Originally the Franciscan convent of Santa Maria degli Angeli, the Hotel Cenacolo Assisi **** makes for an immediately breathtaking sight as you take in the traditional high walls, large windows and arches surrounding gorgeous courtyard gardens. Masterfully renovated, the old and the new blend perfectly with the original stonework sitting alongside new steel and glass architectural elements. There is a certain celestial quality to the building and grounds that makes you feel immediately at ease.
Walking into the hotel, you are transported back to the modern age, with a stylish and contemporary décor that allows for the full comforts of a 4-star hotel whilst maintaining the same magical atmosphere. Your room is spacious and filled with carefully chosen furnishings and fittings, making it the perfect place to relax and wash off the dust of your historical meanderings through the otherworldly town of Assisi.
A UNESCO World Heritage site, there is certainly no shortage of exploring to be done. A beautiful example of the walled, hilltop towns that this region of Italy is particularly known for, whether you’re looking inwards at the historical buildings and cobbled streets or
outwards towards the Italian countryside plains stretching out all around, you’ll feel the need to pinch yourself once or twice.
St. Francis’s influence is visible everywhere and many a pilgrim comes this way in search of spiritual awakening. However this is the perfect destination for visitors of any motivation and you’ll find yourself joyously immersed in the town’s complete tranquillity and beauty.
