Stayed for one night as part of a tour. Assisi is twinned with Bethlehem and this was Christmas Day. Aside from the nativity story this hotel fitted perfectly when considering the legend of St Francis (eshewing a rich lifestyle in favour of basic simplicity). Our room in an annexe adjoining the main hotel consisted of a bed, an old, broken-down couch and a shower; clean but bare and in-keeping with the spirit of the town and the day we stayed. Any richness was instead reserved for the beautiful and quite stunning panorama from the hotel veranda, such was its prominent hill-side location. Dinner in the hotel is served in a deep underground cavern; service was erratic (our waiter was charming but haphazard) although the food was tasty and plentiful. The walk into town is short and enjoyable and, for those feeling energetic, there is a hill-top installation that can be reached within around 35-40 minutes, albeit requiring stamina.
