed warmly and given many useful tips on bus times and how to get around. Great location — 2 min walk to the bus terminus, 5 min walk into the heart of town, 15 min bus ride to St Mary of the Angels bascilica). We enjoyed tastefully appointed large bedrooms with balconies overlooking the valley below, hearty breakfast, very clean and comfortable!

We found this lovely family owned Hotel on Trip Advisor. I’ve wanted to come to Assisi my whole life and we wanted a good restful location to kick off our trip to Italy. This was the Ideal spot! High up with a view of the whole area, we got the Deluxe Balcony room and as my husband opened the door, the bells of St Chiara started…. Gorgeous, quiet, helpful with all the amenities. Even had AC! The breakfasts are delicious. Service attentive but also give us space. We couldn’t have asked for a better place. Thank you!

Exceeded Expectations (even though I’ve wanted to go to Assisi most of my life and probably had high expectations! ). The staff were helpful and delightful and also gave us the space we needed to rest up for the rest of our journey in Italy. The deluxe balcony is worth it if you desire to soak in the town and prayerful atmosphere. Would definitely return. Great breakfasts (offers of Sweet or Salty). Family owned. Garden, views…. We will return!

This was our second stay at Hotel Ideale. We loved it the first time and this time was even better. We had a queen room with balcony. The views from the balcony and even from the bathroom are majestic. The family that runs the hotel quickly becomes our family. Marco is amazing and will help in any way. He made reservations 3 nights at 3 great places for dinner. This place has our heart and we can't wait to return!

This is one of the best hotels we have stayed in. We received a really warm welcome. We arrived early and they allowed us to park our car while we went for a stroll around Assisi until our rooms were ready.
Our room had two Windows both had spectacular views. Bed was comfy and the room was very clean.
All the staff and the owners were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We had an amazing time.

Our experience at Hotel Ideale in Assisi was amazing. The views from our balcony were breathtaking, particularly the sunsets. The owners were also nothing short of amazing. Marco was so helpful. They were all very friendly, couldnt do more for us. The breakfasts were also amazing, with fresh local food. If you go to Assisi you can't go wrong if you stay there!

My husband and I have had the great pleasure of staying at Hotel Ideale six times over the past eleven years: in 2014 (3 nights), 2016 (6 nights), 2019 (10 nights), 2022 (13 nights), 2023 (13 nights) and May/June 2024. (13 nights). I cannot say enough wonderful things about this beautiful hotel and the delightful family who runs it! The hotel is picturesque. We have loved each of the rooms we have stayed in over our six different visits. (During our first three stays, we were traveling with our then-tween/teen-aged daughter; during our more recent stays my husband and I have traveled alone. ) Our rooms have been quite spacious, especially by European standards. The views from every room have been spectacular. The hotel is located in “upper town” Assisi, and has gorgeous views of the town, the Umbrian countryside, and the mountains in the distance. The terrace (and our room) provided amazing views of the gorgeous sunsets each night.
The hotel is very nicely set away from the busier, more touristy areas of Assisi. That said, we could easily walk to Piazza del Comune within 5 minutes to be in “the thick of the action” whenever we wanted. The hotel is a quick, easy 10 minute walk to the Basilica of St Clare, so it is the perfect place to stay if you want to walk to Mass in the early morning (before the busloads of tourists arrive) and then return to the hotel for the PHENOMENAL breakfast.
Signora Marisa creates the most AMAZING pastries, which are both beautiful and delicious.
