Excellence in every respect! ||The hotel is immaculately clean, bright and modern! All staff is English-speaking, professional and welcoming! Our room was spacious enough to accommodate the family of four. Full of local character, this bed-and-breakfast was remodeled to perfection offering all modern features and amenities. Free convenient parking, wi-fi, extended front-desk hours, late check-in options (not typical with most Italian B&Bs). Although we did not request, our bedding was changed daily. ||Morning breakfast was one of the best we had in Italy, with gourmet cheeses, cold cuts, unlimited espresso drinks. The owner and his wife offered to cook eggs the way we preferred. Freshly-baked pastries and home-baked tarts made with locally-grown fruits were divine! ||The hotel premises are beautiful. The property is surrounded by olive trees the owners are growing. Views from decks and terraces are simply amazing! Unfortunately, we only had two nights and did not take advantage of the beautiful grounds and cozy outdoor lounges. The area is very quite and relaxing. Assisi center is only a short drive away.

Read moreAccepting the region is suffering the aftermath of recent earthquakes and bookings are down, various shortcomings we experienced should not have been occurring were the proprietors more switched on to guests' needs. For example, no hot water until we mentioned it, a temperamental door lock, broken shower holder, etc.||Also, we endorse other reviewers comments about breakfast being demoted to the basement when the ground level dining room allowed spectacular views across the valley. The only explanation would seem to be the downstairs room's adjacency to the kitchen, but with no hot food being served, this simply points to a convenience for the owners, which should surely be overridden by guest enjoyment.||In conclusion, we expect our holiday experience to be better than 'home living' but that wasn't the case at Olivi and we would thus look to 'upgrade' when...
