“

Housed in an old monastery dating back to 1275, the rooms in this hotel have retained much of their original style in their simple, minimalist decor.

Somewhere quiet

Lively Central Quiet Secluded

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

The hotel overlooks terracotta rooftops toward Rocca Maggiore, and medieval stone lanes wind downhill into central Assisi.

The rooms

Eighteen suites keep their thirteenth-century stone vaults and timber beams, furnished with spare modern pieces and marble bathrooms.

The pool

Bring a swimsuit.

The subterranean thermal pool and hydromassage bath sit among excavated Roman stone, lit by rows of candles.

The spa

Private treatment rooms sit under vaulted brick arches, and the tisaneria lounge serves herbal infusions beside exposed stone walls.

The baths

A Roman circuit moves through four thermal chambers, from a warm tepidarium to a cold plunge frigidarium.

Benedikto Restaurant

Seasonal Umbrian dishes and regional wines are served in the vaulted dining room or on the terrace above the town.

How it began

Restoration of the 1275 convent uncovered the limestone pilasters of a first-century Roman amphitheatre buried beneath the cloister.
