What a cute and awesome place to stay! The nuns that run the guesthouse were like cute little grandmas who quickly learned my name and wanted to make sure I got a good breakfast and let me keep my car in their parking lot a little late. The rooms are simple, nothing fancy. The location could scarcely be better, right next to the basilica of St. Clare. There is an awesome garden that is a lovely place to read and the breakfast was one of the healthiest and most filling I ate anywhere in Italy. I'd come back here again and again and again! read more

Yeah. That's right. We did it. We stayed at a convent. In Assisi. Nuns, curfews and rules abound. Oh my! Wake your ass up to loud harp music playing on the entire PA system at 7am sharp. Get it on down to breakfast because you ain't sleeping - that harp music ain't stopping until breakfast is over. THIS IS SERIOUS, people! BABY JESUS IS WAITING!!! You better get your ass back to your room with your key visible on the wall before 11pm or you will be promptly locked out, no questions asked. Big Jesus said so. It may be hard to believe given such rules that these sisters were incredibly kind, welcoming, helpful and nice. But they truly were, they made our stay most memorable. A big plus is that if you plan to do the pilgrimage to St Francis' cave, this convent is exactly where you want to be in Assisi to begin the pilgrimage (as close as possible to the bottom of the mountain). I don't think there was a better view in all of Assisi than from our balcony. The convent itself is gorgeous from the outside - gardens included - and equally gorgeous inside. Until you get inside your room, then it looks like you are about to have day surgery. But, once we pushed our beds together and turned out the lights, the room looked really, really good. ;) read more

We stayed at the Guesthouse over Christmas in 1976. I still have the post cards and still remember the time I had here. The Sisters were so kind and tried to answer my many questions with their broken English To end our vacation, the Sisters arranged for us to attend an all boys choir musical and to have a Christmas Dinner at a local family's home. This was one of the most exciting Christmas events I have ever had. I hope to go back soon to see how things are the same or have changed. read more

I almost don't want to write this because the more people that know about this special place the harder it is to get reservations. I have stayed at this Guesthouse many times over the last 10 years. It is a wonderful place to stay. The sisters are very helpful and can't do enough to make it a pleasant stay. We have been on a first name basis since my first stay. It is a relatively small place, about 20 rooms. The rooms are sparse but comfortable. The view is amazing. Breakfast is early and I am not a morning person, but you do have the option of returning to your room for a bit before you venture out. As for the music in the morning, it is their way of letting you know the diningroom is open. I find it a wonderful way to wake up, much better than the blasted alarm clock. The location is fantastic, just a few blocks from the center of Assisi. It is also right on the local bus route and the sisters sell bus tickets as a convenience. And just a short way down the hill and across the street is the entrance to the "short-cut" path to the top of the city. I am always excited when they have room for my entire stay. My next visit later this year will be for three weeks, YIPEE! read more
