Housed in a renaissance-style building, the 3* Fontebella harks back to a bygone era. Views of the Umbrian valley combined with the sound of church bells and a panorama of terracotta rooftops are complemented by the ambience of the harmoniously furnished guestrooms, all of which offer air-conditioning, satellite TV and much more. Breakfast is served in the centuries-old "Sala degli Archi" and a delightful Umbrian dinner can be enjoyed in the candlelit surroundings of the "Il Frantoio" restaurant. The hotel's location in the heart of Assisi, only a few minutes' walk from the Upper and Lower Basilicas of St. Francis, allows visitors to experience this famous medieval city to the full.
