Assissi, known as “the City of Peace,” the birthplace of St. Francis, has long served as a meeting place for world religions.

And it’s hard to imagine a more inspiring location. The mountaintop location on Mount Subasio offers views that define “peaceful.”

The medieval character of the city is still apparent in the white and pink stone structures met throughout the city. At the Basilica of Saint Francis, world-famous frescoes by Giotto depict the saint’s life.

Craftsmen and women still produce the traditional embroidery and white and pink stonework long associated with Assissi. Explore Assissi’s hotels on this page and make a reservation online to take advantage of special web-only rates.
