Hotel Il Palazzo, Assisi

Situated in the heart of the historic city of Assisi in the region of Umbria - the Hotel Il Palazzo occupies the left wing of the beautiful 16th century Palazzo Bindangoli Bartocci. To this day, the palazzo is inhabited and run by descendents of the palace's original owners, the family Bartocci-Fontana. The building itself is built on the foundations of 13th century shops, inns and storage cellars.

This three-star Assisi hotel has 12 rooms with en suite bathrooms, all individually and beautifully decorated with charming Umbrian antiques such as wrought iron four poster beds and many rooms with the original oak or poplar ceiling beams. The rooms come equipped with minibar, telephone, shower, toilet and TV. Superior rooms overlook the Spoleto Valley. A buffet breakfast is served and the hotel has an elegant cocktail bar and reading room for guests.

Halfway between the Basilica of St Francis and the city's main square, Piazza del Comune, this hotel in Assisi is ideally located for exploring the rest of the city's attractions, from the city's two medieval castles, the 13th century cathedral of St Rufino with its beautiful rose windows and Gothic interior to the many ancient Roman remains, the city walls, the forum, amphitheatre and Temple of Minerva, now the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.

Excursions can also be taken into the lush Umbrian countryside and the nearby province capital of Perugia. This Assisi hotel also boasts its own historical attractions - 18th century 'telari', canvas paintings embedded in the walls, depicted mythological scenes. The nearest international airports are in Rome and Florence.
