Locanda Francescana

One of the most peaceful hostel stays I’ve ever had. It’s about a 45-minute bus ride from the nearest city, Perugia, but that’s what makes it so charming. It seems like only genuine travellers and pilgrims walking the Camino di San Francesco tend to stay here. I found the staff and the other guests equally polite and respectful. Would love to come back.

A cozy, welcoming hostel in a historic building with a beautiful medieval character. I don't think you can get a budget accommodation that would be more central in the charming town of Valfabbrica. I loved the warmth, the whole building was well-heated - a much appreciated treat for someone traveling in mid November when the outside temperature dropped to just around 10 degrees Centigrade at night. (I stayed again at the beginning of December and the room was not as warm this time round. But I managed - the hot shower made up for a cold-ish room.) The room, bathroom, corridors were all spotless. Another treat was the view from the room. I'm gladly giving the service and the whole place full 5 stars - I got everything that I paid for; the staff were friendly and helpful, and it was overall a restful, enjoyable stay and I will gladly return if my path takes me back here some day. Grazie mille, dear people of Locanda Francescana.

A warm, cozy place in the very heart of Valfabbrica. This place ticked my boxes. The only thing I would love the next time I'm here is a cup of coffee in the morning but it wasn't a problem to walk just around the corner and get it from a nice bar. I understand it's not the high season and not everyone is a coffee soul like me. :) Seriously, I have only nice memories from the place and will come back when I need a great place to spend the night.
