Assisi has three main areas to stay: the historic centre on the hill for atmosphere, Santa Maria degli Angeli in the valley for convenience and lower prices, and the surrounding countryside for a peaceful Umbrian retreat. Here is a practical breakdown of each area with specific hotel recommendations. For a complete overview, see our Assisi travel guide.
Where to Stay in Assisi: Historic Centre
The walled medieval town puts you steps from the basilicas. Hotels are converted monasteries and historic palazzi. Parking is not included (budget EUR 15-20/day in public lots). Prices are highest here, but you save on transport and gain atmosphere. Book 3-4 months ahead for May through October. For more information, see our Assisi weather by month.
