Why choose Assisi for your custom trip?
Perched at 424 meters above sea level on the slopes of Mount Subasio, Assisi invites you to live a unique experience where spirituality, art, and history blend harmoniously. This medieval city in Umbria, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers an exceptional setting for your customized travel project.
An incomparable spiritual and artistic heritage
Assisi remains inseparably linked to Saint Francis, the patron saint of Italy born in 1181. Your custom trip will lead you in the footsteps of Francis of Assisi, from his birthplace to the majestic basilica that houses his remains. Giotto's famous frescoes, consisting of 28 panels retracing the life of the saint, are among the masterpieces of global Christian art.
The Saint Francis Basilica, built in the 13th century, consists of two superposed churches offering remarkable architecture. Your custom stay in Assisi will also allow you to discover the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels, built around the Porziuncola where Saint Francis died in 1226, as well as the moving Basilica of Santa Chiara with its pink and white stones.
An immersion in authentic Umbria
Your personalized trip to Assisi will plunge you into the unique atmosphere of this region often nicknamed "the green heart of Italy". The paved alleys snake between light stone houses, dotted with medieval squares where the Roman temple of Minerva stands, perfectly preserved since antiquity.
Umbria reveals its gastronomic treasures during your custom stay: black truffles from Norcia, extra-virgin olive oil, sheep's cheeses, and Sagrantino wines from Montefalco. This fertile land, less touristy than its neighbor Tuscany, preserves an authentic way of living that our Travel Planners will help you discover.
How to organize your personalized stay in Assisi?
Our local experts design your custom trip according to your desires and interests, whether it's a family trip, a trip with friends, or a romantic honeymoon.
The planning of your stay revolves around three essential aspects: the duration and pace of your trip, the authentic experiences to enjoy on-site, and the choice of character accommodations.
