Isn't it much nicer to experience a city on a culinary tour? So much more fun to learn about everything while trying all those delicacies... :-)

It is a bit of a drive, best combined with a visit of Gubbio but if you are a fan of alpacas like I am, you will not regret going there. They are such fun animals and Giada and Giuseppe make sure you have the best experience, for example while going for a walk with the alpacas.

This former monastery, completely renovated with a huge amount of taste and professionalism, has a holistic spa which I can highly recommend. Their treatments include massages or facials in hay beds, turkish hammam and many more ways to pamper you. Great staff!!

Food scene

This place is as local as it gets, packed full on the weekends since their typical Umbrian dishes have reasonable prices, so it is extremely popular with the locals.

Local Umbrian dishes but on an elevated level, the location is beautiful and you won't have any parking issues since it is located just 3-4 kilometers outside of Assisi's centre. Open only on specific days of the week.

The terrace has a view to die for, so best time is to go in the warmer months. Granted, it attracts a lot of tourists but we like the food as well.

If you like Assisi, you will love Gubbio! Its architecture is as beautiful but it is even bigger, more authentic and has its Funivia as a plus which is a cable car that takes you up to the montain and the churche of Sant'Ubaldo.

Everybody loves Spello, it is a short 10-minutes drive from Assisi, quaint and beautiuf and with way less people than Assisi (except for their flower festival beginning of June).
