Hotels in Assisi
Never show up in Assisi, especially from Easter to fall, without a hotel reservation. Don’t even think of showing up without a reservation on pilgrim-thronged church holidays or the Calendimaggio, a spring celebration the first weekend (starting Thurs) after May 1, when the town divides itself into “upper” and “lower” factions that date to the 1300s and celebrates with processions, medieval contests of strength and skill, and late-night partying—all in 14th-century costume, of course. At these times you’ll search in vain and find yourself stuck overnight in one of the bus-pilgrimage facilities 4km (2.5 miles) away in Santa Maria degli Angeli.
Beyond hotels, there are a number of AirBnB and VRBO rentals available. Check those, too, when looking for a place to stay.

Hotel Palazzo Bocci
If rooms at the inns in Assisi are full, settle into Spello in style at the palace of a 15th-century merchant, converted in the 18th and 19th centuries to its fairly splendid current state.

Hotel Umbra
Assisi lodgings just don’t get any homier than they do at the Laudenzi family’s welcoming little inn down a tiny alley from Piazza del Commune.

NUN Assisi Relais & Spa Museum

Sorella Luna
Recent renovations have given a 15th-century palace a contemporary slant, with a flower-filled terraced garden and glassed-in atriums.
