Let yourself have another glass of Orvieto or slice of Castagnaccio, a chestnut cake, and then take your time to stroll back to your central Assisi apartment.

Assisi with the family
Gone are the fast-food and coffee chains, bustling motorways and skyscrapers of urban life; relax in peaceful Assisi and embrace nature. Walk the streets and you will stumble upon a traditional Italian musical performance or a more contemporary exhibition. If you and your family are hot and bothered from cycling or hiking in the mountains, how about cooling down in Lake Trasimeno, which is just over an hour’s drive away. One of the main draws for staying in Assisi is its access to the rest of Umbria. Rent a car and daytrip to some of the other towns and villages in the local vicinity, such as Pergugia, Orvieto, Norcia, Gubbio and Spoleto.
