The San Rufino apartment is located in a historic palazzo in the centre of Assisi, a town famed for its ancient atmosphere.
The building overlooks Piazza San Rufino, and is directly across from the breathtaking façade of Assisi’s cathedral, San Rufino. This Romanesque church is one of the most beautiful in Umbria, and this is where St. Francis was baptized.
With its enviable panoramic position and inimitable hanging garden, the palazzo is a gem just waiting to be discovered by art lovers who want something with a truly unique touch.
Though the four holiday apartments have been set up to reflect the old structure of this historic building, they have been completely renovated to offer guests an inviting and delightful spot for a relaxing holiday.
All the windows of the apartments offer unique, fascinating vistas: some overlook the luxuriant Umbrian valley and the cathedral bell tower, while others face the Rocca Maggiore and Minore – Assisi’s fortresses – and still others open onto the flourishing garden, with its ancient stone walls and hushed internal alleys.
There is a large garden area with a delightful little swimming pool and a lawn extending over three levels. It is surrounded by plants and rosebushes that create a timeless aura of old-fashioned scents, and most importantly, a true sense of peace and spirituality.
The San Rufino apartment is (115 m2 / 1200 sq.ft.) and offers 3 bedrooms, 2 of which are double, and the other which is a triple. San Rufino is for 7+2 people. All bedrooms are equally spacious. Being on the top floor, this apartment enjoys breathtaking views of the Romanesque Cathedral, which is very well lit up at night, the Umbrian valley with the hills in the distance, as well as the Basilica of St. Clare and the typical rooftops which make Assisi so quintessentially Italian (see photo of the view from this apartment). In this apartment there is a spacious lounge/dining room and a separate kitchen, complete with dishwasher, microwave oven, and all manners of kitchen appliances. Nothing is missing at all in this apartment, because the owners themselves used to live here for a number of years. There are also a bath room with a bath and a shower, with a small separate utility room with washing machine. For the entertainment of the guests, there is a TV, CD player, and many books and games.

Umbria
Umbria is one of the smallest regions in Italy located just east of Tuscany. It is often referred to as the green heart of Italy. With its rolling hills, fields of olive groves, ancient buildings, and stunning landscape once could mistake this region for its neighbour Tuscany quite easily.
There are not too many cities in ancient Umbria which is refreshing and part of its charm. Umbria has retained many of Italy’s old world traditions and it has built up a name for itself as one of the countries slow food regions. It is common to spend 3 hours over one meal whilst in Umbria.
When visiting Umbria one should enjoy exploring cities such as Perugia, Assisi, Spoleto and Orvieto.
Perugia is a very lively city with its famous university for foreigners. It has a thriving art scene and several cultural events and music concerts.
