Practical tips

In summer you can make the most of the farmhouse pool and evenings outdoors, while periods such as Christmas, Easter and the main religious festivities offer especially atmospheric events and celebrations.
• Where to stay: farmhouses on the hills around Assisi for spectacular views and peace and quiet, or in the valley if you want to move easily towards Perugia and the other nearby villages. Consider properties with a swimming pool if you travel with children or during the hottest months.
