Town House Suite Palazzo Minciotti - Assisi

About Town House Suite Palazzo Minciotti

exterior Welcome to our family owned and operated vacation apartments, located in a historic palazzo in the center of Assisi, a town famed for its ancient atmosphere.

The building overlooks Piazza San Rufino and is directly across from the breathtaking façade of Assisi's cathedral, San Rufino. This Romanesque church is one of the most beautiful in Umbria, and this is where St. Francis was baptized.

With its enviable panoramic position and inimitable hanging garden, the palazzo is a gem just waiting to be discovered by art lovers who want something with a truly unique touch.

Though the four vacation apartments have been set up to reflect the old structure of this historic building, they have been renovated completely to offer guests an inviting and delightful spot for a relaxing holiday.

All the apartment windows afford unique, fascinating vistas: some overlook the luxuriant Umbrian valley and the cathedral bell tower, while others face the Rocca Maggiore and Minore - Assisi's fortresses - and still others open onto the flourishing garden, with its ancient stone walls and hushed internal alleys.

There is a large garden area with a delightful little swimming pool and a lawn extending over three levels. It is surrounded by plants and rosebushes that create a timeless aura of old-fashioned scents, the colours of long ago and, most importantly, a true sense of peace and spirituality.
