Nestled among the foothills of St. Francis’ beloved Mount Subasio, this 16th century stone farmhouse, once part of a larger castle, has been carefully remodeled into guest apartments which blend historic features and modern amenities. The terra-cotta floors, hand painted tiles, antique and period country furnishings, and beautiful views overlooking the surrounding hills are just some of the features admired by our guests.

Just six kilometers from the medieval hill town of Assisi and within the Mount Subasio Regional Park, the Brigolante farm, owned and worked by the Bagnoli family for more than eight generations, offers both a unique view into Italian rural life and a convenient and comfortable base from which guests can visit the famed nearby towns of Umbria, Tuscany, and the Marches including Orvieto, Spoleto, Gubbio, Perugia, Siena, Florence, San Gimignano, and Urbino and natural sights including Lake Trasimeno, the Marmore Waterfall and the Sibilline Mountain National Park.

Brigolante offers three guest apartments, each with its own distinct personality:
La Loggetta is located on the second floor of the house and offers a small private porch from which guests can enjoy beautiful views of Mount Subasio and the surrounding foothills. A luxurious bathroom with enclosed shower and separate whirlpool bath, and a few furnishings that would delight any antique aficionado complete this charming apartment.

La Stalletta is a cozy, independent annex to the main house, and was renovated with the romantic couple in mind. This apartment features an exposed beam and tile ceiling and direct access to the furnished patio.
Il Focolare is a popular choice among guests who enjoy this apartment's rustic country charm and wood burning fireplace. This apartment is also handicapped accessible.

The Bagnoli family prides itself on its famous Italian hospitality. We welcome our guests to a relaxing and memorable stay in the historic Umbrian hills.

    • We stayed in La Loggetta in early Spring 2004. The apartment is great value, beautifully furnished and equipped, the surrounding countryside is stunning, the hosts are ever helpful but unobtrusive (and the family dogs are especially welcoming if you take them for walks!). The location is ideal for visiting the famous Umbrian hill towns, exploring the beautiful countryside and is a stone's throw from Assisi. We would highly recommend Brigolante.

    • 4/20/04. We stayed for two weeks in La Loggetta during the late autumn of 2003 and have put off writing about our stay because prior guests had already stated the obvious. At that time of the year however, the farm is like the Italian answer to Arcadia. Stand behind the "main house" on a clear morning with no one else around, and you will know what we mean. The landscape and light are remarkably beautiful, almost otherworldly. So if you are looking for an Italian retreat or just a peaceful base in Umbria, we highly recommend this guest house. The owners are charming too. We sorely regretted not speaking Italian, especially because the patriarch of the clan looks like he knows a great deal about the region and seemed to want to communicate also. We miss Indi, the friendly black dog who was our guide and constant companion on the farm. We would have loved to take her home with us, which would have been a cruel fate for Indi, as our place is no comparison to hers. The only caution we have is for people who have rarely driven on country roads. Plan to arrive in daylight on a clear day (remember this is mountainous terrain, which often means fog). The winding dirt road leading to the property is driveable, but it takes some skill and attention. So don't be playing with the radio :-).

    • A+++++. We had a great stay at Brigolante. Located on a working farm outside of Assisi, we found it to be a beautiful location, and a convenient base from which to explore Umbria. The hospitality was amazing, including free farm fresh eggs, local wine, and homemade pasta and pesto from the owner's mother-in-law. These treats were way above and beyond the level of hospitality we expected and were deeply appreciated. The owner is an American ex-pat who speaks english and has an impressive knowledge of the area. In addition to Assisi, we were able to explore Orvieto, Spello, Bevagna, Montefalco, and Gubbio from this location. A great value and an unforgetable experience! Derek Barker, Brooklyn NY

      "Our stay in Umbria was in July 2001. The internet photos of Brigolante looked very nice, but in reality the house as well as the apartment were even more beautiful. Rebecca's kindness and hospitality were really amazing. She supplied us with helpful information and delicious Italian food. So we felt very comfortable and if we visit Umbria again we would be glad if we could get this apartment again." Georg and Astrid Busse, Germany

      "Brigolante has it all... beautiful setting, peaceful location, spacious rooms, gracious, helpful hosts... all these things AND BIG FLUFFY AMERICAN TOWELS!!!! What more could you possible want? Reasonable prices? Farm fresh eggs and anything in the garden you want to pick fresh? A cozy fire with plenty of firewood available? An Italian mother-in-law who sends over a bowl of FRESHLY-MADE pasta? Well, Brigolante has all that too! Even though this is the first rental we have ever done in Italy, I think Brigolante will be the stick I measure all other apartments against. Our apartment, "Il Focolare" is a one bedroom apartment on the ground floor. It's even handicapped-accessible! Once you enter the spacious foyer, just to the left is the huge bathroom with a whirlpool tub, and of course a bidet. And then there are those huge, fluffy, genuine American bath towels! Those waffled dishtowel things are awful! To the right of the foyer, the large room holds the kitchen across the back of the room, and a sofa bed opposite the waist-high fireplace. You can even grill in the fireplace! Our landlord, Rebecca, who is an American married to an Italian, was always there when we needed to ask a question, or two, or three. She helped us out with everything from Where to eat in Trevi to how can we find out about the train schedule to Naples? She was always there, but never in our way. We felt as if we were the only people there, even though there are 2 other aprtments, in-laws, and various aunts and uncles living on Brigolante. The bedroom has a beautiful iron bed, with a queen-sized mattress, and a large armoire with an iron and ironing board hidden inside. There's a washing machine in the kitchen and a clothesline out back.... We look forward to returning to Brigolante one day and do not hesitate to recommend it highly." Art and Barbara Skinner, USA

      "We want you to know that our one-week stay at the Brigolante Guest Apartments was one of the finest experiences in touring that we have ever had. The accommodations at Brigolante were all that we had hoped for, and more. Believe the brochure! ... We have only praise for our accommodations and especially for our host, Rebecca. Our apartment, La Loggetta, was spacious, tastefully furnished, well equipped, and extremely comfortable. The kitchenette is very well thought out. We used it every morning for breakfast and most evenings to prepare a light supper.... While we enjoyed the excellent accommodations at Brigolante, what really made our stay memorable was the hospitality of our host. Upon our arrival we found a large bowl full of walnuts and apples, along with a jar of homemade blackberry preserves and a cruet set with a bottle of their own luscious Umbrian olive oil on the table. Our welcome 'aperitivo' consisted of three delicious home made liqueurs and a grappa, of which we tried all. (The bay liqueur was our favorite.) On other evenings Rebecca presented us with a jar of home made pesto, a ball of fresh mozzarella di bufala, a plate of sliced home made salami and a fresh-from-the-oven loaf of focaccia, made by her mother-in-law. Even apart from this extraordinary generosity, Rebecca was the perfect host. She was very attentive to our needs and full of excellent information about what to see and do and where to eat, yet never overbearing. We looked forward to seeing her once or twice a day as if she were a good friend who lived next door. If ever we decide to visit Umbria again - and we have every intention to do so - we will make every effort to stay at the Brigolante. The location is unbeatable, the accommodations are excellent and Rebecca is simply wonderful." John and Lois Durso, USA

      "We thank you and your husband for the fine week we spent in Umbria. We really enjoyed our stay, the apartment, the dogs, our walks, the salads, the onions, the basilicum, and especially... the fig jam! Mille grazie. È stato molto divertente. Arrivederci." Jos and Mieke Lerou, Holland

      "...We are pleased to be able to speak honestly to you about our Umbrian experience. From day one to day seven, Rebecca was a most charming and helpful host. She welcomed us to the property, made sure that we were comfortable and then gave us advice as we required when we required. As non-Italian speakers we called upon Rebecca's assisitance for train bookings and she was pleased to oblige. The Bagnoli family were also very welcoming to us. Although our Italian speaking skills were limited to about twenty words, we communicated and were treated courteously. ... The accommodation was quite adequate for our needs. The apartment we were in was spacious, the bathroom a joy to come back to after a day's travelling. ...Lesley and I spent some great hours tramping up and around the property, accompanied by the dogs - two ingratiating pups who took it upon themselves to protect us and show us the sights. ...You must have a car to make the most of the stay. (That's not to say you would not have an enjoyable time simply staying at the farm and reading, having walks and relaxing - but we used it as a base for Umbria and a bit of Tuscany) The road/track to the property can be an experience but it only looks and sounds bad.... Assisi is only about ten minutes away (five if you drive like an Italian, fifteen if you are of the quieter school of driving). Other places in easy reach that you shouldn't miss are Gubbio and Norcia. Gubbio is a half day trip, while with Norcia take the whole day and go up to the National Park. Rebecca will tell you about the village up there and she is spot-on. But it does have a shop that sells nice icecreams. We took the train up to Florence and on another day down to Rome. We preferred to drive to the Assisi train station and leave the car there rather than face the fun and lunacy of the autostrada and then finding safe parking. If you get the right train, Florence is okay, but the time we had for Rome wasn't long enough. ... I'm probably going on for too long, but the bottom line is that we'd go back in a flash and stay with Rebecca again if the chance was there - we didn't get to all the places we wanted to and there are others we want to go back to. You might find cheaper accomm, you might find accomm with more faciltities, but as I said - we felt welcome, the accomm was clean, comfortable and well maintained and the Bagnolis were great hosts."

      "Brigolante apartments... the apartment was all as stated. Rebecca is really charming and helpful, always trying to do a nice thing for those she accommodates (i.e. home made salami, pasta, jam, wine, liqueur). As for the apartment it is the most upscale we have encountered, wonderful detail in the way it is finished (1st class bathroom), family heirloom bed... we were surprised to find such quality in a rental. Location... close to town but not too close. We were estatic to find NO NOISE, no noisy people, no noisy dogs (their 2 only bark when a real problem), no noisy highway. We would stay there again without hestation... It's a winner!" Martha Rodriguez, USA

      "My wife and I have travelled to Italy many times and have stayed at a multitude of agrituristicas and farm apartments. I can honestly say that Brigolante was our favorite of the 20+ places we have stayed. The apartment was immaculate, the kitchen well-equipped, and the location ideal for hiking and for day trips to many Umbrian and Tuscan locations. What set it far above the rest was the hospitality of our hosts. Not only was Rebecca attentive to our every need, the extended family was also very cordial and generous. Even the dogs befriended us our first day there! I would highly reccommend Brigolante for anyone requiring a home base in Umbria or Toscana." Jeffrey Ganssle, USA
