If you do not know which hotel to choose in Assisi, read our recommendations for making the best choice, and have an unforgettable experience.

The city of Saint Francis has many hotels, which welcome thousands of guests every year, but how do you choose the best hotel in Assisi?

After having read our tips, you will surely have a clearer idea and will be able to choose the hotel that best suits your needs.

The splendid city of Assisi, perched on the hillside, is certainly one of the most famous places, not only in Italy, but worldwide, thanks especially to Saint Francis, the Patron Saint of Italy.

Tourists and pilgrims that come here want to immerse themselves in the spirituality that imbues the land of the Saint.

Many visitors follow the Via di Francesco (St. Francis’ Way) on foot or by bicycle, to retrace the steps of the Saint for an unforgettable experience. Pilgrims love to see the places where the Saint lived and preached and to pay homage at his tomb in the Basilica Inferiore (Lower Basilica); a moment of prayer and the search for inner peace.

However, Assisi is not just spirituality and religion.

Culture, history and gastronomic specialties mean the city is also loved by those wanting to spend a few days dedicated to eating well and knowledge, while immersed in the peace of green Umbria.

How to choose the best hotel in Assisi

Assisi truly has a lot to offer. This is why understanding how to choose the right hotel for your stay is the first thing to do if you want an unforgettable experience.

Here are the three hotels that we recommend. Just think about your needs in order to understand which is the best one for you.

Travel with the Family

When travelling with children, space and small details are required.

Hotel San Rufino, in the heart of Assisi, is 50 metres from the Duomo di San Rufino (Saint Rufus Cathedral) and is ideal if you are travelling with your family, you want basic accommodation and you pay attention to budget.

Hotel San Rufino is in an excellent location, ideal for visiting the city’s main cultural and religious attractions. The neighbourhood is quiet and welcoming, since it is less frequented by the tourists that normally crowd Assisi.

Breakfast is served in a dedicated room, which can also be used for afternoon snacks, while a half-board or full-board service is offered by the nearby partner restaurant in Hotel La Rocca.

Free Wi-Fi and two car parks complete the services offered; one car park is free of charge the other is at an additional cost, at 100 metres from the hotel.

Food and wine tourism

For those wanting a holiday where they can taste the local cuisine, forget the car and explore on foot, we recommend you choose a hotel with a restaurant serving local dishes, just like Hotel La Rocca.

Hotel La Rocca, which is also located in the historical centre of Assisi, is just 300 metres from Rocca Maggiore (Fortress) and Piazza del Comune (Town Square).

It is the most suitable solution if your only thought is to visit the city and have a hotel where you can eat and rest.

In fact, thanks to its restaurant, Hotel La Rocca offers half-board and full-board services. The restaurant uses top quality local produce, in order to offer its guests delicious, traditional Umbrian dishes. Vegetarian and gluten-free dishes are also available for people with celiac disease and intolerance to gluten.

As well as free Wi-Fi and the possibility to park free of charge or at an additional cost at just a few hundred metres from the hotel, Hotel La Rocca also has a bar/tobacconist where you can taste the best Umbrian wines or have a light lunch and, why not, even get to know the locals.

Hotel La Rocca is also particularly suitable for the disabled, as it is easy to reach and accessible.

Travel with extra comforts

When choosing a hotel in the centre of Assisi, you are hosted in historic buildings, beautiful brick and stone constructions, which have every comfort.

Hotel Il Duomo, which used to be a one-star annex of Hotel San Rufino, has now been fully renovated with the addition of a reception area and breakfast room.

The building is adjacent to Hotel San Rufino and is in a perfect location for visiting the city while staying in a quiet neighbourhood.

This hotel is the best choice to make if you are travelling as a couple and want to stay in a completely renovated structure with a good quality/price ratio and equipped with all comforts.

Breakfast is served in the breakfast room, while half-board and full-board services are offered by the nearby partner restaurant in Hotel La Rocca.

Free parking and parking at an additional cost and free Wi-Fi are available to all of our guests.

All you have to do now is choose

Now that you have all the necessary information, it will surely be easier to understand how to choose the hotel in Assisi that best suits your needs.

Prepare yourselves for an unforgettable experience, characterised by friendliness and hospitality. The Roberti family has managed the hotels for three generations and they will make your stay very special, thanks to their kindness and willingness, which has always distinguished them along with their staff.
