Overlooking Assisi, rich with nature and Franciscan heritage, the presence of La Pila leaves a lasting impression.

La Pila is built for retreats, seminars, and gatherings where nature and the quality of attention shape the experience.

It is a place for deeper connection, meaningful dialogue, and human evolution. People come here to understand themselves and life more deeply and leave with fresh perspectives, renewed energy, and a stronger sense of possibility.

La Pila sits in the hills above Assisi, surrounded by forest, cypress trees, and wide views over the Umbrian landscape. Here you find the luxury that nature gives, enriched by centuries of Franciscan history.

After the passing of Saint Francis, monks came to this hill in search of solitude and silence. The ruins of their monastery remain as a quiet, powerful presence that gives the land a particular spirit.

La Pila is built in relationship to the land
Not From the earth

Built with stone from the land, in continuity with the surrounding nature. Our kitchen is supplied by the on-site garden and local producers where possible.

Shaped by care

Meaningful work, ecology and human connection come together. Family-run, we believe caring means taking responsibility for the world around us.
