San Francesco Hotel

Hotel San Francesco, Loreto, Le Marche. Oct. 19th & 20th, 2022 Hotel type- for business and special occasions. Friendly and efficient staff. Room: comfortable bed, fantastic panoramic view of Santuario della Casa Santa di Loreto.. Onsite parking. Breakfast buffet- good selection of items. Show up early for scrambled eggs. They also have hard boiled eggs if you are late. A plate with sliced cucumbers? Evidently German guests like them with breakfast. The hotel is not too far from Piazza della Madonna, sporting a wonderful dragon fountain, on the way to the Santuario, which has a Brunelleschi style dome. Take Via Vanvitelli up the hill the post office, behind that is a pedestrian vicolo, starting at Porta Romana. Follow that down to Piazza Madonna. Along this pedestrian route you will find restaurants, religious tchotchkes shops, herbalist, aeronautical museum, pasticceria, cafes, hotels and B&Bs and more. Hotel San Francesco is also a good base for a day trip to Recanati, a brick hill town, home of famous poet Giacomo Leopardi. If you are driving, they have the most beautiful parking facility for visitors, Parcheggio Centro Città 2.0.

Bathroom could use a good scrub, especially the shower.

We got there before the check in time and they let us store our suitcases there, and gave us a map to the city and a very good recommendation for a place to have lunch. After the check in we had dinner and drinks and they were all very good. The people working there were very attentive and friendly and we were able to go to the terrace to enjoy the view to the Basilica!

The only downside was that one of our rooms was next to one of the elevators, so every time that someone used it during the night we could hear the loud noise it made when it got to our floor, but out of that it was all perfect!

Nice, friendly, helpful and courteous staff. Spacious rooms compared to italian standards. Fantastic view to the city from our room. Free private parking.

Breakfast was not worthy for a four star hotel, monotonous and very basic, even by italian standards. Wifi was spotty and slow most of the time. Only one(!) usable plug socket in the whole bedroom. The hotel and the rooms are a bit dated, rather three star standard, not four. The hotel is a bit rigid, more flowers and more decor would be appreciated.(I know it was a monastery but still.)

It was so peaceful and the people were also very homey. That is to say, we were treated as if we were in a friends home. The breakfast and dinner were perfect. We slept so well in their beds. The desk woman was like a princess! None of this exaggerated. My mother and I have traveled a lot and were extremely pleased. She wishes she could have stayed longer.

This hotel is situated overlooking Loreto. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast is satisfying. We were within walking distance of all areas we wanted to visit. There is a beautiful terrace at the top with spectacular views. We will definitely be returning.

We loved everything.

The building was impressive, with lovely rooms. We found the staff to be excellent: friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and we had a delicious evening meal on one evening.

It’s probably a personal thing, but we would have liked a kettle in our rooms, so that we could make ourselves an early morning tea or a late night drink.

A very good location, we thought, for visiting Loretta’s Older City and Basilica; A very nice building architecturally; Very pleasant staff; A very good continental breakfast

We thought the air conditioner only cooled the room to lower 70s (maybe 22C)

Best greetings to the people who work here, they are super friendly and helpful. Also rooms are very nice, good choice on the breakfast table and the nice view from the rooms to the hills or a city of Loreto.

Nothing

Location is great for exploring the area. Ait con great and staff really friendly.

Breakfast was a little awkward as it was a buffet behind a counter and you had to ask for everything. Not really very much fruit on offer.

Close to the centre. Nice views (our room was on 3rd floor). Kind and helpful staff. Very good breakfast. Large room. We were there just for 1 night, but this hotel was a good choice!
