St. Francis' Basilica St. Francis' Basilica What you can find inside is a great wonder. Within the Cathedral are two main chapels, a reliquary and tomb. The Upper Chapel contains beautiful 13th century stained glass and numerous frescos. Unfortunately, many of the frescos (designed by Cimabue and Giotto) were severely damaged in the earthquake of 1997. The lower section of the wall depicts the life of St. Francis while the upper section has scenes from the Bible. Within the domes you can see the doctors of the church and the four evangelists. The back of the Cathedral holds scenes of trauma (Christ's death and the Apocalypse) created by Giotto. The Lower Chapel leads to the tomb of St. Francis and his followers. The tomb was built by Francis' disciples immediately after his death. The frescos in the lower chapel are gorgeous, but the lack of light makes the colors and details a bit more difficult to view. You can also enter the reliquary where objects and clothing believed to have belonged to St. Francis. The entire Basilica is something to experience, whether or not you are a religious individual. The artistry of the building makes it worth a visit. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 31/03/2020 One day in Assisi... One day in Assisi... Spending a day in Assisi, Italy, is like stepping back in time. I wandered the winding cobblestone streets uphill and down, looking in shop windows and just soaking in the atmosphere of a medieval city in Europe. While going to Assisi, set your itinerary in a way that you will not waste time searching this large area. If arriving by train or bus start at the Portiuncula, which is located near the train station in the valley, in which St. Clare's inncorrupt body is located inside the Marian Shrine of "Our Lady of the Angels." Here you will find the original small Church which St. Francis first built. There are buses that will transport you to the upper part of Assisi to the enormous Shrine of St. Francis. As you walk through the cobblestone streets you can also find small restaurants where you can stop for refreshments or something to eat. When you enter the Basilica of St. Francis, start at the upper level and work yourself down to the lower level and basement. allow yourself at least 3hrs inside, so as to take in the religious and historic beauty of the medevial church along with the many Masses that may be said here. For the full tour and time here in Assisi give yourself or group at least 6 hrs in total. Assisi is a beautiful, clean town, boasting all the characteristics of the "old world". scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/11/2019 Assisi and the Basilica of Saint Clare Assisi and the Basilica of Saint Clare The Basilica of St. Clare is an outstanding example of Gothic-Italian architecture, built in the second half of the 13th century and perhaps designed by Filippo da Campello. The Basilica is attached to the Church of St. George, in which the body of San Francesco was buried before being transferred to its present location. The construction of Basilica is characterized by three large flying buttresses, which are attached to the left side of the building, while a slender bell-tower with a spire rises up from the apse. The beautiful facade in three orders, decorated by two coloured horizontal bands of stonework, has a beautiful rose window and a portal. The interior, in the form of a Latin cross with a single nave, is simple and bare. A flight of steps leads down to the Crypt where the mortal remains of St. Clare are contained in a glass coffin. In the right transept is a painting depicting St Clare and "Scenes from the Life of St Clare", believed to be by Cimabue. At the side of the Basilica stands the imposing Monastery of the Poor Clares. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 18/08/2019 Assisi Town Hall Square Assisi Town Hall Square Piazza del Comune (the Main Square of the town) is situated at the heart of the town and built on the site of the ancient Roman forum. The square is surrounded by ancient medieval buildings, and a fountain stands in the middle. To the side of the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, a turreted the 13th century building, stands the beautiful Municipal Tower from the 14th century in which the "Bell of Lauds" was placed in 1926. The left side of the Piazza del Comune is closed by the Priors' Palace from 14th century, which nowadays houses the town council offices, and the Municipal Picture Gallery, containing frescoes by the Byzantine, Umbrian and Siennese school, as well as those painted by the followers of Giotto, paintings by Nelli, Alunno and Tiberio d'Assisi. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/04/2020 Calendimaggio Calendimaggio Among the folklore events, the Calendimaggio festival is the most famous. It’s a festival of profane origin, during three days and starting on the first Thursday of May (the second Thursday when the first one is the 1st of May) It’s the celebration of springtime with an explosion of songs, music, and flowers in which all the people of Assisi participate with accurately reproduced medieval period costumes. May 1 marks the official return of Spring. Dating from the pre-Christian times, this "Calends of May" festival revives the town's folklore and historical traditions. Both the citizens and the town are divided into the "Upper" and the "Lower" city and at this annual festival they commemorate old rivalries in medieval costumes. The two ancient medieval wards, the "Parte di Sopra" and the "Parte di Sotto", engage in a spectacular challenge which takes the form of theatre shows, concerts, songs and choruses, dances, processions, archery, crossbow and flag-waving displays. The districts compete in a singing contest among the spectacular floral decorations, flags, torches and candle - all accompanied by the proclamation of the "Queen of Spring" and riotous feasting in the taverns. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 22/10/2019 Assisi: spirituality, religion and art Assisi: spirituality, religion and art The ideal tour covers the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, which houses the small church and the chapel of the Transit Porziuncola of St. Francis, the church of San Damiano, the New Church, the Oratory of San Francesco Piccolino, Cathedral San Rufino, the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, the Basilica of Santa Chiara, and finally the basilicas of St. Francis (Upper and Lower).

Art and culture in Assisi scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 16/11/2019 Art and culture in Assisi Art and culture in Assisi Assisi essential place of interest include art and monuments such as the Rocca Maggiore,Temple of Minerva, Palazzo Capitano del Popolo as well as Roman Amphitheatre.At Rocca Maggiore, you will see earliest record of a building dating back to 1174, when it was erected as a German feudal castle and a place where emperor Frederick II of Swabia was baptized in Assisi at the age of three in 1197. The place is rich in history and a lot more will be learnt on the visit to Rocca Maggiore. Temple of Minerva built in the late republican period in the 1st century BC 'erected by Quatorvirates Gneus Cesius and Titus Cesius Priscu. The monument has a lot to learn. Palazzo Capitano del Popolo monument built between 1212 and 1305 was the first public building to be erected in Piazza del Comune, with a façade of the building containing measures for silk, linen and wool as well as the outlines of bricks and roof tiles used in the building.Roman Amphitheatre monument, one notes the remains of the structure of the 1st century A.D, the elliptical form which can still be recognized in the lay-out of the medieval houses. Art and religion make an important part of Assisi and places to visit.Pope Gregory IX laid the first stone of the lower basilica the day after the canonization of Francis, on July17th 1228. This and more rich history is to be found at the Basilica of St. Francis when one tours Assisi. Basilica of Santa Maria built on a grandiose scale, is the seventh largest Christian church. The chapel was given to St. Francis by the Benedictines,and is important because it was the initial nucleus from which the Franciscan order was born. A lot more to be learnt at the visit of the church. In 1257, construction of St. Clare's Basilica was launched three years after the saint death and a year after she was canonized. The church dedicated to St. Clare's occupied the site of the church of St. Giorgio, where St. Francis had been buried before his remains were removed to the Basilica in 1230. Abbey of St. Pietro was consecrated by pope Innocent IV in 1254 together with St. Francis and St. Rifunus. St. Damians convent where St. Francis was ordered to restore the church in decay by the crucifix. The remaining mentioned religious places are also rich in history that people visiting Assisi can learn a lot from. Beautiful Museums and galleries are also found in Assisi that include the Porziuncola Museum- which is located within Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli and is an integral part of the pilgrim itenary; the Cathedral Museum and Crypt of St. Rufino that was found in 1941 and offers a Secular, Spiritual and Cultural reading of the diocese; Municipal Art Gallery with 14th -17th C. paintings housed in the 17th C. Pallazo Vallemani; Treasure Museum and F.M Perkins Collection with old paintings, ivory amongst other artifacts; and finally the Civic Museum and Roman Forum which exhibits Umbrian and Roman remains mostly tombstones, cinerary urns and inscriptions.. Assisi has more than enough to offer, it has art and tourist attractions such as the Forest of saint Francis-Assisi; along via San Francesco as well as the Park of Mount Subassio.Tourist visit the Calendimaggio which is the Ides of May Festivity. For visitors who love nature, strolling in the Assisi's forest can be a good idea to feel the blend of enjoying nature at a religious environment that the forest and surrounding places offers. Walking along via San Francesco will leave one amazed by what it offers in terms of the oldest buildings seen and rich history of the events that took place there relating to Assisi. The entire historical Centre of Assisi lies within the Park of Mount Subassio. Assisi town was built by rocks that came from the park and over time it (Assisi) has derived all it resources from there. Festives are held in May at Calendimaggio celebrating the return of spring done by groups of young gaudentes who sing, dance and serenade their way through the city streets and squares. The festivals are also linked to the centuries-old rivalry between the ''Parte di Sotto'' and the ''Parte di Sopra'' areas of the city. The two factions in 1300 engaged in a long and bloody struggle for supremacy that lasted for over two centuries. In a two days visit at Assisi, for one to maximize on the things to see and places to visit, it is better to plan in advance so that you can save a lot of time and have fun as a tourist in the place. The first day would work better for one to visit all the artistic monuments that have been discussed above because less time is needed to be spent there. Visiting the religious sights mentioned above, that are considered sacred, would also do well on the first day because less time is needed and taking photos is what most people do. The second day when spent visiting the museums and galleries of Assisi, that require a little more time because of the richness in art and history that they command. The museums and galleries are also not far from each other and so connecting won't be a problem. Other tourist attractions such as the Park and Forest can be visited on the second day. If it happens that you are visiting Assisi on the month of May, you can join the group celebrating the festive and this will be more enjoyable on the second day of the visit, i.e. after you have had a taste of the monuments as well as the sacred and spiritual places that form the source of Assisi's history, therefore doing this on the second day will work perfectly for the visitor. Once is Assisi, buses and taxis are many that can connect people to different places to be visited through out the time and this satisfies most visitors who come to Assisi.How to reach Assisi scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Valtopina (11,2Km) Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Famed for its ancient buildings, sunshine and fine cuisine, Valtopina promises a holiday of peace, quiet and Umbrian hospitality. The nearby hilltop town of Perugia, which dates back to Roman times, looks proudly out across the Spoleto Valley and it is a popular destination with tourists. Book a private guided tour, or wander at your own pace through its jumble of picturesque streets and cobbled alleyways. Explore the walls which date from Perugia's time as a fortified town. Wonder at the spectacle of the central piazza with its medieval palace and visit the impressive Cathedral of San Lorenzo, before resting at the Fontana Maggiore, the elegant, monumental fountain. The third century Etruscan Arch of Augustus remains almost unchanged - the Etruscan Well which supplied the whole town with its water, is thought to date from around the same time. By following a series of steps past walls dripping with water, you can stand on a bridge near the bottom of the well and look into its depths. The summer months can be very hot and humid in Umbria, so spring and autumn are the best times to enjoy a holiday in Valtopina if you prefer a more temperate climate. July is very busy, as Perugia becomes the centre of an international Jazz Festival. October also sees Perugia hosting the popular Eurochocolate Festival, where you can sample a wide variety of chocolates from around the world - an average of 900,000 visitors crowd into the town during the ten days of indulgence. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 08/10/2019 National Archeological Museum of Umbria Perugia (19Km) National Archeological Museum of Umbria During my trip to Umbria, I had the chance to visit many archeological sites and museum. The National Archeological Museum of Perugia left me with a pleasant surprise. This museum is loaded with Etruscan antiquities displayed in a simple manner. The antiquities are remarkable, but the displays are not elaborate. It seems that the budget for this museum was quite limited, but it remains one of my fondest memories of Perugia. In one hallway, Etruscan carved stone urns are lined up with little fanfare; I found this refreshingly unpretentious. The antiquities are all of local origin. Apparently, the rich history of Umbria has provided a bumper crop of ancient artifacts. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/11/2019 Perugia, the home of chocolate Perugia (19Km) Perugia, the home of chocolate Every fall in the Umbrian town of Perugia, there is held a 10-day festival which brings choco-holics from far and wide. The Eurochocolate Festival is an amazing display of chocolate in all forms, from thick hot chocolate infused with liqueurs and pastries filled with chocolate cream, to enormous chocolate bars and chocolate cups filled with alcohol. We were lucky enough to experience the mania during our holiday in Perugia. I'd read prior to our visit that the festival tends to bring out some of the largest crowds the area sees all year, and as soon as we arrived, we found it to be very true. When we exited the train station, it was apparent that most people were headed to the historical center for the festival as well, so we just began to follow the crowd as we all boarded buses for the uphill treck into town. Perugia sits on a hill which is surrounded by valleys on all sides and then other hills past the valleys - so it lends itself to some of the most beautiful scenery, as found by the outlooks on the edges on all sides of the walled city center. It is hard to explain the layout of the city, as some streets are actually underground, while others are painted along a labyrinth of stairways, stone arches, and winding cobblestone alleys - none of which we could tell were straight in any form except the main street through town. We literally shuffled our feet to move with the blob of a crowd through the underground alleyways from the bus stop to the center of town. There were several chocolate companies with displays and exhibits in this area. Finally we emerged back up on the street level - and into the freezing temperatures. Quickly we wrapped up our faces in our scarves and I slipped on my gloves as we took a deep breath and plunged back into the dense crowd and headed straight for the ciccolata calda (hot chocolate) stand. This is a must-see festival for any chocolate-lover. If you'd rather avoid the huge crowds, maybe try a weekday instead of the weekend, but everyday of the party will hold fun for all ages. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/11/2019 Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia Perugia (19Km) Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia I was walking up along Corso Garibaldi, which itself was obscure and lonely enough, when I caught sight of the sign which pointed to this park. So I heeded it, and after two tiny lanes and through an iron gate, I ended up in paradise! The Parco di Ponte San Angelo is a very well-hidden gem in Perugia. Unlike the noisy and tourist filled park at Piazza Italia, here you can have the whole place to yourself. And the view is a fierce competitor to that at Piazza Italia. Here, instead of seeing Assisi, you get a great view of the Perugian plains, including a lovely faraway hill, one of the "legs" of the star shaped Perugia, with countless charming houses on it. There are adequate benches and even a nearby WC. To get to the park, from Piazza Fortebraccio, head uphill along Corso Garibaldi about 300 meters uphill you will see the sign that directs you to the park. Then you're just one minute away! scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 08/04/2020 Accommodation All (80) Farm house (20) B&B (5) Campings (1) Hotels (53) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel Alexander Assisi HOTEL FRATE SOLE Assisi COUNTRY HOUSE PRO VOBIS Assisi CASTELLO DI PETRATA Assisi ALBERGO DEL VIAGGIATORE Assisi Hotel Minerva Assisi Hotel Properzio Assisi Hotel Trattoria Pallotta Assisi Hotel Dei Priori Assisi Hotel Posta Panoramic Assisi Hotel Lieto Soggiorno Assisi Hotel Il Castello Assisi Hotel La Fortezza Assisi Hotel Sole Assisi Hotel Il Palazzo Assisi Hotel Porta Nuova Assisi Hotel Da Rina Assisi Hotel San Francesco Assisi Albergo La Rocca Assisi Hotel JFI Hermitage Assisi Hotel San Rufino Assisi Hotel Fontebella Assisi Hotel Umbra Assisi Hotel San Giacomo Assisi Country House Tre Esse Assisi Nun Assisi Relais & Spa Museum Assisi The Relais Nun is located in the spiritual heart of Assisi, in the highest part of the historical centre with magnificent views of the both the Rocca Maggiore and Minore on the soft contours of Mount Subasio.

What you can find inside is a great wonder. Within the Cathedral are two main chapels, a reliquary and tomb. The Upper Chapel contains beautiful 13th century stained glass and numerous frescos. Unfortunately, many of the frescos (designed by Cimabue and Giotto) were severely damaged in the earthquake of 1997. The lower section of the wall depicts the life of St. Francis while the upper section has scenes from the Bible. Within the domes you can see the doctors of the church and the four evangelists. The back of the Cathedral holds scenes of trauma (Christ's death and the Apocalypse) created by Giotto. The Lower Chapel leads to the tomb of St. Francis and his followers. The tomb was built by Francis' disciples immediately after his death. The frescos in the lower chapel are gorgeous, but the lack of light makes the colors and details a bit more difficult to view. You can also enter the reliquary where objects and clothing believed to have belonged to St. Francis. The entire Basilica is something to experience, whether or not you are a religious individual. The artistry of the building makes it worth a visit.
One day in Assisi... One day in Assisi... Spending a day in Assisi, Italy, is like stepping back in time. I wandered the winding cobblestone streets uphill and down, looking in shop windows and just soaking in the atmosphere of a medieval city in Europe.

When you enter the Basilica of St. Francis, start at the upper level and work yourself down to the lower level and basement. allow yourself at least 3hrs inside, so as to take in the religious and historic beauty of the medevial church along with the many Masses that may be said here. For the full tour and time here in Assisi give yourself or group at least 6 hrs in total. Assisi is a beautiful, clean town, boasting all the characteristics of the "old world". scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/11/2019 Assisi and the Basilica of Saint Clare Assisi and the Basilica of Saint Clare The Basilica of St. Clare is an outstanding example of Gothic-Italian architecture, built in the second half of the 13th century and perhaps designed by Filippo da Campello.

The beautiful facade in three orders, decorated by two coloured horizontal bands of stonework, has a beautiful rose window and a portal. The interior, in the form of a Latin cross with a single nave, is simple and bare. A flight of steps leads down to the Crypt where the mortal remains of St. Clare are contained in a glass coffin. In the right transept is a painting depicting St Clare and "Scenes from the Life of St Clare", believed to be by Cimabue. At the side of the Basilica stands the imposing Monastery of the Poor Clares. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 18/08/2019 Assisi Town Hall Square Assisi Town Hall Square Piazza del Comune (the Main Square of the town) is situated at the heart of the town and built on the site of the ancient Roman forum.

It’s a festival of profane origin, during three days and starting on the first Thursday of May (the second Thursday when the first one is the 1st of May) It’s the celebration of springtime with an explosion of songs, music, and flowers in which all the people of Assisi participate with accurately reproduced medieval period costumes. May 1 marks the official return of Spring. Dating from the pre-Christian times, this "Calends of May" festival revives the town's folklore and historical traditions. Both the citizens and the town are divided into the "Upper" and the "Lower" city and at this annual festival they commemorate old rivalries in medieval costumes. The two ancient medieval wards, the "Parte di Sopra" and the "Parte di Sotto", engage in a spectacular challenge which takes the form of theatre shows, concerts, songs and choruses, dances, processions, archery, crossbow and flag-waving displays. The districts compete in a singing contest among the spectacular floral decorations, flags, torches and candle - all accompanied by the proclamation of the "Queen of Spring" and riotous feasting in the taverns. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 22/10/2019 Assisi: spirituality, religion and art Assisi: spirituality, religion and art The ideal tour covers the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, which houses the small church and the chapel of the Transit Porziuncola of St. Francis, the church of San Damiano, the New Church, the Oratory of San Francesco Piccolino, Cathedral San Rufino, the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, the Basilica of Santa Chiara, and finally the basilicas of St. Francis (Upper and Lower).

The entire historical Centre of Assisi lies within the Park of Mount Subassio. Assisi town was built by rocks that came from the park and over time it (Assisi) has derived all it resources from there. Festives are held in May at Calendimaggio celebrating the return of spring done by groups of young gaudentes who sing, dance and serenade their way through the city streets and squares. The festivals are also linked to the centuries-old rivalry between the ''Parte di Sotto'' and the ''Parte di Sopra'' areas of the city. The two factions in 1300 engaged in a long and bloody struggle for supremacy that lasted for over two centuries. In a two days visit at Assisi, for one to maximize on the things to see and places to visit, it is better to plan in advance so that you can save a lot of time and have fun as a tourist in the place. The first day would work better for one to visit all the artistic monuments that have been discussed above because less time is needed to be spent there. Visiting the religious sights mentioned above, that are considered sacred, would also do well on the first day because less time is needed and taking photos is what most people do. The second day when spent visiting the museums and galleries of Assisi, that require a little more time because of the richness in art and history that they command. The museums and galleries are also not far from each other and so connecting won't be a problem. Other tourist attractions such as the Park and Forest can be visited on the second day. If it happens that you are visiting Assisi on the month of May, you can join the group celebrating the festive and this will be more enjoyable on the second day of the visit, i.e. after you have had a taste of the monuments as well as the sacred and spiritual places that form the source of Assisi's history, therefore doing this on the second day will work perfectly for the visitor. Once is Assisi, buses and taxis are many that can connect people to different places to be visited through out the time and this satisfies most visitors who come to Assisi.How to reach Assisi scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Valtopina (11,2Km) Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Famed for its ancient buildings, sunshine and fine cuisine, Valtopina promises a holiday of peace, quiet and Umbrian hospitality. The nearby hilltop town of Perugia, which dates back to Roman times, looks proudly out across the Spoleto Valley and it is a popular destination with tourists. Book a private guided tour, or wander at your own pace through its jumble of picturesque streets and cobbled alleyways. Explore the walls which date from Perugia's time as a fortified town. Wonder at the spectacle of the central piazza with its medieval palace and visit the impressive Cathedral of San Lorenzo, before resting at the Fontana Maggiore, the elegant, monumental fountain. The third century Etruscan Arch of Augustus remains almost unchanged - the Etruscan Well which supplied the whole town with its water, is thought to date from around the same time. By following a series of steps past walls dripping with water, you can stand on a bridge near the bottom of the well and look into its depths. The summer months can be very hot and humid in Umbria, so spring and autumn are the best times to enjoy a holiday in Valtopina if you prefer a more temperate climate. July is very busy, as Perugia becomes the centre of an international Jazz Festival. October also sees Perugia hosting the popular Eurochocolate Festival, where you can sample a wide variety of chocolates from around the world - an average of 900,000 visitors crowd into the town during the ten days of indulgence. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 08/10/2019 National Archeological Museum of Umbria Perugia (19Km) National Archeological Museum of Umbria During my trip to Umbria, I had the chance to visit many archeological sites and museum. The National Archeological Museum of Perugia left me with a pleasant surprise. This museum is loaded with Etruscan antiquities displayed in a simple manner. The antiquities are remarkable, but the displays are not elaborate. It seems that the budget for this museum was quite limited, but it remains one of my fondest memories of Perugia. In one hallway, Etruscan carved stone urns are lined up with little fanfare; I found this refreshingly unpretentious. The antiquities are all of local origin. Apparently, the rich history of Umbria has provided a bumper crop of ancient artifacts. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/11/2019 Perugia, the home of chocolate Perugia (19Km) Perugia, the home of chocolate Every fall in the Umbrian town of Perugia, there is held a 10-day festival which brings choco-holics from far and wide. The Eurochocolate Festival is an amazing display of chocolate in all forms, from thick hot chocolate infused with liqueurs and pastries filled with chocolate cream, to enormous chocolate bars and chocolate cups filled with alcohol. We were lucky enough to experience the mania during our holiday in Perugia. I'd read prior to our visit that the festival tends to bring out some of the largest crowds the area sees all year, and as soon as we arrived, we found it to be very true. When we exited the train station, it was apparent that most people were headed to the historical center for the festival as well, so we just began to follow the crowd as we all boarded buses for the uphill treck into town. Perugia sits on a hill which is surrounded by valleys on all sides and then other hills past the valleys - so it lends itself to some of the most beautiful scenery, as found by the outlooks on the edges on all sides of the walled city center. It is hard to explain the layout of the city, as some streets are actually underground, while others are painted along a labyrinth of stairways, stone arches, and winding cobblestone alleys - none of which we could tell were straight in any form except the main street through town. We literally shuffled our feet to move with the blob of a crowd through the underground alleyways from the bus stop to the center of town. There were several chocolate companies with displays and exhibits in this area. Finally we emerged back up on the street level - and into the freezing temperatures. Quickly we wrapped up our faces in our scarves and I slipped on my gloves as we took a deep breath and plunged back into the dense crowd and headed straight for the ciccolata calda (hot chocolate) stand. This is a must-see festival for any chocolate-lover. If you'd rather avoid the huge crowds, maybe try a weekday instead of the weekend, but everyday of the party will hold fun for all ages. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/11/2019 Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia Perugia (19Km) Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia I was walking up along Corso Garibaldi, which itself was obscure and lonely enough, when I caught sight of the sign which pointed to this park. So I heeded it, and after two tiny lanes and through an iron gate, I ended up in paradise! The Parco di Ponte San Angelo is a very well-hidden gem in Perugia. Unlike the noisy and tourist filled park at Piazza Italia, here you can have the whole place to yourself. And the view is a fierce competitor to that at Piazza Italia. Here, instead of seeing Assisi, you get a great view of the Perugian plains, including a lovely faraway hill, one of the "legs" of the star shaped Perugia, with countless charming houses on it. There are adequate benches and even a nearby WC. To get to the park, from Piazza Fortebraccio, head uphill along Corso Garibaldi about 300 meters uphill you will see the sign that directs you to the park. Then you're just one minute away! scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 08/04/2020 Accommodation All (80) Farm house (20) B&B (5) Campings (1) Hotels (53) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel Alexander Assisi HOTEL FRATE SOLE Assisi COUNTRY HOUSE PRO VOBIS Assisi CASTELLO DI PETRATA Assisi ALBERGO DEL VIAGGIATORE Assisi Hotel Minerva Assisi Hotel Properzio Assisi Hotel Trattoria Pallotta Assisi Hotel Dei Priori Assisi Hotel Posta Panoramic Assisi Hotel Lieto Soggiorno Assisi Hotel Il Castello Assisi Hotel La Fortezza Assisi Hotel Sole Assisi Hotel Il Palazzo Assisi Hotel Porta Nuova Assisi Hotel Da Rina Assisi Hotel San Francesco Assisi Albergo La Rocca Assisi Hotel JFI Hermitage Assisi Hotel San Rufino Assisi Hotel Fontebella Assisi Hotel Umbra Assisi Hotel San Giacomo Assisi Country House Tre Esse Assisi Nun Assisi Relais & Spa Museum Assisi The Relais Nun is located in the spiritual heart of Assisi, in the highest part of the historical centre with magnificent views of the both the Rocca Maggiore and Minore on the soft contours of Mount Subasio.

Spending a day in Assisi, Italy, is like stepping back in time. I wandered the winding cobblestone streets uphill and down, looking in shop windows and just soaking in the atmosphere of a medieval city in Europe. While going to Assisi, set your itinerary in a way that you will not waste time searching this large area. If arriving by train or bus start at the Portiuncula, which is located near the train station in the valley, in which St. Clare's inncorrupt body is located inside the Marian Shrine of "Our Lady of the Angels." Here you will find the original small Church which St. Francis first built. There are buses that will transport you to the upper part of Assisi to the enormous Shrine of St. Francis. As you walk through the cobblestone streets you can also find small restaurants where you can stop for refreshments or something to eat. When you enter the Basilica of St. Francis, start at the upper level and work yourself down to the lower level and basement. allow yourself at least 3hrs inside, so as to take in the religious and historic beauty of the medevial church along with the many Masses that may be said here. For the full tour and time here in Assisi give yourself or group at least 6 hrs in total. Assisi is a beautiful, clean town, boasting all the characteristics of the "old world".
Assisi and the Basilica of Saint Clare Assisi and the Basilica of Saint Clare The Basilica of St. Clare is an outstanding example of Gothic-Italian architecture, built in the second half of the 13th century and perhaps designed by Filippo da Campello. The Basilica is attached to the Church of St. George, in which the body of San Francesco was buried before being transferred to its present location. The construction of Basilica is characterized by three large flying buttresses, which are attached to the left side of the building, while a slender bell-tower with a spire rises up from the apse. The beautiful facade in three orders, decorated by two coloured horizontal bands of stonework, has a beautiful rose window and a portal. The interior, in the form of a Latin cross with a single nave, is simple and bare. A flight of steps leads down to the Crypt where the mortal remains of St. Clare are contained in a glass coffin. In the right transept is a painting depicting St Clare and "Scenes from the Life of St Clare", believed to be by Cimabue. At the side of the Basilica stands the imposing Monastery of the Poor Clares. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 18/08/2019 Assisi Town Hall Square Assisi Town Hall Square Piazza del Comune (the Main Square of the town) is situated at the heart of the town and built on the site of the ancient Roman forum. The square is surrounded by ancient medieval buildings, and a fountain stands in the middle. To the side of the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, a turreted the 13th century building, stands the beautiful Municipal Tower from the 14th century in which the "Bell of Lauds" was placed in 1926. The left side of the Piazza del Comune is closed by the Priors' Palace from 14th century, which nowadays houses the town council offices, and the Municipal Picture Gallery, containing frescoes by the Byzantine, Umbrian and Siennese school, as well as those painted by the followers of Giotto, paintings by Nelli, Alunno and Tiberio d'Assisi. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/04/2020 Calendimaggio Calendimaggio Among the folklore events, the Calendimaggio festival is the most famous. It’s a festival of profane origin, during three days and starting on the first Thursday of May (the second Thursday when the first one is the 1st of May) It’s the celebration of springtime with an explosion of songs, music, and flowers in which all the people of Assisi participate with accurately reproduced medieval period costumes. May 1 marks the official return of Spring. Dating from the pre-Christian times, this "Calends of May" festival revives the town's folklore and historical traditions. Both the citizens and the town are divided into the "Upper" and the "Lower" city and at this annual festival they commemorate old rivalries in medieval costumes. The two ancient medieval wards, the "Parte di Sopra" and the "Parte di Sotto", engage in a spectacular challenge which takes the form of theatre shows, concerts, songs and choruses, dances, processions, archery, crossbow and flag-waving displays. The districts compete in a singing contest among the spectacular floral decorations, flags, torches and candle - all accompanied by the proclamation of the "Queen of Spring" and riotous feasting in the taverns. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 22/10/2019 Assisi: spirituality, religion and art Assisi: spirituality, religion and art The ideal tour covers the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, which houses the small church and the chapel of the Transit Porziuncola of St. Francis, the church of San Damiano, the New Church, the Oratory of San Francesco Piccolino, Cathedral San Rufino, the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, the Basilica of Santa Chiara, and finally the basilicas of St. Francis (Upper and Lower). A short distance from the walls of Assisi, in Mount Subasio, you can visit the Hermitage of the Carceri, where St. Francis retired in prayer. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/10/2019 How to reach the sacred Assisi How to reach the sacred Assisi Assisi is a small Umbrian town in central Italy, located 12 miles East of Perugia at an elevation of 1,300 feet. Assisi is best known as the birthplace of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of Italy, the founder of the Franciscan order, and one of the most popular catholic saints in history. Assisi's main attraction is the 13th century Basilica of San Francesco, which contains the sacred brelics of St. Francis and beautiful frescoes of his life. In Assisi town, there are at least seven other churches well worth visiting for their history, beauty, and connection with St. Francis.The town of Assisi, with its Roman ruins, winding medieval streets and sacred shrines, has been a major catholic pilgrimage destination for centuries and is today one of the most popular tourist destination in Italy. About four to five million visitors throng the town each year as tourists to see for themselves what Assisi has to offer. Assisi's great sites has made it worth visiting.

Say you are coming from the South, the main line between Rome and Ancona has a station at Foligno (on the branch line to Spello, Assisi, Perugia, and Lake Trasimene), so coming from Rome, take one of the nine daily trains on the line to Ancona, stop at Foligno (approximate time is between 1hr., 40 min-2 hr.),where you can transfer to a Perugia-bound train taking between 10 and 15 minutes.

Art and culture in Assisi scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 16/11/2019 Art and culture in Assisi Art and culture in Assisi Assisi essential place of interest include art and monuments such as the Rocca Maggiore,Temple of Minerva, Palazzo Capitano del Popolo as well as Roman Amphitheatre.At Rocca Maggiore, you will see earliest record of a building dating back to 1174, when it was erected as a German feudal castle and a place where emperor Frederick II of Swabia was baptized in Assisi at the age of three in 1197. The place is rich in history and a lot more will be learnt on the visit to Rocca Maggiore. Temple of Minerva built in the late republican period in the 1st century BC 'erected by Quatorvirates Gneus Cesius and Titus Cesius Priscu. The monument has a lot to learn. Palazzo Capitano del Popolo monument built between 1212 and 1305 was the first public building to be erected in Piazza del Comune, with a façade of the building containing measures for silk, linen and wool as well as the outlines of bricks and roof tiles used in the building.Roman Amphitheatre monument, one notes the remains of the structure of the 1st century A.D, the elliptical form which can still be recognized in the lay-out of the medieval houses. Art and religion make an important part of Assisi and places to visit.Pope Gregory IX laid the first stone of the lower basilica the day after the canonization of Francis, on July17th 1228. This and more rich history is to be found at the Basilica of St. Francis when one tours Assisi. Basilica of Santa Maria built on a grandiose scale, is the seventh largest Christian church. The chapel was given to St. Francis by the Benedictines,and is important because it was the initial nucleus from which the Franciscan order was born. A lot more to be learnt at the visit of the church. In 1257, construction of St. Clare's Basilica was launched three years after the saint death and a year after she was canonized. The church dedicated to St. Clare's occupied the site of the church of St. Giorgio, where St. Francis had been buried before his remains were removed to the Basilica in 1230. Abbey of St. Pietro was consecrated by pope Innocent IV in 1254 together with St. Francis and St. Rifunus. St. Damians convent where St. Francis was ordered to restore the church in decay by the crucifix. The remaining mentioned religious places are also rich in history that people visiting Assisi can learn a lot from. Beautiful Museums and galleries are also found in Assisi that include the Porziuncola Museum- which is located within Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli and is an integral part of the pilgrim itenary; the Cathedral Museum and Crypt of St. Rufino that was found in 1941 and offers a Secular, Spiritual and Cultural reading of the diocese; Municipal Art Gallery with 14th -17th C. paintings housed in the 17th C. Pallazo Vallemani; Treasure Museum and F.M Perkins Collection with old paintings, ivory amongst other artifacts; and finally the Civic Museum and Roman Forum which exhibits Umbrian and Roman remains mostly tombstones, cinerary urns and inscriptions.. Assisi has more than enough to offer, it has art and tourist attractions such as the Forest of saint Francis-Assisi; along via San Francesco as well as the Park of Mount Subassio.Tourist visit the Calendimaggio which is the Ides of May Festivity. For visitors who love nature, strolling in the Assisi's forest can be a good idea to feel the blend of enjoying nature at a religious environment that the forest and surrounding places offers. Walking along via San Francesco will leave one amazed by what it offers in terms of the oldest buildings seen and rich history of the events that took place there relating to Assisi. The entire historical Centre of Assisi lies within the Park of Mount Subassio. Assisi town was built by rocks that came from the park and over time it (Assisi) has derived all it resources from there. Festives are held in May at Calendimaggio celebrating the return of spring done by groups of young gaudentes who sing, dance and serenade their way through the city streets and squares. The festivals are also linked to the centuries-old rivalry between the ''Parte di Sotto'' and the ''Parte di Sopra'' areas of the city. The two factions in 1300 engaged in a long and bloody struggle for supremacy that lasted for over two centuries. In a two days visit at Assisi, for one to maximize on the things to see and places to visit, it is better to plan in advance so that you can save a lot of time and have fun as a tourist in the place. The first day would work better for one to visit all the artistic monuments that have been discussed above because less time is needed to be spent there. Visiting the religious sights mentioned above, that are considered sacred, would also do well on the first day because less time is needed and taking photos is what most people do. The second day when spent visiting the museums and galleries of Assisi, that require a little more time because of the richness in art and history that they command. The museums and galleries are also not far from each other and so connecting won't be a problem. Other tourist attractions such as the Park and Forest can be visited on the second day. If it happens that you are visiting Assisi on the month of May, you can join the group celebrating the festive and this will be more enjoyable on the second day of the visit, i.e. after you have had a taste of the monuments as well as the sacred and spiritual places that form the source of Assisi's history, therefore doing this on the second day will work perfectly for the visitor. Once is Assisi, buses and taxis are many that can connect people to different places to be visited through out the time and this satisfies most visitors who come to Assisi.How to reach Assisi scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Valtopina (11,2Km) Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Famed for its ancient buildings, sunshine and fine cuisine, Valtopina promises a holiday of peace, quiet and Umbrian hospitality. The nearby hilltop town of Perugia, which dates back to Roman times, looks proudly out across the Spoleto Valley and it is a popular destination with tourists. Book a private guided tour, or wander at your own pace through its jumble of picturesque streets and cobbled alleyways. Explore the walls which date from Perugia's time as a fortified town. Wonder at the spectacle of the central piazza with its medieval palace and visit the impressive Cathedral of San Lorenzo, before resting at the Fontana Maggiore, the elegant, monumental fountain. The third century Etruscan Arch of Augustus remains almost unchanged - the Etruscan Well which supplied the whole town with its water, is thought to date from around the same time. By following a series of steps past walls dripping with water, you can stand on a bridge near the bottom of the well and look into its depths. The summer months can be very hot and humid in Umbria, so spring and autumn are the best times to enjoy a holiday in Valtopina if you prefer a more temperate climate. July is very busy, as Perugia becomes the centre of an international Jazz Festival. October also sees Perugia hosting the popular Eurochocolate Festival, where you can sample a wide variety of chocolates from around the world - an average of 900,000 visitors crowd into the town during the ten days of indulgence. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 08/10/2019 National Archeological Museum of Umbria Perugia (19Km) National Archeological Museum of Umbria During my trip to Umbria, I had the chance to visit many archeological sites and museum. The National Archeological Museum of Perugia left me with a pleasant surprise. This museum is loaded with Etruscan antiquities displayed in a simple manner. The antiquities are remarkable, but the displays are not elaborate. It seems that the budget for this museum was quite limited, but it remains one of my fondest memories of Perugia. In one hallway, Etruscan carved stone urns are lined up with little fanfare; I found this refreshingly unpretentious. The antiquities are all of local origin. Apparently, the rich history of Umbria has provided a bumper crop of ancient artifacts. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/11/2019 Perugia, the home of chocolate Perugia (19Km) Perugia, the home of chocolate Every fall in the Umbrian town of Perugia, there is held a 10-day festival which brings choco-holics from far and wide. The Eurochocolate Festival is an amazing display of chocolate in all forms, from thick hot chocolate infused with liqueurs and pastries filled with chocolate cream, to enormous chocolate bars and chocolate cups filled with alcohol. We were lucky enough to experience the mania during our holiday in Perugia. I'd read prior to our visit that the festival tends to bring out some of the largest crowds the area sees all year, and as soon as we arrived, we found it to be very true. When we exited the train station, it was apparent that most people were headed to the historical center for the festival as well, so we just began to follow the crowd as we all boarded buses for the uphill treck into town. Perugia sits on a hill which is surrounded by valleys on all sides and then other hills past the valleys - so it lends itself to some of the most beautiful scenery, as found by the outlooks on the edges on all sides of the walled city center. It is hard to explain the layout of the city, as some streets are actually underground, while others are painted along a labyrinth of stairways, stone arches, and winding cobblestone alleys - none of which we could tell were straight in any form except the main street through town. We literally shuffled our feet to move with the blob of a crowd through the underground alleyways from the bus stop to the center of town. There were several chocolate companies with displays and exhibits in this area. Finally we emerged back up on the street level - and into the freezing temperatures. Quickly we wrapped up our faces in our scarves and I slipped on my gloves as we took a deep breath and plunged back into the dense crowd and headed straight for the ciccolata calda (hot chocolate) stand. This is a must-see festival for any chocolate-lover. If you'd rather avoid the huge crowds, maybe try a weekday instead of the weekend, but everyday of the party will hold fun for all ages. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/11/2019 Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia Perugia (19Km) Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia I was walking up along Corso Garibaldi, which itself was obscure and lonely enough, when I caught sight of the sign which pointed to this park. So I heeded it, and after two tiny lanes and through an iron gate, I ended up in paradise! The Parco di Ponte San Angelo is a very well-hidden gem in Perugia. Unlike the noisy and tourist filled park at Piazza Italia, here you can have the whole place to yourself. And the view is a fierce competitor to that at Piazza Italia. Here, instead of seeing Assisi, you get a great view of the Perugian plains, including a lovely faraway hill, one of the "legs" of the star shaped Perugia, with countless charming houses on it. There are adequate benches and even a nearby WC. To get to the park, from Piazza Fortebraccio, head uphill along Corso Garibaldi about 300 meters uphill you will see the sign that directs you to the park. Then you're just one minute away! scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 08/04/2020 Accommodation All (80) Farm house (20) B&B (5) Campings (1) Hotels (53) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel Alexander Assisi HOTEL FRATE SOLE Assisi COUNTRY HOUSE PRO VOBIS Assisi CASTELLO DI PETRATA Assisi ALBERGO DEL VIAGGIATORE Assisi Hotel Minerva Assisi Hotel Properzio Assisi Hotel Trattoria Pallotta Assisi Hotel Dei Priori Assisi Hotel Posta Panoramic Assisi Hotel Lieto Soggiorno Assisi Hotel Il Castello Assisi Hotel La Fortezza Assisi Hotel Sole Assisi Hotel Il Palazzo Assisi Hotel Porta Nuova Assisi Hotel Da Rina Assisi Hotel San Francesco Assisi Albergo La Rocca Assisi Hotel JFI Hermitage Assisi Hotel San Rufino Assisi Hotel Fontebella Assisi Hotel Umbra Assisi Hotel San Giacomo Assisi Country House Tre Esse Assisi Nun Assisi Relais & Spa Museum Assisi The Relais Nun is located in the spiritual heart of Assisi, in the highest part of the historical centre with magnificent views of the both the Rocca Maggiore and Minore on the soft contours of Mount Subasio.

It’s a festival of profane origin, during three days and starting on the first Thursday of May (the second Thursday when the first one is the 1st of May) It’s the celebration of springtime with an explosion of songs, music, and flowers in which all the people of Assisi participate with accurately reproduced medieval period costumes. May 1 marks the official return of Spring. Dating from the pre-Christian times, this "Calends of May" festival revives the town's folklore and historical traditions. Both the citizens and the town are divided into the "Upper" and the "Lower" city and at this annual festival they commemorate old rivalries in medieval costumes. The two ancient medieval wards, the "Parte di Sopra" and the "Parte di Sotto", engage in a spectacular challenge which takes the form of theatre shows, concerts, songs and choruses, dances, processions, archery, crossbow and flag-waving displays. The districts compete in a singing contest among the spectacular floral decorations, flags, torches and candle - all accompanied by the proclamation of the "Queen of Spring" and riotous feasting in the taverns. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 22/10/2019 Assisi: spirituality, religion and art Assisi: spirituality, religion and art The ideal tour covers the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, which houses the small church and the chapel of the Transit Porziuncola of St. Francis, the church of San Damiano, the New Church, the Oratory of San Francesco Piccolino, Cathedral San Rufino, the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, the Basilica of Santa Chiara, and finally the basilicas of St. Francis (Upper and Lower).

Assisi town was built by rocks that came from the park and over time it (Assisi) has derived all it resources from there. Festives are held in May at Calendimaggio celebrating the return of spring done by groups of young gaudentes who sing, dance and serenade their way through the city streets and squares. The festivals are also linked to the centuries-old rivalry between the ''Parte di Sotto'' and the ''Parte di Sopra'' areas of the city. The two factions in 1300 engaged in a long and bloody struggle for supremacy that lasted for over two centuries. In a two days visit at Assisi, for one to maximize on the things to see and places to visit, it is better to plan in advance so that you can save a lot of time and have fun as a tourist in the place. The first day would work better for one to visit all the artistic monuments that have been discussed above because less time is needed to be spent there. Visiting the religious sights mentioned above, that are considered sacred, would also do well on the first day because less time is needed and taking photos is what most people do. The second day when spent visiting the museums and galleries of Assisi, that require a little more time because of the richness in art and history that they command. The museums and galleries are also not far from each other and so connecting won't be a problem. Other tourist attractions such as the Park and Forest can be visited on the second day. If it happens that you are visiting Assisi on the month of May, you can join the group celebrating the festive and this will be more enjoyable on the second day of the visit, i.e. after you have had a taste of the monuments as well as the sacred and spiritual places that form the source of Assisi's history, therefore doing this on the second day will work perfectly for the visitor. Once is Assisi, buses and taxis are many that can connect people to different places to be visited through out the time and this satisfies most visitors who come to Assisi.How to reach Assisi scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Valtopina (11,2Km) Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Famed for its ancient buildings, sunshine and fine cuisine, Valtopina promises a holiday of peace, quiet and Umbrian hospitality. The nearby hilltop town of Perugia, which dates back to Roman times, looks proudly out across the Spoleto Valley and it is a popular destination with tourists. Book a private guided tour, or wander at your own pace through its jumble of picturesque streets and cobbled alleyways. Explore the walls which date from Perugia's time as a fortified town. Wonder at the spectacle of the central piazza with its medieval palace and visit the impressive Cathedral of San Lorenzo, before resting at the Fontana Maggiore, the elegant, monumental fountain. The third century Etruscan Arch of Augustus remains almost unchanged - the Etruscan Well which supplied the whole town with its water, is thought to date from around the same time. By following a series of steps past walls dripping with water, you can stand on a bridge near the bottom of the well and look into its depths. The summer months can be very hot and humid in Umbria, so spring and autumn are the best times to enjoy a holiday in Valtopina if you prefer a more temperate climate. July is very busy, as Perugia becomes the centre of an international Jazz Festival. October also sees Perugia hosting the popular Eurochocolate Festival, where you can sample a wide variety of chocolates from around the world - an average of 900,000 visitors crowd into the town during the ten days of indulgence. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 08/10/2019 National Archeological Museum of Umbria Perugia (19Km) National Archeological Museum of Umbria During my trip to Umbria, I had the chance to visit many archeological sites and museum. The National Archeological Museum of Perugia left me with a pleasant surprise. This museum is loaded with Etruscan antiquities displayed in a simple manner. The antiquities are remarkable, but the displays are not elaborate. It seems that the budget for this museum was quite limited, but it remains one of my fondest memories of Perugia. In one hallway, Etruscan carved stone urns are lined up with little fanfare; I found this refreshingly unpretentious. The antiquities are all of local origin. Apparently, the rich history of Umbria has provided a bumper crop of ancient artifacts. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/11/2019 Perugia, the home of chocolate Perugia (19Km) Perugia, the home of chocolate Every fall in the Umbrian town of Perugia, there is held a 10-day festival which brings choco-holics from far and wide. The Eurochocolate Festival is an amazing display of chocolate in all forms, from thick hot chocolate infused with liqueurs and pastries filled with chocolate cream, to enormous chocolate bars and chocolate cups filled with alcohol. We were lucky enough to experience the mania during our holiday in Perugia. I'd read prior to our visit that the festival tends to bring out some of the largest crowds the area sees all year, and as soon as we arrived, we found it to be very true. When we exited the train station, it was apparent that most people were headed to the historical center for the festival as well, so we just began to follow the crowd as we all boarded buses for the uphill treck into town. Perugia sits on a hill which is surrounded by valleys on all sides and then other hills past the valleys - so it lends itself to some of the most beautiful scenery, as found by the outlooks on the edges on all sides of the walled city center. It is hard to explain the layout of the city, as some streets are actually underground, while others are painted along a labyrinth of stairways, stone arches, and winding cobblestone alleys - none of which we could tell were straight in any form except the main street through town. We literally shuffled our feet to move with the blob of a crowd through the underground alleyways from the bus stop to the center of town. There were several chocolate companies with displays and exhibits in this area. Finally we emerged back up on the street level - and into the freezing temperatures. Quickly we wrapped up our faces in our scarves and I slipped on my gloves as we took a deep breath and plunged back into the dense crowd and headed straight for the ciccolata calda (hot chocolate) stand. This is a must-see festival for any chocolate-lover. If you'd rather avoid the huge crowds, maybe try a weekday instead of the weekend, but everyday of the party will hold fun for all ages. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/11/2019 Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia Perugia (19Km) Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia I was walking up along Corso Garibaldi, which itself was obscure and lonely enough, when I caught sight of the sign which pointed to this park. So I heeded it, and after two tiny lanes and through an iron gate, I ended up in paradise! The Parco di Ponte San Angelo is a very well-hidden gem in Perugia. Unlike the noisy and tourist filled park at Piazza Italia, here you can have the whole place to yourself. And the view is a fierce competitor to that at Piazza Italia. Here, instead of seeing Assisi, you get a great view of the Perugian plains, including a lovely faraway hill, one of the "legs" of the star shaped Perugia, with countless charming houses on it. There are adequate benches and even a nearby WC. To get to the park, from Piazza Fortebraccio, head uphill along Corso Garibaldi about 300 meters uphill you will see the sign that directs you to the park. Then you're just one minute away! scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 08/04/2020 Accommodation All (80) Farm house (20) B&B (5) Campings (1) Hotels (53) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel Alexander Assisi HOTEL FRATE SOLE Assisi COUNTRY HOUSE PRO VOBIS Assisi CASTELLO DI PETRATA Assisi ALBERGO DEL VIAGGIATORE Assisi Hotel Minerva Assisi Hotel Properzio Assisi Hotel Trattoria Pallotta Assisi Hotel Dei Priori Assisi Hotel Posta Panoramic Assisi Hotel Lieto Soggiorno Assisi Hotel Il Castello Assisi Hotel La Fortezza Assisi Hotel Sole Assisi Hotel Il Palazzo Assisi Hotel Porta Nuova Assisi Hotel Da Rina Assisi Hotel San Francesco Assisi Albergo La Rocca Assisi Hotel JFI Hermitage Assisi Hotel San Rufino Assisi Hotel Fontebella Assisi Hotel Umbra Assisi Hotel San Giacomo Assisi Country House Tre Esse Assisi Nun Assisi Relais & Spa Museum Assisi The Relais Nun is located in the spiritual heart of Assisi, in the highest part of the historical centre with magnificent views of the both the Rocca Maggiore and Minore on the soft contours of Mount Subasio.

Calendimaggio Calendimaggio Among the folklore events, the Calendimaggio festival is the most famous. It’s a festival of profane origin, during three days and starting on the first Thursday of May (the second Thursday when the first one is the 1st of May) It’s the celebration of springtime with an explosion of songs, music, and flowers in which all the people of Assisi participate with accurately reproduced medieval period costumes. May 1 marks the official return of Spring. Dating from the pre-Christian times, this "Calends of May" festival revives the town's folklore and historical traditions. Both the citizens and the town are divided into the "Upper" and the "Lower" city and at this annual festival they commemorate old rivalries in medieval costumes. The two ancient medieval wards, the "Parte di Sopra" and the "Parte di Sotto", engage in a spectacular challenge which takes the form of theatre shows, concerts, songs and choruses, dances, processions, archery, crossbow and flag-waving displays. The districts compete in a singing contest among the spectacular floral decorations, flags, torches and candle - all accompanied by the proclamation of the "Queen of Spring" and riotous feasting in the taverns. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 22/10/2019 Assisi: spirituality, religion and art Assisi: spirituality, religion and art The ideal tour covers the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, which houses the small church and the chapel of the Transit Porziuncola of St. Francis, the church of San Damiano, the New Church, the Oratory of San Francesco Piccolino, Cathedral San Rufino, the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, the Basilica of Santa Chiara, and finally the basilicas of St. Francis (Upper and Lower).

Art and culture in Assisi scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 16/11/2019 Art and culture in Assisi Art and culture in Assisi Assisi essential place of interest include art and monuments such as the Rocca Maggiore,Temple of Minerva, Palazzo Capitano del Popolo as well as Roman Amphitheatre.At Rocca Maggiore, you will see earliest record of a building dating back to 1174, when it was erected as a German feudal castle and a place where emperor Frederick II of Swabia was baptized in Assisi at the age of three in 1197. The place is rich in history and a lot more will be learnt on the visit to Rocca Maggiore. Temple of Minerva built in the late republican period in the 1st century BC 'erected by Quatorvirates Gneus Cesius and Titus Cesius Priscu. The monument has a lot to learn. Palazzo Capitano del Popolo monument built between 1212 and 1305 was the first public building to be erected in Piazza del Comune, with a façade of the building containing measures for silk, linen and wool as well as the outlines of bricks and roof tiles used in the building.Roman Amphitheatre monument, one notes the remains of the structure of the 1st century A.D, the elliptical form which can still be recognized in the lay-out of the medieval houses. Art and religion make an important part of Assisi and places to visit.Pope Gregory IX laid the first stone of the lower basilica the day after the canonization of Francis, on July17th 1228. This and more rich history is to be found at the Basilica of St. Francis when one tours Assisi. Basilica of Santa Maria built on a grandiose scale, is the seventh largest Christian church. The chapel was given to St. Francis by the Benedictines,and is important because it was the initial nucleus from which the Franciscan order was born. A lot more to be learnt at the visit of the church. In 1257, construction of St. Clare's Basilica was launched three years after the saint death and a year after she was canonized. The church dedicated to St. Clare's occupied the site of the church of St. Giorgio, where St. Francis had been buried before his remains were removed to the Basilica in 1230. Abbey of St. Pietro was consecrated by pope Innocent IV in 1254 together with St. Francis and St. Rifunus. St. Damians convent where St. Francis was ordered to restore the church in decay by the crucifix. The remaining mentioned religious places are also rich in history that people visiting Assisi can learn a lot from. Beautiful Museums and galleries are also found in Assisi that include the Porziuncola Museum- which is located within Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli and is an integral part of the pilgrim itenary; the Cathedral Museum and Crypt of St. Rufino that was found in 1941 and offers a Secular, Spiritual and Cultural reading of the diocese; Municipal Art Gallery with 14th -17th C. paintings housed in the 17th C. Pallazo Vallemani; Treasure Museum and F.M Perkins Collection with old paintings, ivory amongst other artifacts; and finally the Civic Museum and Roman Forum which exhibits Umbrian and Roman remains mostly tombstones, cinerary urns and inscriptions.. Assisi has more than enough to offer, it has art and tourist attractions such as the Forest of saint Francis-Assisi; along via San Francesco as well as the Park of Mount Subassio.Tourist visit the Calendimaggio which is the Ides of May Festivity. For visitors who love nature, strolling in the Assisi's forest can be a good idea to feel the blend of enjoying nature at a religious environment that the forest and surrounding places offers. Walking along via San Francesco will leave one amazed by what it offers in terms of the oldest buildings seen and rich history of the events that took place there relating to Assisi. The entire historical Centre of Assisi lies within the Park of Mount Subassio. Assisi town was built by rocks that came from the park and over time it (Assisi) has derived all it resources from there. Festives are held in May at Calendimaggio celebrating the return of spring done by groups of young gaudentes who sing, dance and serenade their way through the city streets and squares. The festivals are also linked to the centuries-old rivalry between the ''Parte di Sotto'' and the ''Parte di Sopra'' areas of the city. The two factions in 1300 engaged in a long and bloody struggle for supremacy that lasted for over two centuries. In a two days visit at Assisi, for one to maximize on the things to see and places to visit, it is better to plan in advance so that you can save a lot of time and have fun as a tourist in the place. The first day would work better for one to visit all the artistic monuments that have been discussed above because less time is needed to be spent there. Visiting the religious sights mentioned above, that are considered sacred, would also do well on the first day because less time is needed and taking photos is what most people do. The second day when spent visiting the museums and galleries of Assisi, that require a little more time because of the richness in art and history that they command. The museums and galleries are also not far from each other and so connecting won't be a problem. Other tourist attractions such as the Park and Forest can be visited on the second day. If it happens that you are visiting Assisi on the month of May, you can join the group celebrating the festive and this will be more enjoyable on the second day of the visit, i.e. after you have had a taste of the monuments as well as the sacred and spiritual places that form the source of Assisi's history, therefore doing this on the second day will work perfectly for the visitor. Once is Assisi, buses and taxis are many that can connect people to different places to be visited through out the time and this satisfies most visitors who come to Assisi.How to reach Assisi scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Valtopina (11,2Km) Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Famed for its ancient buildings, sunshine and fine cuisine, Valtopina promises a holiday of peace, quiet and Umbrian hospitality. The nearby hilltop town of Perugia, which dates back to Roman times, looks proudly out across the Spoleto Valley and it is a popular destination with tourists. Book a private guided tour, or wander at your own pace through its jumble of picturesque streets and cobbled alleyways. Explore the walls which date from Perugia's time as a fortified town. Wonder at the spectacle of the central piazza with its medieval palace and visit the impressive Cathedral of San Lorenzo, before resting at the Fontana Maggiore, the elegant, monumental fountain. The third century Etruscan Arch of Augustus remains almost unchanged - the Etruscan Well which supplied the whole town with its water, is thought to date from around the same time. By following a series of steps past walls dripping with water, you can stand on a bridge near the bottom of the well and look into its depths. The summer months can be very hot and humid in Umbria, so spring and autumn are the best times to enjoy a holiday in Valtopina if you prefer a more temperate climate. July is very busy, as Perugia becomes the centre of an international Jazz Festival. October also sees Perugia hosting the popular Eurochocolate Festival, where you can sample a wide variety of chocolates from around the world - an average of 900,000 visitors crowd into the town during the ten days of indulgence. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 08/10/2019 National Archeological Museum of Umbria Perugia (19Km) National Archeological Museum of Umbria During my trip to Umbria, I had the chance to visit many archeological sites and museum. The National Archeological Museum of Perugia left me with a pleasant surprise. This museum is loaded with Etruscan antiquities displayed in a simple manner. The antiquities are remarkable, but the displays are not elaborate. It seems that the budget for this museum was quite limited, but it remains one of my fondest memories of Perugia. In one hallway, Etruscan carved stone urns are lined up with little fanfare; I found this refreshingly unpretentious. The antiquities are all of local origin. Apparently, the rich history of Umbria has provided a bumper crop of ancient artifacts. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/11/2019 Perugia, the home of chocolate Perugia (19Km) Perugia, the home of chocolate Every fall in the Umbrian town of Perugia, there is held a 10-day festival which brings choco-holics from far and wide. The Eurochocolate Festival is an amazing display of chocolate in all forms, from thick hot chocolate infused with liqueurs and pastries filled with chocolate cream, to enormous chocolate bars and chocolate cups filled with alcohol. We were lucky enough to experience the mania during our holiday in Perugia. I'd read prior to our visit that the festival tends to bring out some of the largest crowds the area sees all year, and as soon as we arrived, we found it to be very true. When we exited the train station, it was apparent that most people were headed to the historical center for the festival as well, so we just began to follow the crowd as we all boarded buses for the uphill treck into town. Perugia sits on a hill which is surrounded by valleys on all sides and then other hills past the valleys - so it lends itself to some of the most beautiful scenery, as found by the outlooks on the edges on all sides of the walled city center. It is hard to explain the layout of the city, as some streets are actually underground, while others are painted along a labyrinth of stairways, stone arches, and winding cobblestone alleys - none of which we could tell were straight in any form except the main street through town. We literally shuffled our feet to move with the blob of a crowd through the underground alleyways from the bus stop to the center of town. There were several chocolate companies with displays and exhibits in this area. Finally we emerged back up on the street level - and into the freezing temperatures. Quickly we wrapped up our faces in our scarves and I slipped on my gloves as we took a deep breath and plunged back into the dense crowd and headed straight for the ciccolata calda (hot chocolate) stand. This is a must-see festival for any chocolate-lover. If you'd rather avoid the huge crowds, maybe try a weekday instead of the weekend, but everyday of the party will hold fun for all ages. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/11/2019 Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia Perugia (19Km) Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia I was walking up along Corso Garibaldi, which itself was obscure and lonely enough, when I caught sight of the sign which pointed to this park. So I heeded it, and after two tiny lanes and through an iron gate, I ended up in paradise! The Parco di Ponte San Angelo is a very well-hidden gem in Perugia. Unlike the noisy and tourist filled park at Piazza Italia, here you can have the whole place to yourself. And the view is a fierce competitor to that at Piazza Italia. Here, instead of seeing Assisi, you get a great view of the Perugian plains, including a lovely faraway hill, one of the "legs" of the star shaped Perugia, with countless charming houses on it. There are adequate benches and even a nearby WC. To get to the park, from Piazza Fortebraccio, head uphill along Corso Garibaldi about 300 meters uphill you will see the sign that directs you to the park. Then you're just one minute away! scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 08/04/2020 Accommodation All (80) Farm house (20) B&B (5) Campings (1) Hotels (53) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel Alexander Assisi HOTEL FRATE SOLE Assisi COUNTRY HOUSE PRO VOBIS Assisi CASTELLO DI PETRATA Assisi ALBERGO DEL VIAGGIATORE Assisi Hotel Minerva Assisi Hotel Properzio Assisi Hotel Trattoria Pallotta Assisi Hotel Dei Priori Assisi Hotel Posta Panoramic Assisi Hotel Lieto Soggiorno Assisi Hotel Il Castello Assisi Hotel La Fortezza Assisi Hotel Sole Assisi Hotel Il Palazzo Assisi Hotel Porta Nuova Assisi Hotel Da Rina Assisi Hotel San Francesco Assisi Albergo La Rocca Assisi Hotel JFI Hermitage Assisi Hotel San Rufino Assisi Hotel Fontebella Assisi Hotel Umbra Assisi Hotel San Giacomo Assisi Country House Tre Esse Assisi Nun Assisi Relais & Spa Museum Assisi The Relais Nun is located in the spiritual heart of Assisi, in the highest part of the historical centre with magnificent views of the both the Rocca Maggiore and Minore on the soft contours of Mount Subasio.

Among the folklore events, the Calendimaggio festival is the most famous. It’s a festival of profane origin, during three days and starting on the first Thursday of May (the second Thursday when the first one is the 1st of May) It’s the celebration of springtime with an explosion of songs, music, and flowers in which all the people of Assisi participate with accurately reproduced medieval period costumes. May 1 marks the official return of Spring. Dating from the pre-Christian times, this "Calends of May" festival revives the town's folklore and historical traditions. Both the citizens and the town are divided into the "Upper" and the "Lower" city and at this annual festival they commemorate old rivalries in medieval costumes. The two ancient medieval wards, the "Parte di Sopra" and the "Parte di Sotto", engage in a spectacular challenge which takes the form of theatre shows, concerts, songs and choruses, dances, processions, archery, crossbow and flag-waving displays. The districts compete in a singing contest among the spectacular floral decorations, flags, torches and candle - all accompanied by the proclamation of the "Queen of Spring" and riotous feasting in the taverns.

The place is rich in history and a lot more will be learnt on the visit to Rocca Maggiore. Temple of Minerva built in the late republican period in the 1st century BC 'erected by Quatorvirates Gneus Cesius and Titus Cesius Priscu. The monument has a lot to learn. Palazzo Capitano del Popolo monument built between 1212 and 1305 was the first public building to be erected in Piazza del Comune, with a façade of the building containing measures for silk, linen and wool as well as the outlines of bricks and roof tiles used in the building.Roman Amphitheatre monument, one notes the remains of the structure of the 1st century A.D, the elliptical form which can still be recognized in the lay-out of the medieval houses. Art and religion make an important part of Assisi and places to visit.Pope Gregory IX laid the first stone of the lower basilica the day after the canonization of Francis, on July17th 1228. This and more rich history is to be found at the Basilica of St. Francis when one tours Assisi. Basilica of Santa Maria built on a grandiose scale, is the seventh largest Christian church. The chapel was given to St. Francis by the Benedictines,and is important because it was the initial nucleus from which the Franciscan order was born. A lot more to be learnt at the visit of the church. In 1257, construction of St. Clare's Basilica was launched three years after the saint death and a year after she was canonized.

Assisi has more than enough to offer, it has art and tourist attractions such as the Forest of saint Francis-Assisi; along via San Francesco as well as the Park of Mount Subassio.Tourist visit the Calendimaggio which is the Ides of May Festivity. For visitors who love nature, strolling in the Assisi's forest can be a good idea to feel the blend of enjoying nature at a religious environment that the forest and surrounding places offers. Walking along via San Francesco will leave one amazed by what it offers in terms of the oldest buildings seen and rich history of the events that took place there relating to Assisi. The entire historical Centre of Assisi lies within the Park of Mount Subassio. Assisi town was built by rocks that came from the park and over time it (Assisi) has derived all it resources from there. Festives are held in May at Calendimaggio celebrating the return of spring done by groups of young gaudentes who sing, dance and serenade their way through the city streets and squares. The festivals are also linked to the centuries-old rivalry between the ''Parte di Sotto'' and the ''Parte di Sopra'' areas of the city. The two factions in 1300 engaged in a long and bloody struggle for supremacy that lasted for over two centuries. In a two days visit at Assisi, for one to maximize on the things to see and places to visit, it is better to plan in advance so that you can save a lot of time and have fun as a tourist in the place. The first day would work better for one to visit all the artistic monuments that have been discussed above because less time is needed to be spent there. Visiting the religious sights mentioned above, that are considered sacred, would also do well on the first day because less time is needed and taking photos is what most people do. The second day when spent visiting the museums and galleries of Assisi, that require a little more time because of the richness in art and history that they command. The museums and galleries are also not far from each other and so connecting won't be a problem. Other tourist attractions such as the Park and Forest can be visited on the second day. If it happens that you are visiting Assisi on the month of May, you can join the group celebrating the festive and this will be more enjoyable on the second day of the visit, i.e. after you have had a taste of the monuments as well as the sacred and spiritual places that form the source of Assisi's history, therefore doing this on the second day will work perfectly for the visitor. Once is Assisi, buses and taxis are many that can connect people to different places to be visited through out the time and this satisfies most visitors who come to Assisi.How to reach Assisi scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Valtopina (11,2Km) Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Famed for its ancient buildings, sunshine and fine cuisine, Valtopina promises a holiday of peace, quiet and Umbrian hospitality. The nearby hilltop town of Perugia, which dates back to Roman times, looks proudly out across the Spoleto Valley and it is a popular destination with tourists. Book a private guided tour, or wander at your own pace through its jumble of picturesque streets and cobbled alleyways. Explore the walls which date from Perugia's time as a fortified town. Wonder at the spectacle of the central piazza with its medieval palace and visit the impressive Cathedral of San Lorenzo, before resting at the Fontana Maggiore, the elegant, monumental fountain. The third century Etruscan Arch of Augustus remains almost unchanged - the Etruscan Well which supplied the whole town with its water, is thought to date from around the same time. By following a series of steps past walls dripping with water, you can stand on a bridge near the bottom of the well and look into its depths. The summer months can be very hot and humid in Umbria, so spring and autumn are the best times to enjoy a holiday in Valtopina if you prefer a more temperate climate.

The National Archeological Museum of Perugia left me with a pleasant surprise. This museum is loaded with Etruscan antiquities displayed in a simple manner. The antiquities are remarkable, but the displays are not elaborate. It seems that the budget for this museum was quite limited, but it remains one of my fondest memories of Perugia. In one hallway, Etruscan carved stone urns are lined up with little fanfare; I found this refreshingly unpretentious. The antiquities are all of local origin. Apparently, the rich history of Umbria has provided a bumper crop of ancient artifacts. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/11/2019 Perugia, the home of chocolate Perugia (19Km) Perugia, the home of chocolate Every fall in the Umbrian town of Perugia, there is held a 10-day festival which brings choco-holics from far and wide. The Eurochocolate Festival is an amazing display of chocolate in all forms, from thick hot chocolate infused with liqueurs and pastries filled with chocolate cream, to enormous chocolate bars and chocolate cups filled with alcohol. We were lucky enough to experience the mania during our holiday in Perugia. I'd read prior to our visit that the festival tends to bring out some of the largest crowds the area sees all year, and as soon as we arrived, we found it to be very true. When we exited the train station, it was apparent that most people were headed to the historical center for the festival as well, so we just began to follow the crowd as we all boarded buses for the uphill treck into town. Perugia sits on a hill which is surrounded by valleys on all sides and then other hills past the valleys - so it lends itself to some of the most beautiful scenery, as found by the outlooks on the edges on all sides of the walled city center. It is hard to explain the layout of the city, as some streets are actually underground, while others are painted along a labyrinth of stairways, stone arches, and winding cobblestone alleys - none of which we could tell were straight in any form except the main street through town. We literally shuffled our feet to move with the blob of a crowd through the underground alleyways from the bus stop to the center of town. There were several chocolate companies with displays and exhibits in this area. Finally we emerged back up on the street level - and into the freezing temperatures. Quickly we wrapped up our faces in our scarves and I slipped on my gloves as we took a deep breath and plunged back into the dense crowd and headed straight for the ciccolata calda (hot chocolate) stand. This is a must-see festival for any chocolate-lover. If you'd rather avoid the huge crowds, maybe try a weekday instead of the weekend, but everyday of the party will hold fun for all ages. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/11/2019 Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia Perugia (19Km) Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia I was walking up along Corso Garibaldi, which itself was obscure and lonely enough, when I caught sight of the sign which pointed to this park. So I heeded it, and after two tiny lanes and through an iron gate, I ended up in paradise! The Parco di Ponte San Angelo is a very well-hidden gem in Perugia. Unlike the noisy and tourist filled park at Piazza Italia, here you can have the whole place to yourself. And the view is a fierce competitor to that at Piazza Italia. Here, instead of seeing Assisi, you get a great view of the Perugian plains, including a lovely faraway hill, one of the "legs" of the star shaped Perugia, with countless charming houses on it. There are adequate benches and even a nearby WC. To get to the park, from Piazza Fortebraccio, head uphill along Corso Garibaldi about 300 meters uphill you will see the sign that directs you to the park. Then you're just one minute away! scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 08/04/2020 Accommodation All (80) Farm house (20) B&B (5) Campings (1) Hotels (53) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel Alexander Assisi HOTEL FRATE SOLE Assisi COUNTRY HOUSE PRO VOBIS Assisi CASTELLO DI PETRATA Assisi ALBERGO DEL VIAGGIATORE Assisi Hotel Minerva Assisi Hotel Properzio Assisi Hotel Trattoria Pallotta Assisi Hotel Dei Priori Assisi Hotel Posta Panoramic Assisi Hotel Lieto Soggiorno Assisi Hotel Il Castello Assisi Hotel La Fortezza Assisi Hotel Sole Assisi Hotel Il Palazzo Assisi Hotel Porta Nuova Assisi Hotel Da Rina Assisi Hotel San Francesco Assisi Albergo La Rocca Assisi Hotel JFI Hermitage Assisi Hotel San Rufino Assisi Hotel Fontebella Assisi Hotel Umbra Assisi Hotel San Giacomo Assisi Country House Tre Esse Assisi Nun Assisi Relais & Spa Museum Assisi The Relais Nun is located in the spiritual heart of Assisi, in the highest part of the historical centre with magnificent views of the both the Rocca Maggiore and Minore on the soft contours of Mount Subasio.

Art and culture in Assisi scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 16/11/2019 Art and culture in Assisi Art and culture in Assisi Assisi essential place of interest include art and monuments such as the Rocca Maggiore,Temple of Minerva, Palazzo Capitano del Popolo as well as Roman Amphitheatre.At Rocca Maggiore, you will see earliest record of a building dating back to 1174, when it was erected as a German feudal castle and a place where emperor Frederick II of Swabia was baptized in Assisi at the age of three in 1197. The place is rich in history and a lot more will be learnt on the visit to Rocca Maggiore. Temple of Minerva built in the late republican period in the 1st century BC 'erected by Quatorvirates Gneus Cesius and Titus Cesius Priscu. The monument has a lot to learn. Palazzo Capitano del Popolo monument built between 1212 and 1305 was the first public building to be erected in Piazza del Comune, with a façade of the building containing measures for silk, linen and wool as well as the outlines of bricks and roof tiles used in the building.Roman Amphitheatre monument, one notes the remains of the structure of the 1st century A.D, the elliptical form which can still be recognized in the lay-out of the medieval houses. Art and religion make an important part of Assisi and places to visit.Pope Gregory IX laid the first stone of the lower basilica the day after the canonization of Francis, on July17th 1228. This and more rich history is to be found at the Basilica of St. Francis when one tours Assisi. Basilica of Santa Maria built on a grandiose scale, is the seventh largest Christian church. The chapel was given to St. Francis by the Benedictines,and is important because it was the initial nucleus from which the Franciscan order was born. A lot more to be learnt at the visit of the church. In 1257, construction of St. Clare's Basilica was launched three years after the saint death and a year after she was canonized. The church dedicated to St. Clare's occupied the site of the church of St. Giorgio, where St. Francis had been buried before his remains were removed to the Basilica in 1230. Abbey of St. Pietro was consecrated by pope Innocent IV in 1254 together with St. Francis and St. Rifunus. St. Damians convent where St. Francis was ordered to restore the church in decay by the crucifix. The remaining mentioned religious places are also rich in history that people visiting Assisi can learn a lot from. Beautiful Museums and galleries are also found in Assisi that include the Porziuncola Museum- which is located within Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli and is an integral part of the pilgrim itenary; the Cathedral Museum and Crypt of St. Rufino that was found in 1941 and offers a Secular, Spiritual and Cultural reading of the diocese; Municipal Art Gallery with 14th -17th C. paintings housed in the 17th C. Pallazo Vallemani; Treasure Museum and F.M Perkins Collection with old paintings, ivory amongst other artifacts; and finally the Civic Museum and Roman Forum which exhibits Umbrian and Roman remains mostly tombstones, cinerary urns and inscriptions.. Assisi has more than enough to offer, it has art and tourist attractions such as the Forest of saint Francis-Assisi; along via San Francesco as well as the Park of Mount Subassio.Tourist visit the Calendimaggio which is the Ides of May Festivity. For visitors who love nature, strolling in the Assisi's forest can be a good idea to feel the blend of enjoying nature at a religious environment that the forest and surrounding places offers. Walking along via San Francesco will leave one amazed by what it offers in terms of the oldest buildings seen and rich history of the events that took place there relating to Assisi. The entire historical Centre of Assisi lies within the Park of Mount Subassio. Assisi town was built by rocks that came from the park and over time it (Assisi) has derived all it resources from there. Festives are held in May at Calendimaggio celebrating the return of spring done by groups of young gaudentes who sing, dance and serenade their way through the city streets and squares. The festivals are also linked to the centuries-old rivalry between the ''Parte di Sotto'' and the ''Parte di Sopra'' areas of the city. The two factions in 1300 engaged in a long and bloody struggle for supremacy that lasted for over two centuries. In a two days visit at Assisi, for one to maximize on the things to see and places to visit, it is better to plan in advance so that you can save a lot of time and have fun as a tourist in the place. The first day would work better for one to visit all the artistic monuments that have been discussed above because less time is needed to be spent there. Visiting the religious sights mentioned above, that are considered sacred, would also do well on the first day because less time is needed and taking photos is what most people do. The second day when spent visiting the museums and galleries of Assisi, that require a little more time because of the richness in art and history that they command. The museums and galleries are also not far from each other and so connecting won't be a problem. Other tourist attractions such as the Park and Forest can be visited on the second day. If it happens that you are visiting Assisi on the month of May, you can join the group celebrating the festive and this will be more enjoyable on the second day of the visit, i.e. after you have had a taste of the monuments as well as the sacred and spiritual places that form the source of Assisi's history, therefore doing this on the second day will work perfectly for the visitor. Once is Assisi, buses and taxis are many that can connect people to different places to be visited through out the time and this satisfies most visitors who come to Assisi.How to reach Assisi scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Valtopina (11,2Km) Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Famed for its ancient buildings, sunshine and fine cuisine, Valtopina promises a holiday of peace, quiet and Umbrian hospitality. The nearby hilltop town of Perugia, which dates back to Roman times, looks proudly out across the Spoleto Valley and it is a popular destination with tourists. Book a private guided tour, or wander at your own pace through its jumble of picturesque streets and cobbled alleyways. Explore the walls which date from Perugia's time as a fortified town. Wonder at the spectacle of the central piazza with its medieval palace and visit the impressive Cathedral of San Lorenzo, before resting at the Fontana Maggiore, the elegant, monumental fountain. The third century Etruscan Arch of Augustus remains almost unchanged - the Etruscan Well which supplied the whole town with its water, is thought to date from around the same time. By following a series of steps past walls dripping with water, you can stand on a bridge near the bottom of the well and look into its depths. The summer months can be very hot and humid in Umbria, so spring and autumn are the best times to enjoy a holiday in Valtopina if you prefer a more temperate climate. July is very busy, as Perugia becomes the centre of an international Jazz Festival. October also sees Perugia hosting the popular Eurochocolate Festival, where you can sample a wide variety of chocolates from around the world - an average of 900,000 visitors crowd into the town during the ten days of indulgence. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 08/10/2019 National Archeological Museum of Umbria Perugia (19Km) National Archeological Museum of Umbria During my trip to Umbria, I had the chance to visit many archeological sites and museum. The National Archeological Museum of Perugia left me with a pleasant surprise. This museum is loaded with Etruscan antiquities displayed in a simple manner. The antiquities are remarkable, but the displays are not elaborate. It seems that the budget for this museum was quite limited, but it remains one of my fondest memories of Perugia. In one hallway, Etruscan carved stone urns are lined up with little fanfare; I found this refreshingly unpretentious. The antiquities are all of local origin. Apparently, the rich history of Umbria has provided a bumper crop of ancient artifacts. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/11/2019 Perugia, the home of chocolate Perugia (19Km) Perugia, the home of chocolate Every fall in the Umbrian town of Perugia, there is held a 10-day festival which brings choco-holics from far and wide. The Eurochocolate Festival is an amazing display of chocolate in all forms, from thick hot chocolate infused with liqueurs and pastries filled with chocolate cream, to enormous chocolate bars and chocolate cups filled with alcohol. We were lucky enough to experience the mania during our holiday in Perugia. I'd read prior to our visit that the festival tends to bring out some of the largest crowds the area sees all year, and as soon as we arrived, we found it to be very true. When we exited the train station, it was apparent that most people were headed to the historical center for the festival as well, so we just began to follow the crowd as we all boarded buses for the uphill treck into town. Perugia sits on a hill which is surrounded by valleys on all sides and then other hills past the valleys - so it lends itself to some of the most beautiful scenery, as found by the outlooks on the edges on all sides of the walled city center. It is hard to explain the layout of the city, as some streets are actually underground, while others are painted along a labyrinth of stairways, stone arches, and winding cobblestone alleys - none of which we could tell were straight in any form except the main street through town. We literally shuffled our feet to move with the blob of a crowd through the underground alleyways from the bus stop to the center of town. There were several chocolate companies with displays and exhibits in this area. Finally we emerged back up on the street level - and into the freezing temperatures. Quickly we wrapped up our faces in our scarves and I slipped on my gloves as we took a deep breath and plunged back into the dense crowd and headed straight for the ciccolata calda (hot chocolate) stand. This is a must-see festival for any chocolate-lover. If you'd rather avoid the huge crowds, maybe try a weekday instead of the weekend, but everyday of the party will hold fun for all ages. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/11/2019 Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia Perugia (19Km) Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia I was walking up along Corso Garibaldi, which itself was obscure and lonely enough, when I caught sight of the sign which pointed to this park. So I heeded it, and after two tiny lanes and through an iron gate, I ended up in paradise! The Parco di Ponte San Angelo is a very well-hidden gem in Perugia. Unlike the noisy and tourist filled park at Piazza Italia, here you can have the whole place to yourself. And the view is a fierce competitor to that at Piazza Italia. Here, instead of seeing Assisi, you get a great view of the Perugian plains, including a lovely faraway hill, one of the "legs" of the star shaped Perugia, with countless charming houses on it. There are adequate benches and even a nearby WC. To get to the park, from Piazza Fortebraccio, head uphill along Corso Garibaldi about 300 meters uphill you will see the sign that directs you to the park. Then you're just one minute away! scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 08/04/2020 Accommodation All (80) Farm house (20) B&B (5) Campings (1) Hotels (53) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel Alexander Assisi HOTEL FRATE SOLE Assisi COUNTRY HOUSE PRO VOBIS Assisi CASTELLO DI PETRATA Assisi ALBERGO DEL VIAGGIATORE Assisi Hotel Minerva Assisi Hotel Properzio Assisi Hotel Trattoria Pallotta Assisi Hotel Dei Priori Assisi Hotel Posta Panoramic Assisi Hotel Lieto Soggiorno Assisi Hotel Il Castello Assisi Hotel La Fortezza Assisi Hotel Sole Assisi Hotel Il Palazzo Assisi Hotel Porta Nuova Assisi Hotel Da Rina Assisi Hotel San Francesco Assisi Albergo La Rocca Assisi Hotel JFI Hermitage Assisi Hotel San Rufino Assisi Hotel Fontebella Assisi Hotel Umbra Assisi Hotel San Giacomo Assisi Country House Tre Esse Assisi Nun Assisi Relais & Spa Museum Assisi The Relais Nun is located in the spiritual heart of Assisi, in the highest part of the historical centre with magnificent views of the both the Rocca Maggiore and Minore on the soft contours of Mount Subasio.

Art and culture in Assisi Art and culture in Assisi Assisi essential place of interest include art and monuments such as the Rocca Maggiore,Temple of Minerva, Palazzo Capitano del Popolo as well as Roman Amphitheatre.At Rocca Maggiore, you will see earliest record of a building dating back to 1174, when it was erected as a German feudal castle and a place where emperor Frederick II of Swabia was baptized in Assisi at the age of three in 1197. The place is rich in history and a lot more will be learnt on the visit to Rocca Maggiore. Temple of Minerva built in the late republican period in the 1st century BC 'erected by Quatorvirates Gneus Cesius and Titus Cesius Priscu. The monument has a lot to learn. Palazzo Capitano del Popolo monument built between 1212 and 1305 was the first public building to be erected in Piazza del Comune, with a façade of the building containing measures for silk, linen and wool as well as the outlines of bricks and roof tiles used in the building.Roman Amphitheatre monument, one notes the remains of the structure of the 1st century A.D, the elliptical form which can still be recognized in the lay-out of the medieval houses. Art and religion make an important part of Assisi and places to visit.Pope Gregory IX laid the first stone of the lower basilica the day after the canonization of Francis, on July17th 1228. This and more rich history is to be found at the Basilica of St. Francis when one tours Assisi. Basilica of Santa Maria built on a grandiose scale, is the seventh largest Christian church. The chapel was given to St. Francis by the Benedictines,and is important because it was the initial nucleus from which the Franciscan order was born. A lot more to be learnt at the visit of the church. In 1257, construction of St. Clare's Basilica was launched three years after the saint death and a year after she was canonized. The church dedicated to St. Clare's occupied the site of the church of St. Giorgio, where St. Francis had been buried before his remains were removed to the Basilica in 1230. Abbey of St. Pietro was consecrated by pope Innocent IV in 1254 together with St. Francis and St. Rifunus. St. Damians convent where St. Francis was ordered to restore the church in decay by the crucifix. The remaining mentioned religious places are also rich in history that people visiting Assisi can learn a lot from. Beautiful Museums and galleries are also found in Assisi that include the Porziuncola Museum- which is located within Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli and is an integral part of the pilgrim itenary; the Cathedral Museum and Crypt of St. Rufino that was found in 1941 and offers a Secular, Spiritual and Cultural reading of the diocese; Municipal Art Gallery with 14th -17th C. paintings housed in the 17th C.

Assisi has more than enough to offer, it has art and tourist attractions such as the Forest of saint Francis-Assisi; along via San Francesco as well as the Park of Mount Subassio.Tourist visit the Calendimaggio which is the Ides of May Festivity. For visitors who love nature, strolling in the Assisi's forest can be a good idea to feel the blend of enjoying nature at a religious environment that the forest and surrounding places offers. Walking along via San Francesco will leave one amazed by what it offers in terms of the oldest buildings seen and rich history of the events that took place there relating to Assisi. The entire historical Centre of Assisi lies within the Park of Mount Subassio. Assisi town was built by rocks that came from the park and over time it (Assisi) has derived all it resources from there. Festives are held in May at Calendimaggio celebrating the return of spring done by groups of young gaudentes who sing, dance and serenade their way through the city streets and squares. The festivals are also linked to the centuries-old rivalry between the ''Parte di Sotto'' and the ''Parte di Sopra'' areas of the city. The two factions in 1300 engaged in a long and bloody struggle for supremacy that lasted for over two centuries. In a two days visit at Assisi, for one to maximize on the things to see and places to visit, it is better to plan in advance so that you can save a lot of time and have fun as a tourist in the place. The first day would work better for one to visit all the artistic monuments that have been discussed above because less time is needed to be spent there. Visiting the religious sights mentioned above, that are considered sacred, would also do well on the first day because less time is needed and taking photos is what most people do. The second day when spent visiting the museums and galleries of Assisi, that require a little more time because of the richness in art and history that they command. The museums and galleries are also not far from each other and so connecting won't be a problem. Other tourist attractions such as the Park and Forest can be visited on the second day. If it happens that you are visiting Assisi on the month of May, you can join the group celebrating the festive and this will be more enjoyable on the second day of the visit, i.e. after you have had a taste of the monuments as well as the sacred and spiritual places that form the source of Assisi's history, therefore doing this on the second day will work perfectly for the visitor. Once is Assisi, buses and taxis are many that can connect people to different places to be visited through out the time and this satisfies most visitors who come to Assisi.How to reach Assisi scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Valtopina (11,2Km) Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Famed for its ancient buildings, sunshine and fine cuisine, Valtopina promises a holiday of peace, quiet and Umbrian hospitality. The nearby hilltop town of Perugia, which dates back to Roman times, looks proudly out across the Spoleto Valley and it is a popular destination with tourists. Book a private guided tour, or wander at your own pace through its jumble of picturesque streets and cobbled alleyways. Explore the walls which date from Perugia's time as a fortified town. Wonder at the spectacle of the central piazza with its medieval palace and visit the impressive Cathedral of San Lorenzo, before resting at the Fontana Maggiore, the elegant, monumental fountain. The third century Etruscan Arch of Augustus remains almost unchanged - the Etruscan Well which supplied the whole town with its water, is thought to date from around the same time. By following a series of steps past walls dripping with water, you can stand on a bridge near the bottom of the well and look into its depths. The summer months can be very hot and humid in Umbria, so spring and autumn are the best times to enjoy a holiday in Valtopina if you prefer a more temperate climate. July is very busy, as Perugia becomes the centre of an international Jazz Festival. October also sees Perugia hosting the popular Eurochocolate Festival, where you can sample a wide variety of chocolates from around the world - an average of 900,000 visitors crowd into the town during the ten days of indulgence. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 08/10/2019 National Archeological Museum of Umbria Perugia (19Km) National Archeological Museum of Umbria During my trip to Umbria, I had the chance to visit many archeological sites and museum. The National Archeological Museum of Perugia left me with a pleasant surprise. This museum is loaded with Etruscan antiquities displayed in a simple manner. The antiquities are remarkable, but the displays are not elaborate. It seems that the budget for this museum was quite limited, but it remains one of my fondest memories of Perugia. In one hallway, Etruscan carved stone urns are lined up with little fanfare; I found this refreshingly unpretentious. The antiquities are all of local origin. Apparently, the rich history of Umbria has provided a bumper crop of ancient artifacts. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/11/2019 Perugia, the home of chocolate Perugia (19Km) Perugia, the home of chocolate Every fall in the Umbrian town of Perugia, there is held a 10-day festival which brings choco-holics from far and wide. The Eurochocolate Festival is an amazing display of chocolate in all forms, from thick hot chocolate infused with liqueurs and pastries filled with chocolate cream, to enormous chocolate bars and chocolate cups filled with alcohol. We were lucky enough to experience the mania during our holiday in Perugia. I'd read prior to our visit that the festival tends to bring out some of the largest crowds the area sees all year, and as soon as we arrived, we found it to be very true. When we exited the train station, it was apparent that most people were headed to the historical center for the festival as well, so we just began to follow the crowd as we all boarded buses for the uphill treck into town. Perugia sits on a hill which is surrounded by valleys on all sides and then other hills past the valleys - so it lends itself to some of the most beautiful scenery, as found by the outlooks on the edges on all sides of the walled city center. It is hard to explain the layout of the city, as some streets are actually underground, while others are painted along a labyrinth of stairways, stone arches, and winding cobblestone alleys - none of which we could tell were straight in any form except the main street through town. We literally shuffled our feet to move with the blob of a crowd through the underground alleyways from the bus stop to the center of town. There were several chocolate companies with displays and exhibits in this area. Finally we emerged back up on the street level - and into the freezing temperatures. Quickly we wrapped up our faces in our scarves and I slipped on my gloves as we took a deep breath and plunged back into the dense crowd and headed straight for the ciccolata calda (hot chocolate) stand. This is a must-see festival for any chocolate-lover. If you'd rather avoid the huge crowds, maybe try a weekday instead of the weekend, but everyday of the party will hold fun for all ages. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/11/2019 Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia Perugia (19Km) Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia I was walking up along Corso Garibaldi, which itself was obscure and lonely enough, when I caught sight of the sign which pointed to this park. So I heeded it, and after two tiny lanes and through an iron gate, I ended up in paradise! The Parco di Ponte San Angelo is a very well-hidden gem in Perugia. Unlike the noisy and tourist filled park at Piazza Italia, here you can have the whole place to yourself. And the view is a fierce competitor to that at Piazza Italia. Here, instead of seeing Assisi, you get a great view of the Perugian plains, including a lovely faraway hill, one of the "legs" of the star shaped Perugia, with countless charming houses on it. There are adequate benches and even a nearby WC. To get to the park, from Piazza Fortebraccio, head uphill along Corso Garibaldi about 300 meters uphill you will see the sign that directs you to the park. Then you're just one minute away! scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 08/04/2020 Accommodation All (80) Farm house (20) B&B (5) Campings (1) Hotels (53) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel Alexander Assisi HOTEL FRATE SOLE Assisi COUNTRY HOUSE PRO VOBIS Assisi CASTELLO DI PETRATA Assisi ALBERGO DEL VIAGGIATORE Assisi Hotel Minerva Assisi Hotel Properzio Assisi Hotel Trattoria Pallotta Assisi Hotel Dei Priori Assisi Hotel Posta Panoramic Assisi Hotel Lieto Soggiorno Assisi Hotel Il Castello Assisi Hotel La Fortezza Assisi Hotel Sole Assisi Hotel Il Palazzo Assisi Hotel Porta Nuova Assisi Hotel Da Rina Assisi Hotel San Francesco Assisi Albergo La Rocca Assisi Hotel JFI Hermitage Assisi Hotel San Rufino Assisi Hotel Fontebella Assisi Hotel Umbra Assisi Hotel San Giacomo Assisi Country House Tre Esse Assisi Nun Assisi Relais & Spa Museum Assisi The Relais Nun is located in the spiritual heart of Assisi, in the highest part of the historical centre with magnificent views of the both the Rocca Maggiore and Minore on the soft contours of Mount Subasio.

Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Valtopina (11,2Km) Perugia festivals and fun on a Valtopina holiday Famed for its ancient buildings, sunshine and fine cuisine, Valtopina promises a holiday of peace, quiet and Umbrian hospitality. The nearby hilltop town of Perugia, which dates back to Roman times, looks proudly out across the Spoleto Valley and it is a popular destination with tourists. Book a private guided tour, or wander at your own pace through its jumble of picturesque streets and cobbled alleyways. Explore the walls which date from Perugia's time as a fortified town. Wonder at the spectacle of the central piazza with its medieval palace and visit the impressive Cathedral of San Lorenzo, before resting at the Fontana Maggiore, the elegant, monumental fountain. The third century Etruscan Arch of Augustus remains almost unchanged - the Etruscan Well which supplied the whole town with its water, is thought to date from around the same time. By following a series of steps past walls dripping with water, you can stand on a bridge near the bottom of the well and look into its depths. The summer months can be very hot and humid in Umbria, so spring and autumn are the best times to enjoy a holiday in Valtopina if you prefer a more temperate climate. July is very busy, as Perugia becomes the centre of an international Jazz Festival. October also sees Perugia hosting the popular Eurochocolate Festival, where you can sample a wide variety of chocolates from around the world - an average of 900,000 visitors crowd into the town during the ten days of indulgence. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 08/10/2019 National Archeological Museum of Umbria Perugia (19Km) National Archeological Museum of Umbria During my trip to Umbria, I had the chance to visit many archeological sites and museum. The National Archeological Museum of Perugia left me with a pleasant surprise. This museum is loaded with Etruscan antiquities displayed in a simple manner. The antiquities are remarkable, but the displays are not elaborate. It seems that the budget for this museum was quite limited, but it remains one of my fondest memories of Perugia. In one hallway, Etruscan carved stone urns are lined up with little fanfare; I found this refreshingly unpretentious. The antiquities are all of local origin. Apparently, the rich history of Umbria has provided a bumper crop of ancient artifacts. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/11/2019 Perugia, the home of chocolate Perugia (19Km) Perugia, the home of chocolate Every fall in the Umbrian town of Perugia, there is held a 10-day festival which brings choco-holics from far and wide. The Eurochocolate Festival is an amazing display of chocolate in all forms, from thick hot chocolate infused with liqueurs and pastries filled with chocolate cream, to enormous chocolate bars and chocolate cups filled with alcohol. We were lucky enough to experience the mania during our holiday in Perugia. I'd read prior to our visit that the festival tends to bring out some of the largest crowds the area sees all year, and as soon as we arrived, we found it to be very true. When we exited the train station, it was apparent that most people were headed to the historical center for the festival as well, so we just began to follow the crowd as we all boarded buses for the uphill treck into town. Perugia sits on a hill which is surrounded by valleys on all sides and then other hills past the valleys - so it lends itself to some of the most beautiful scenery, as found by the outlooks on the edges on all sides of the walled city center. It is hard to explain the layout of the city, as some streets are actually underground, while others are painted along a labyrinth of stairways, stone arches, and winding cobblestone alleys - none of which we could tell were straight in any form except the main street through town. We literally shuffled our feet to move with the blob of a crowd through the underground alleyways from the bus stop to the center of town. There were several chocolate companies with displays and exhibits in this area. Finally we emerged back up on the street level - and into the freezing temperatures. Quickly we wrapped up our faces in our scarves and I slipped on my gloves as we took a deep breath and plunged back into the dense crowd and headed straight for the ciccolata calda (hot chocolate) stand. This is a must-see festival for any chocolate-lover. If you'd rather avoid the huge crowds, maybe try a weekday instead of the weekend, but everyday of the party will hold fun for all ages. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/11/2019 Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia Perugia (19Km) Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia I was walking up along Corso Garibaldi, which itself was obscure and lonely enough, when I caught sight of the sign which pointed to this park. So I heeded it, and after two tiny lanes and through an iron gate, I ended up in paradise! The Parco di Ponte San Angelo is a very well-hidden gem in Perugia. Unlike the noisy and tourist filled park at Piazza Italia, here you can have the whole place to yourself. And the view is a fierce competitor to that at Piazza Italia. Here, instead of seeing Assisi, you get a great view of the Perugian plains, including a lovely faraway hill, one of the "legs" of the star shaped Perugia, with countless charming houses on it. There are adequate benches and even a nearby WC. To get to the park, from Piazza Fortebraccio, head uphill along Corso Garibaldi about 300 meters uphill you will see the sign that directs you to the park. Then you're just one minute away! scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 08/04/2020 Accommodation All (80) Farm house (20) B&B (5) Campings (1) Hotels (53) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel Alexander Assisi HOTEL FRATE SOLE Assisi COUNTRY HOUSE PRO VOBIS Assisi CASTELLO DI PETRATA Assisi ALBERGO DEL VIAGGIATORE Assisi Hotel Minerva Assisi Hotel Properzio Assisi Hotel Trattoria Pallotta Assisi Hotel Dei Priori Assisi Hotel Posta Panoramic Assisi Hotel Lieto Soggiorno Assisi Hotel Il Castello Assisi Hotel La Fortezza Assisi Hotel Sole Assisi Hotel Il Palazzo Assisi Hotel Porta Nuova Assisi Hotel Da Rina Assisi Hotel San Francesco Assisi Albergo La Rocca Assisi Hotel JFI Hermitage Assisi Hotel San Rufino Assisi Hotel Fontebella Assisi Hotel Umbra Assisi Hotel San Giacomo Assisi Country House Tre Esse Assisi Nun Assisi Relais & Spa Museum Assisi The Relais Nun is located in the spiritual heart of Assisi, in the highest part of the historical centre with magnificent views of the both the Rocca Maggiore and Minore on the soft contours of Mount Subasio.

Famed for its ancient buildings, sunshine and fine cuisine, Valtopina promises a holiday of peace, quiet and Umbrian hospitality. The nearby hilltop town of Perugia, which dates back to Roman times, looks proudly out across the Spoleto Valley and it is a popular destination with tourists. Book a private guided tour, or wander at your own pace through its jumble of picturesque streets and cobbled alleyways. Explore the walls which date from Perugia's time as a fortified town. Wonder at the spectacle of the central piazza with its medieval palace and visit the impressive Cathedral of San Lorenzo, before resting at the Fontana Maggiore, the elegant, monumental fountain. The third century Etruscan Arch of Augustus remains almost unchanged - the Etruscan Well which supplied the whole town with its water, is thought to date from around the same time. By following a series of steps past walls dripping with water, you can stand on a bridge near the bottom of the well and look into its depths. The summer months can be very hot and humid in Umbria, so spring and autumn are the best times to enjoy a holiday in Valtopina if you prefer a more temperate climate. July is very busy, as Perugia becomes the centre of an international Jazz Festival. October also sees Perugia hosting the popular Eurochocolate Festival, where you can sample a wide variety of chocolates from around the world - an average of 900,000 visitors crowd into the town during the ten days of indulgence.
National Archeological Museum of Umbria Perugia (19Km) National Archeological Museum of Umbria During my trip to Umbria, I had the chance to visit many archeological sites and museum. The National Archeological Museum of Perugia left me with a pleasant surprise. This museum is loaded with Etruscan antiquities displayed in a simple manner. The antiquities are remarkable, but the displays are not elaborate. It seems that the budget for this museum was quite limited, but it remains one of my fondest memories of Perugia. In one hallway, Etruscan carved stone urns are lined up with little fanfare; I found this refreshingly unpretentious. The antiquities are all of local origin. Apparently, the rich history of Umbria has provided a bumper crop of ancient artifacts. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/11/2019 Perugia, the home of chocolate Perugia (19Km) Perugia, the home of chocolate Every fall in the Umbrian town of Perugia, there is held a 10-day festival which brings choco-holics from far and wide. The Eurochocolate Festival is an amazing display of chocolate in all forms, from thick hot chocolate infused with liqueurs and pastries filled with chocolate cream, to enormous chocolate bars and chocolate cups filled with alcohol. We were lucky enough to experience the mania during our holiday in Perugia. I'd read prior to our visit that the festival tends to bring out some of the largest crowds the area sees all year, and as soon as we arrived, we found it to be very true. When we exited the train station, it was apparent that most people were headed to the historical center for the festival as well, so we just began to follow the crowd as we all boarded buses for the uphill treck into town. Perugia sits on a hill which is surrounded by valleys on all sides and then other hills past the valleys - so it lends itself to some of the most beautiful scenery, as found by the outlooks on the edges on all sides of the walled city center. It is hard to explain the layout of the city, as some streets are actually underground, while others are painted along a labyrinth of stairways, stone arches, and winding cobblestone alleys - none of which we could tell were straight in any form except the main street through town. We literally shuffled our feet to move with the blob of a crowd through the underground alleyways from the bus stop to the center of town. There were several chocolate companies with displays and exhibits in this area. Finally we emerged back up on the street level - and into the freezing temperatures. Quickly we wrapped up our faces in our scarves and I slipped on my gloves as we took a deep breath and plunged back into the dense crowd and headed straight for the ciccolata calda (hot chocolate) stand. This is a must-see festival for any chocolate-lover. If you'd rather avoid the huge crowds, maybe try a weekday instead of the weekend, but everyday of the party will hold fun for all ages. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/11/2019 Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia Perugia (19Km) Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia I was walking up along Corso Garibaldi, which itself was obscure and lonely enough, when I caught sight of the sign which pointed to this park. So I heeded it, and after two tiny lanes and through an iron gate, I ended up in paradise! The Parco di Ponte San Angelo is a very well-hidden gem in Perugia. Unlike the noisy and tourist filled park at Piazza Italia, here you can have the whole place to yourself. And the view is a fierce competitor to that at Piazza Italia. Here, instead of seeing Assisi, you get a great view of the Perugian plains, including a lovely faraway hill, one of the "legs" of the star shaped Perugia, with countless charming houses on it. There are adequate benches and even a nearby WC. To get to the park, from Piazza Fortebraccio, head uphill along Corso Garibaldi about 300 meters uphill you will see the sign that directs you to the park. Then you're just one minute away! scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 08/04/2020 Accommodation All (80) Farm house (20) B&B (5) Campings (1) Hotels (53) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel Alexander Assisi HOTEL FRATE SOLE Assisi COUNTRY HOUSE PRO VOBIS Assisi CASTELLO DI PETRATA Assisi ALBERGO DEL VIAGGIATORE Assisi Hotel Minerva Assisi Hotel Properzio Assisi Hotel Trattoria Pallotta Assisi Hotel Dei Priori Assisi Hotel Posta Panoramic Assisi Hotel Lieto Soggiorno Assisi Hotel Il Castello Assisi Hotel La Fortezza Assisi Hotel Sole Assisi Hotel Il Palazzo Assisi Hotel Porta Nuova Assisi Hotel Da Rina Assisi Hotel San Francesco Assisi Albergo La Rocca Assisi Hotel JFI Hermitage Assisi Hotel San Rufino Assisi Hotel Fontebella Assisi Hotel Umbra Assisi Hotel San Giacomo Assisi Country House Tre Esse Assisi Nun Assisi Relais & Spa Museum Assisi The Relais Nun is located in the spiritual heart of Assisi, in the highest part of the historical centre with magnificent views of the both the Rocca Maggiore and Minore on the soft contours of Mount Subasio.

During my trip to Umbria, I had the chance to visit many archeological sites and museum. The National Archeological Museum of Perugia left me with a pleasant surprise. This museum is loaded with Etruscan antiquities displayed in a simple manner. The antiquities are remarkable, but the displays are not elaborate. It seems that the budget for this museum was quite limited, but it remains one of my fondest memories of Perugia. In one hallway, Etruscan carved stone urns are lined up with little fanfare; I found this refreshingly unpretentious. The antiquities are all of local origin. Apparently, the rich history of Umbria has provided a bumper crop of ancient artifacts.
Perugia, the home of chocolate Perugia (19Km) Perugia, the home of chocolate Every fall in the Umbrian town of Perugia, there is held a 10-day festival which brings choco-holics from far and wide. The Eurochocolate Festival is an amazing display of chocolate in all forms, from thick hot chocolate infused with liqueurs and pastries filled with chocolate cream, to enormous chocolate bars and chocolate cups filled with alcohol. We were lucky enough to experience the mania during our holiday in Perugia. I'd read prior to our visit that the festival tends to bring out some of the largest crowds the area sees all year, and as soon as we arrived, we found it to be very true. When we exited the train station, it was apparent that most people were headed to the historical center for the festival as well, so we just began to follow the crowd as we all boarded buses for the uphill treck into town. Perugia sits on a hill which is surrounded by valleys on all sides and then other hills past the valleys - so it lends itself to some of the most beautiful scenery, as found by the outlooks on the edges on all sides of the walled city center. It is hard to explain the layout of the city, as some streets are actually underground, while others are painted along a labyrinth of stairways, stone arches, and winding cobblestone alleys - none of which we could tell were straight in any form except the main street through town. We literally shuffled our feet to move with the blob of a crowd through the underground alleyways from the bus stop to the center of town. There were several chocolate companies with displays and exhibits in this area. Finally we emerged back up on the street level - and into the freezing temperatures. Quickly we wrapped up our faces in our scarves and I slipped on my gloves as we took a deep breath and plunged back into the dense crowd and headed straight for the ciccolata calda (hot chocolate) stand. This is a must-see festival for any chocolate-lover. If you'd rather avoid the huge crowds, maybe try a weekday instead of the weekend, but everyday of the party will hold fun for all ages. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/11/2019 Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia Perugia (19Km) Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia I was walking up along Corso Garibaldi, which itself was obscure and lonely enough, when I caught sight of the sign which pointed to this park. So I heeded it, and after two tiny lanes and through an iron gate, I ended up in paradise! The Parco di Ponte San Angelo is a very well-hidden gem in Perugia. Unlike the noisy and tourist filled park at Piazza Italia, here you can have the whole place to yourself. And the view is a fierce competitor to that at Piazza Italia. Here, instead of seeing Assisi, you get a great view of the Perugian plains, including a lovely faraway hill, one of the "legs" of the star shaped Perugia, with countless charming houses on it. There are adequate benches and even a nearby WC. To get to the park, from Piazza Fortebraccio, head uphill along Corso Garibaldi about 300 meters uphill you will see the sign that directs you to the park. Then you're just one minute away! scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 08/04/2020 Accommodation All (80) Farm house (20) B&B (5) Campings (1) Hotels (53) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel Alexander Assisi HOTEL FRATE SOLE Assisi COUNTRY HOUSE PRO VOBIS Assisi CASTELLO DI PETRATA Assisi ALBERGO DEL VIAGGIATORE Assisi Hotel Minerva Assisi Hotel Properzio Assisi Hotel Trattoria Pallotta Assisi Hotel Dei Priori Assisi Hotel Posta Panoramic Assisi Hotel Lieto Soggiorno Assisi Hotel Il Castello Assisi Hotel La Fortezza Assisi Hotel Sole Assisi Hotel Il Palazzo Assisi Hotel Porta Nuova Assisi Hotel Da Rina Assisi Hotel San Francesco Assisi Albergo La Rocca Assisi Hotel JFI Hermitage Assisi Hotel San Rufino Assisi Hotel Fontebella Assisi Hotel Umbra Assisi Hotel San Giacomo Assisi Country House Tre Esse Assisi Nun Assisi Relais & Spa Museum Assisi The Relais Nun is located in the spiritual heart of Assisi, in the highest part of the historical centre with magnificent views of the both the Rocca Maggiore and Minore on the soft contours of Mount Subasio.

Every fall in the Umbrian town of Perugia, there is held a 10-day festival which brings choco-holics from far and wide. The Eurochocolate Festival is an amazing display of chocolate in all forms, from thick hot chocolate infused with liqueurs and pastries filled with chocolate cream, to enormous chocolate bars and chocolate cups filled with alcohol. We were lucky enough to experience the mania during our holiday in Perugia. I'd read prior to our visit that the festival tends to bring out some of the largest crowds the area sees all year, and as soon as we arrived, we found it to be very true. When we exited the train station, it was apparent that most people were headed to the historical center for the festival as well, so we just began to follow the crowd as we all boarded buses for the uphill treck into town. Perugia sits on a hill which is surrounded by valleys on all sides and then other hills past the valleys - so it lends itself to some of the most beautiful scenery, as found by the outlooks on the edges on all sides of the walled city center. It is hard to explain the layout of the city, as some streets are actually underground, while others are painted along a labyrinth of stairways, stone arches, and winding cobblestone alleys - none of which we could tell were straight in any form except the main street through town. We literally shuffled our feet to move with the blob of a crowd through the underground alleyways from the bus stop to the center of town. There were several chocolate companies with displays and exhibits in this area. Finally we emerged back up on the street level - and into the freezing temperatures. Quickly we wrapped up our faces in our scarves and I slipped on my gloves as we took a deep breath and plunged back into the dense crowd and headed straight for the ciccolata calda (hot chocolate) stand. This is a must-see festival for any chocolate-lover. If you'd rather avoid the huge crowds, maybe try a weekday instead of the weekend, but everyday of the party will hold fun for all ages.
Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia Perugia (19Km) Parco of Ponte Sant'Angelo in Perugia I was walking up along Corso Garibaldi, which itself was obscure and lonely enough, when I caught sight of the sign which pointed to this park. So I heeded it, and after two tiny lanes and through an iron gate, I ended up in paradise! The Parco di Ponte San Angelo is a very well-hidden gem in Perugia. Unlike the noisy and tourist filled park at Piazza Italia, here you can have the whole place to yourself. And the view is a fierce competitor to that at Piazza Italia. Here, instead of seeing Assisi, you get a great view of the Perugian plains, including a lovely faraway hill, one of the "legs" of the star shaped Perugia, with countless charming houses on it. There are adequate benches and even a nearby WC. To get to the park, from Piazza Fortebraccio, head uphill along Corso Garibaldi about 300 meters uphill you will see the sign that directs you to the park. Then you're just one minute away! scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 08/04/2020 Accommodation All (80) Farm house (20) B&B (5) Campings (1) Hotels (53) Residence (3) Touristic village (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel Alexander Assisi HOTEL FRATE SOLE Assisi COUNTRY HOUSE PRO VOBIS Assisi CASTELLO DI PETRATA Assisi ALBERGO DEL VIAGGIATORE Assisi Hotel Minerva Assisi Hotel Properzio Assisi Hotel Trattoria Pallotta Assisi Hotel Dei Priori Assisi Hotel Posta Panoramic Assisi Hotel Lieto Soggiorno Assisi Hotel Il Castello Assisi Hotel La Fortezza Assisi Hotel Sole Assisi Hotel Il Palazzo Assisi Hotel Porta Nuova Assisi Hotel Da Rina Assisi Hotel San Francesco Assisi Albergo La Rocca Assisi Hotel JFI Hermitage Assisi Hotel San Rufino Assisi Hotel Fontebella Assisi Hotel Umbra Assisi Hotel San Giacomo Assisi Country House Tre Esse Assisi Nun Assisi Relais & Spa Museum Assisi The Relais Nun is located in the spiritual heart of Assisi, in the highest part of the historical centre with magnificent views of the both the Rocca Maggiore and Minore on the soft contours of Mount Subasio.

I was walking up along Corso Garibaldi, which itself was obscure and lonely enough, when I caught sight of the sign which pointed to this park. So I heeded it, and after two tiny lanes and through an iron gate, I ended up in paradise! The Parco di Ponte San Angelo is a very well-hidden gem in Perugia. Unlike the noisy and tourist filled park at Piazza Italia, here you can have the whole place to yourself. And the view is a fierce competitor to that at Piazza Italia. Here, instead of seeing Assisi, you get a great view of the Perugian plains, including a lovely faraway hill, one of the "legs" of the star shaped Perugia, with countless charming houses on it. There are adequate benches and even a nearby WC. To get to the park, from Piazza Fortebraccio, head uphill along Corso Garibaldi about 300 meters uphill you will see the sign that directs you to the park. Then you're just one minute away!
