When we got the directions from Eric "Irish" the owner and he said to take a left on the "dirt road past the restaurant" I was nervous ... then we arrived and fell in LOVE! This Laconda was like being in HEAVEN. His wife Paola is who I made all my reservations with and she talked me into taking two... more

We stayed at Locanda del Gallo for 3 nights in May to celebrate our Silver wedding. The location is amazing if you want to be in a beautiful peaceful setting and feel as though you are miles from the stresses and strains of the rest of the world. We were the only guests for the three days of our stay.... more

We were made to feel so welcome and at home in a place where the smell of the garden blew softly in through open windows. The rooms are outstanding, the garden and surrounding hills blend seamlessly, we ate well and swam in their salt water pool that hangs over the edge of the garden. Salt water pools are much better... more

This place is everything that previous reviews say it is- beautiful surroundings, very nice rooms, great views, helpful and hard working owners. The breakfasts and dinners were served in a purpose-built small building looking out on the grounds. We had 3 days of rain while we were there, which quashed our sight-seeing (no fault of anyone’s!), but I will say... more

All that has been written in glowing praise of the other reviews was there for real. From the minute of our arrival, the chilled out and friendly nature of the owners and staff was in immediate evidence. Nothing was too much trouble, they went out of their way to assist. The hum of bees in the lavender and cicadas in... more

We have just returned from our fourth visit to the Locanda del Gallo and are already planning our next year's retreat. Add our voices to all the previous reviews, the villa is like no other, the staff is extraordinary, the setting breathtaking, the meals four-star. There is no pretense here, just incredible beauty and the opportunity to slow down and... more

You'll have seen that everyone gives the Locanda del Gallo five stars. There's a reason for this: it is difficult to fault. We stayed for five days before going on to Tuscany, and explored Umbrian hill towns such as Gubbio and Montefalco. We always looked forward to returning to spend time round the wonderful infinity pool, lounge around under the... more

Locanda de Gallo is like heaven on earth. It is the most peaceful place, wonderful views, beautiful rooms and Jimmy is a brilliant cook and a great guy. We stayed there for five nights and did not want to leave! It is really worth a visit .... best place we have ever stayed in. more

We have returned to the Locanda four times over the last four years. It is situated on a hilltop outside Perugia and is an excellent base for exploring the beautiful towns and villages of southern Umbria. It's also a wonderful place for recharging your batteries. The setting is idyllic and there are lovely views over the surrounding wooded hills and... more
