The medieval monastery setting for this upscale spa hotel being a very short walk from Rocca Maggiore, a 13th-century fortification and the very heart of Assisi, is nothing short of astounding.

The refined accommodation includes suites featuring airy decor and period details. Some add loft bedrooms, wall frescoes and/or terraces, as well as city views.

The Nun restaurant is described as ‘a posh eatery’! The spa is without doubt, ‘chic’. Take a health treatment, or lounge in the indoor pool, with hot tubs supported by 6 limestone pillars dating from the first century.
