This was an absolutely wonderful place. Lots of space and the location was perfect. Arnaldo, our host, was excellent, responsive, and very helpful. We had a terrific time!
1. Assisi is a beautiful medieval town bursting with ambiance and history. The views from just about anywhere in town are gorgeous.
2. Parking in the city is reserved for residents only. That meant our parking was 600 meters away. At first, this seemed inconvenient, having to walk 600 meters back and forth. What about hauling groceries? By the third time I walked to get the car or walk back to the house, I rather enjoyed the walk, for it’s probably the only level street around, lined with tall slender Italian Cyress trees on both sides, and a wonderful view of the surrounding landscape. In other words, the walk was relaxing and peaceful, fitting in quite well with the whole flavor of the town ‘s motto ‘Pace e Bene’ – Peace and Goodness. Further, unloading groceries was easy as I just parked near the gate and hauled the groceries the 50 feet to our house, then drove back to the parking lot. Thus, all-in-all, parking was not a problem.
3. Internet – worked great all the time.
4. The house itself: lots of stairs. I mention this only for those who consider climbing stairs an issue. The kitchen is well equipped, and the dining room table is large enough to accommodate 8, so plenty of room.
5. The house has no living room. That was a non-issue for us as we tend to congregate in the dining room as a norm.
