Hotel Giotto is well situated in historic Assisi, walking distance to St. Francis Basilica, and all…read moreshops in the old town. The hotel was a joy to stay in - friendly staff, great food, and the best hotel views from our 26 days in Italy. We stayed three nights.
Dinners were a treat each evening, outstanding food. The dining room is divided into tour/non-tour areas, and sound-insulating between each; my wife and I appreciated being able to enjoy quiet dinners apart from the raucous tours. Breakfasts were also excellent.
Walking through Assisi is like going back in time, an amazing experience. One of the more picturesque places we visited in Italy. But be aware there is some steep up and down involved, and the narrow streets can make for a harrowing experience avoiding cars zooming past.
We also visited Basilica Santa Maria, which is down in Assisi proper, which we took a taxi to. We took taxis to/from the train station as well. Assisi does not have an abundance of taxis, and a 20-30 minute wait for a cab was common; plan this into your itinerary if you go this route.
Hotel Giotto is highly recommended.
