Pros: The colors of the bedroom walls and the colors of the hillside. Cons: The obstacle course, uh I mean road, leading up to the Palazzo.
I wasn't going to do it. I wasn't going to share with you the secret of my favorite hotel in Italy if not the world, but for aplatt's heartfelt plea. He reached out to me - one hotel connoisseur to the another, and I caved. So if you do indeed...
Pros: Assisi is a beautiful hill town in a breathtaking region. Cons: Motor coaches filled with day visitors.
Recently I took a trip to Italy with my mother. I had an "important" birthday last October and my parents gave me a trip to celebrate but we decided that spring was the time to go and I decided I needed to see Italy.
Pros: Legendary place and an easy to get to one. Cons: Crowded, may be too hot in summer
Join the crowds of piligrims! Assisi was another of the highlights of my trip to Italy. Arriving there I have tried to remember what I knew about the city. It is not that famous as Rome or Venice is, surely. The only thing I could get hold of inside my...
Pros: Beautiful medieval streets and architecture Cons: Like most of Italy, crowded and touristy
On a summers day, Assisi is packed with hundreds of buses winding up and down the narrow streets of this popular hill town. Tour groups stand in clusters or travel in packs under their colored caps or pennants, like children on a summer camp field trip....
Pros: Too many to mention Cons: I don't live there
I just returned from my first trip to Europe, from Italy to be more exact. You know how when you leave someone you love, the next day you start to have withdrawals? Well, I am presently going through that with 28 people. I went to Rome and Assissi...
Review Topic: Sights & AttractionsHigh on a hill overlooking the largest valley in the landlocked Italian state of Umbria, the old village of Assisi is peaceful and beautiful in...
Pros: A chance for spiritual renewal Cons: You might be tempted
"Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine...
Pros: Beautiful, nice art, exciting atmosphere, original city plan Cons: if you don't like to walk at all, you won't like this. It is best to walk.
From my title, you may be under the impression that I did not enjoy Italy as a whole when I went. That is completely wrong. Even though it was very dirty in many places, and most of the famous tourist sites seemed to be grossly neglected, I loved it....
Pros: Beautiful, traditional expierience of Italy. Cons: Great Catholic expierience, if you are Catholic. If not, then not so much.
I went to Italy about two summers ago with a group from my high school. I loved Italy and had a great time there, especially with all the gelato we ate, but I didn’t really have any idea abo...
Pros: A step back in time. Scenic vistas are outstanding. Historical sites. Townspeople friendly. Cons: Crowded during day. A little pricey. Main streets touristy.
We drove to Assisi, which was interesting. I'd heard horror stories about driving in Italy, but it really wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined. It took us a couple of hours to get to Assisi from Florence, and sadly, most of the drive was unremarkable in ...
Pros: A jewel amongst many in Umbria Cons: In the Summer it is so full of Tourists
As someone who has lived many years in Umbria can I make some reccomendations?
In Assisi you must find the time to go up to "Le Prigioni" (The prisons). You will need a car or you can hike the way up the hill but it is worth it. This is a...
Pros: Beautiful and enchanting Cons: Not much to see Historically wise
Let me start by saying that you will see that I have written about many places in Italy, I went on a tour with a group called TRAFALGAR! Let me tell you that all of Italy was beautiful as well as Assisi. I took a 2 week tour of all of Italy and stoped...
