Assisi, a place of legends

Assisi is a place of legends, where sacred and worldly meet. Here, in a land of saints and mysteries, you can explore medieval towns, hear your footsteps echo down the silent lanes, lose yourself amongst the centuries-old walls of the Rocca Maggiore fortress, and fall in love with the protected natural parks.
With its exquisite cuisine, outstanding hospitality, and profound spirituality, your journey through Umbria is sure to be extraordinary. And that’s partly thanks to the location of our Hotel Valle di Assisi, just 2 minutes from the main road linking all the region’s most beautiful spots: Perugia, Spello, Spoleto, Foligno, Bevagna, and Gubbio.
Why not discover a new one each day?

A treasure a day
