Villa Raffaello Park Hotel, Assisi

The Villa Raffaello Park Hotel in Assisi presents clean, comfortable accommodation in a building that's full of character, with decorated ceilings in some rooms. Although the air-conditioned rooms are available in a variety of sizes, in this two-star Assisi hotel a double comes with bathroom facilities including a toilet and shower or bath, a hairdryer, television, telephone, mini bar, work desk and safety deposit box.

In addition, the hotel has a dining room where a breakfast buffet is served every morning, a bar, a terrace where you can sit out in the sunshine, as well as private car parking. Services including luggage storage, safety deposit boxes and a front desk that's manned by friendly staff day and night make this the ideal place to stay during your visit to Assisi. This attractive hill-town is world-famous as the birthplace of St Francis, who founded the Franciscan order. After his death, the Basilica of St Francis was built in memory of him and contains frescoes of his life by Giotto as well as the work of other noted artists. Another sight is the Santa Maria degli Angeli cathedral, which was restored after an earthquake in the 19th century. You can also visit San Damiano, where the sister wing of the Franciscan order, the Poor Clares were based when they were first founded.

Out of town, visit nearby Foligno, and the town of Spello, whose 13th-century church, Santa Maria Maggiore, boasts some restored frescoes by Pinturicchio. The capital of Umbria, Perugia also makes a fascinating day trip, and is within easy reach of your Assisi hotel.
