Hotel Porta Nuova

“Lovely view in a wonderful place”

very confortable and warm bedrooms; the local is excelent - just near the portal to the old city; the breakfast is wonderful and all the team working in the hotel treats you as if you are a princess/prince

“Great accommodation at a good price”

We liked the reviews for the Porta Nuova because of several things and we were pleased with it in all areas.

We liked the reviews for the Porta Nuova because of several things and we were pleased with it in all areas. We’d come from Rome, having rented a car at the airport, and since it was our first time driving in Italy we wanted to, 1) avoid driving in Rome, and 2) have a guaranteed secure parking space for the car. The Porta Nuova was easily accessed with parking right outside the door, located just outside the gates of Assisi. Our remodeled main floor room was quiet, clean, air conditioned, comfortably furnished and the valley view was incredible. Breakfast was good but a bit limited. We were given helpful information about sites, churches and mass times at the front desk. We walked. Uphill and down. A lot. We aren’t in great shape but we walked to churches, the basilica of St Francis, the Éremo delle Cárceri- big uphill climb- and restaurants, as well as the castle, the Rocco Maggiore. As we hiked uphill each new view seemed to surpass the last. We were there for 3 nights which was a good length of time to spend in Assisi; overall we were awed by the history, and the peace and spiritual tranquility of Assisi itself as well as in the surrounding region. We left San Damiano and the basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli (and the Poziuncula) for the day we left.

We stayed 4 nights at this hotel and found it to be a good value. We at first were taken to a room on the left side of the hotel. It was small and dated. We were fortunately immediately upgraded to a room on the right side of the hotel which was spacious and recently renovated. Apparently the rooms on the right side of the hotel are the renovated ones. Best get one of the renovated rooms when booking. Breakfast was adequate with standard cereal, pastries, and sweets. There is a coffee machine for coffee or tea. The location is excellent within easy walking distance to the historic center. Some attractions are, however, distant and require taking a bus or taxi. Overall, we would recommend the Porta Nuova especially if you get one of the renovated rooms. The staff is attentive and helpful and we would stay here again.
