Hotels in Umbria, well placed for visiting Assisi and Perugia

Corte di Bettona, Bettona

This Bettona hotel is in the centre of this ancient town situated just on the northern edge of the Colli Martani mountain range in Umbria. This lovely little walled town lies just 5km east of Torgiano and 12km south west of Assisi, with the regional capital of Perugia to the north. Bettona is remarkable for its complete circuit of medieval walls, even some of the Etruscan origins still visible. This town really is an undiscovered gem among the fortified towns of Umbria.

The Corte di Bettona was built as a hospital for pilgrims and orphans in the 14th century and has been reborn as a delightful four-star hotel, fully restructured with lift/elevator access to all floors as well as an outdoor pool for the use of guests. Several historical sights are nearby, with the local art gallery and the oratory of San Andrea just a short distance away. The hotel's restaurant is housed in an old olive press, where guests can enjoy the local cuisine on the terrace with stunning views of the countryside.

Each of the 39 rooms is fully air conditioned for your comfort, and all have a room safe. All rooms have en-suite facilities including a shower, toilet and bidet, plus hairdryer. There is a direct modem link and telephone plus a desk for writing postcards or doing some work (if you must!). This hotel in Bettona is a one-off, a delightful way to relax and enjoy this unique town, in the uniquely beautiful Italian region of Umbria.
