Il panorama

This property was a last minute booking, as another was logistically further out in the countryside with very little transport. A local I met on the train helped my family from the train station. What we found was a a treasure of history it’s location. The hotel was built by the late father who served in the war effort of capturing mount Cassino 1944. La pace is peace in Italian. The hotel holds a lot of memorabilia from the time. The hotel is frequented by family members who relatives served and perhaps died fighting for mount cassino and the st Benedict’s monastery at the top of the mount. Personal ledgers and written logs with pictures and family history are in the hotel, from various countries around the world. A unique time capsule with walking or bus tours to the rebuilt monastery. There are lots of local shops cafes and eateries, it’s surrounded by the Italian mountains in the countryside, very relaxed and locals with the help of Google translate were very kind and friendly, la pace is an Italian word I adore and is unique in its pronunciation, great rooms, breakfast is a Italian countryside buffet of various delights, a history buffs dream location and stay for knowledge and culture.

The extraordinary knowledge, passion and helpfulness of Pino Valente, the hotel manager, an amateur historian and WW2 enthusiast with all sorts of useful contacts and connections.

Breakfast fare was a little dull - it would have been nice to have a bit more fruit.

People are welcoming , warm and multilingual. Location is just perfect. Hotel is a little historical jewel!

There is nothing not to like!

Very helpful....knowledgable about WW2 and helpful in telling us more about it in the area

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Pace and would highly recommend it. The hotel is equipped with modern amenities including an elevator and bathroom fixtures. The breakfast was great including eggs, meat, cheese, yogurt and a wide variety of pastries and fruits/juices. Cappuccino and other coffees were brought to the table each morning. The best part of the visit; however, was the wine-and-cheese/pizza presentation of the Battle of Monte Cassino, and owner Pino's personal stories on the impact of the war. His family was hiding in the Benedictine Abbey during the bombing. His passion is to present interesting information and perspectives on the WW2 battle to the current generation. He speaks English well and his staff is very welcoming and helpful. Our visit to La Pace turned out to be the most interesting stop on our Italian vacation.

If you're visiting Cassino to explore the battle of Monte Cassino, then this is the very best place to stay. There's lots of memorabilia and books in the hotel to look at, plus Pino, the owner can organize a tailored tour. Loved the breakfast!
