If you have any interest at all in the history of Monte Cassino during WW2 you must stay here. Pino, the owner is a gentleman and a scholar and the perfect host. He must surely know more about the Monte Cassino campaigns than anyone else alive. He has turned an interest, unobtrusively, into a museum, a library and an amazing archive. The hotel and rooms are super comfortable and spacious. We had a huge balcony with incredible views of the hilltop monastery. All staff were very helpful and friendly. The location is excellent with good restaurants nearby. Breakfast offered great and filling choices. We are cycle-touring and the team found us a secure, safe place to keep our bikes. I knew that my father had been at Monte Cassino but knew very little else. Pino researched over night and in the morning told me exactly where my father would have been and showed me on a map exactly where. He then pointed me to some detailed accounts of what happened in May 1944 and i have finally learned so much mote about my Dad. It was very moving and I cannot thank Pino enough

Nothing. All 100% good

If anyone is planning to visit Cassino with regards to visiting the WW11 battle sites and the Monastery then this is the hotel for you. The hotel is like a museum concerning the Battle of Monte Cassino and the owner PINO is so knowledgeable and very helpful and friendly with any questions or issues that you put to him. The breakfast was excellent to set you up for your visit to the town. My wife and I will stay at this hotel again if we visit Cassino again in the future.

Nothing that I can really complain about⁷

This property was a last minute booking, as another was logistically further out in the countryside with very little transport. A local I met on the train helped my family from the train station. What we found was a a treasure of history it’s location. The hotel was built by the late father who served in the war effort of capturing mount Cassino 1944. La pace is peace in Italian. The hotel holds a lot of memorabilia from the time. The hotel is frequented by family members who relatives served and perhaps died fighting for mount cassino and the st Benedict’s monastery at the top of the mount. Personal ledgers and written logs with pictures and family history are in the hotel, from various countries around the world. A unique time capsule with walking or bus tours to the rebuilt monastery. There are lots of local shops cafes and eateries, it’s surrounded by the Italian mountains in the countryside, very relaxed and locals with the help of Google translate were very kind and friendly, la pace is an Italian word I adore and is unique in its pronunciation, great rooms, breakfast is a Italian countryside buffet of various delights, a history buffs dream location and stay for knowledge and culture.

We went to Cassino because of a family connection to the battle for Montecassino and this hotel was the perfect place to stay. As others have also said, the host, Pino Valente, is extremely knowledgeable and generous with his time and knowledge. We learned so much in the 2 days (3 nights) we spent there. I should also add that the breakfast was abundant and delicious. All the other staff were also very cheerful and welcoming.

What an experience. We came to revisit where my partner's father served in WWII and couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. Pino, the general manager, gave us HOURS of his time discussing the Allies' participation in the War, the role they played, and Italy's part in the War too. We watched videos and gained invaluable knowledge and insight thanks to this wonderful man and his passion for the history of Cassino. The hotel is fabulously located, with a great view of Montecassino and the Abbey. It's comfortable and spotless, but its true value is in its memorabilia and its informative manager who goes the extra mile. Oh and the breakfast is great too!

Nothing

-La Pace is THE place to stay if you are there for the Battle of Monte Cassino -The owner Pino Valente knows almost everything about the battle, has hundreds of books that you can use and has original pieces like helmets, guns etc in the lobby. -He organizes walking tours -Nice comfortable room with a view on Monte Cassino -Typical Italian breakfast with many cakes but also cheese, ham, hard boiled eggs, yoghurt and toast bread -Very good location close to the road to go up to the monestry -Free parking in front of the door

None, it was the perfect place to start my battle tour !!!

Fabulous location with great view of the Abbey. We were staying as part of a journey to retrace father’s history fighting in battle of Montecassino. Breakfast was wonderful. Quirky hotel with lots of memorabilia from the war. Secure parking for our motorcycle. Close to town, so easy to find food and drink.

Room decor was a little run down and tired. A kettle in the room would be nice.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Pace and would highly recommend it. The hotel is equipped with modern amenities including an elevator and bathroom fixtures. The breakfast was great including eggs, meat, cheese, yogurt and a wide variety of pastries and fruits/juices. Cappuccino and other coffees were brought to the table each morning. The best part of the visit; however, was the wine-and-cheese/pizza presentation of the Battle of Monte Cassino, and owner Pino's personal stories on the impact of the war. His family was hiding in the Benedictine Abbey during the bombing. His passion is to present interesting information and perspectives on the WW2 battle to the current generation. He speaks English well and his staff is very welcoming and helpful. Our visit to La Pace turned out to be the most interesting stop on our Italian vacation.

The most charming place to stay in Monte Cassino. Pino the owner has dedicated himself to promoting a better understanding of the war time history of the town and actively promoting reconciliation and educating local school children. The hotel is a museum ensuring historically important artefacts are displayed and more importantly explained. Do visit Pino and support his great work as part of your stay.

I booked this hotel for my uncle, and it turned out to be excellent value for the money. The place was spotless, the breakfast was decent, and the staff were exceptionally kind and attentive—especially the girl with red hair and Pino, who went above and beyond to ensure a great stay. Highly recommended!
