Serviced Apartments in Assisi

A serviced residence or apartment rental in the birthplace of St. Francis, situated in the Umbria region of Italy, allows you to discover the history of the Franciscan Religious Order founded here in the 1200s as well as exploring the abundance of rich, religious architecture that peppers this delightful town.

A good place to start your tour is The Basilica of San Francesco d’Assisi, also a World Heritage Site. The site consists of a lower and upper church and the Sacro Convento Franciscan Monastery. The basilica houses the Sala delle Reliquie which contains some of St. Francis’ items from his lifetime including The Book Of Life which he himself wrote as well as his sandals and tunic. You can view scenes depicting his life in the frescoes adorning the walls of the upper church, Basilica Superiore and the lower church, Basilica Inferiore, boasts late medieval frescoes although, sadly, this church suffered some damage in an earthquake in the 1990s and one of the frescoes was lost along with the lives of four people when part of the structure collapsed.

Take a short stroll from your holiday apartment or aparthotel in Assisi to Santa Maria delle Rose where you will discover 33 statues of the Virgin Mary carved from various woods from around the world. Each statue represents a year of Jesus’ life and depict a different phase of Mary’s life. You will see her pregnant with child, kneeling in prayer and carry the young Jesus. There is also a small, ceramic Mary statue which you can hold to aid meditation and prayer. Just beautiful.

A short walk into town from your Assisi service apartment or holiday let will allow you to view the Foro Romano. These Roman ruins lie beneath some of the unassuming shops on the town square and often the shop owners will open their basements and cellars to enable the public to view the remains.
