Housed in a former nunnery, the Nun Assisi is located right at the top of Assisi, which offers a relaxing location far away from the crowds below in the heart of the city. Minimalist in style and furnished in the highest quality furnishings, the lounge area has fresh whitewashed walls, comfy sofas and vibrant modern art pieces as well as a bar where you can have an aperitivo after a day of sightseeing.
Breakfast and lunch can be served inside or out in the patio surrounded by fragrant lavender bushes. The hotel restaurant, Eat, serves high end Umbrian fare and is located in an adjacent building.
Each of the 18 rooms are furnished in high end materials which are in line with the hotel’s minimalistic feel. Although modern in style, some have original stone walls and wooden beams. Some of the suites are located over two levels.
The pride of the hotel is its luxury lower level spa, which is over 2000 years old and propped up by pillars that date back to the 1st century AD.

Some suites are spread out over two floors making them suitable for families or couples looking for more space.
