Tucked away, up a short stairwell, behind the bustle of shops near the St Francis Basilica, Hotel Sorella Luna has an immediate charm, fitting for the beautiful historic town. The charming and friendly staff were more than welcoming, considering that our flight to Perugia was diverted to Rome, meaning that we only arrived in Assisi very late, just before reception closed. The room had comforting decor, and faced the main street, allowing for fleeting views over the rooftops to part of the Umbrian landscape. We were greeted by an ample sized bed, a long desk, shelves, hangers, a safe and minibar, and the underfloor heating soothed our feet as we slipped on the complimentary slippers. The bathroom was equipped with a bidet and hairdryer, and a small set of soap, body wash and shower caps. The shower was deliciously warm, especially after a long journey. An important note for many international travellers: you will not find a tea/coffee/kettle set in the rooms, however the minibar was packed with snacks and drinks, which are paid for at the end of your stay. The bed and pillow were comfortable. The mattresses may feel like it is too firm initially, but it is memory foam and it will soften down after a few minutes, so just bear with it and you will sleep like a log. Breakfast is served in a room just outside the main door, up some short steps. The staff were happy to make fresh coffee. A small, but sufficient, selection of items were available each day: scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, bacon, cheese, ham, breads, cereals, croissants, cake/pie, juices and fruit. Note: For those who have gluten intolerance, they also offered a selection of gluten-free items including muesli, biscuits, rice cakes and chocolate wafers. Wi-fi was available throughout the hotel, and the reception area was warm and welcoming, with details of the activities at the main historical sites in the town. Great location, in a charming town. Negatives: this is not the most accessible hotel, as there are stairs up to reception, stairs to the breakfast room, and stairs to almost all rooms. We spotted an accessible entrance on the last day, but did not ask about it. To access the breakfast room, you need to leave the reception and walk outside for just a few seconds, which can be slippery when it is raining, so caution is needed. Important note, not related to the hotel, but as a caution as not everyone will be aware: Assisi itself is not the most accessible town... It has narrow cobble/stone streets, and most roads have an incline. The town is beautiful and charming, but do plan well if you have accessibility needs. If you struggle, but can still tolerate some steps, it is a great hotel to stay in.
