La “Casa di Famiglia” really is our “Family Home", built by our ancestors by an olive grove owned by the family for centuries. It is a limestone and brick villa and has been recently restored. Our private parking is next to the olive grove, with fruit trees and shady spots to relax outside. The location is strategical, just outside the medieval city wall: using an escalator you will reach in less than 5 minutes Porta Nuova, the entry to the old town, avoiding circulation and parking problems. The location is convenient also for those without a car, having a bus stop less than 50 meters away. The Basilica of St. Francis is reachable in 15 minutes by foot or only 5 minutes by bus. Other important sites such as the Sanctuary of San Damiano, the Basilica of St. Claire or the main square of Piazza del Comune are 10 minutes or less of walking distance. Recently our home was visited also by walking pilgrims. Especially if you book during low touristic season, there will surely be room available.

We are a traditional Umbrian family, we love our region but also love traveling and knowing other cultures. Our children are often away for study and experiences in Italy and abroad (Claudia speaks two languages and Flavio five) to build their future. We live on the top floor of the house and in 2014 we began to rent two tourist apartments. We are dedicated to cultivating our olives trees from which we get organic extra-virgin oil that you can sample. We also prepare some soap using our own oil and lavender flowers.

Assisi deserves the trip! In every season you will find not only art, history and a spiritual atmosphere famous all over the world, but also nature, folklore and traditional food and wine to enjoy. Umbria is a small region but has lots of art treasures, wonderful landscapes and charming old towns such as Perugia, Spoleto, Spello, Foligno, Trevi, Gubbio, Bevagna, Montefalco, and many others, each with their own character and something to discover. All are reachable in a few minutes by car from “la Casa di Famiglia” and most also by public transportation, because of Assisi’s central location in Umbria. If you seek tranquility and a healthy and authentic pristine lifestyle, this is the place to go. We recommend long stays, since many people who come for a short stay by the end declare they want to come back: they did not have enough time to visit everything! We lived here all our lives and can recommend you many things, depending from your interests. Some examples may be: nature or trekking routes, roman and etruscan archaeology, local wine and food, museums, folklore, cultural and religious events, castles, villages, local crafts, shopping.
