Top choice in Assisi
An air of Zen-like calm hangs over this super-stylish boutique hotel. Housed in a converted stone convent, it exudes understated class with a decor that elegantly pairs original trappings with a clean, modern aesthetic. Stone arches and wood beams feature alongside discreet mod cons and minimalist furniture in the cool, pared-down rooms.
Similarly impressive is its contemporary in-house restaurant, Osteria Eat Out, and a gorgeous subterranean spa snuggled within 1st-century Roman ruins.
