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.

We have been working ...
Checkin' out Assisi's churches

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.
