Arriving at La Locanda was a wonderfully warm experience. Manuel met us and immediately came out to help with our luggage. Throughout our stay he couldn't do enough for us. We were treated like old friends. The room was comfortable and spacious, the bathroom spotlessly clean and well appointed with good lighting. We were the only guests that evening but were offered the full dinner menu. It was a rainy and chilly evening and a log fire had been made in the great hearth in the dining room with our table placed in front of it. Our meal was delicious - Italian home cooking at it's best, cooked by Manuel's brother Simone. The same with breakfast the next day - nothing was too much trouble. This family business is a jewel to be prized - a real find and our only regret was that we had only booked the one night prior to returning to Pisa for our flight home. It was a lovely memorable end to our Italian holiday. Thankyou Manuel and family! We hope to return again one day!

I hit my head on the beam at the top of the stairs in our room. Ouch! Other than that everything else was great. The owner did try to talk us into taking a bus, instead of walking all the way, to Gubbio but the walk was much better than he'd described and so we were glad we walked the whole way.
