Leaving Assisi
... over Assisi from here. The hotel is owned and run by a family and has a lovely feel. I commented to Lara, who is at reception most, that I was surprised that it only has a two star rating and she explained that there are a number of requirements relating to the ratings system, including size. They have only 12 rooms. It isn't a modern, contemporary hotel, but has great character. The breakfasts have ...
Last day in Assisi
Today was our last full day in Assisi.

The present small convent was restructured by St Bernardino of Sienna in the 15th century, and added to further in the 16th and 17th centuries. One suspects ...
Checkin' out Assisi's churches
... speak to him directly. However, the church that we were most deeply impacted by was that of St Stephano (Stephen). It is a simple building, unadorned except for two frescoes which are faded through age and is one of the most ancient in Assisi. It is a spiritually powerful place which has a tangible stillness and presence. We both felt a far greater sense of the spirit of St Francis here than in any of the other churches, but had the feeling that ...
