Book lovers will feel right at home here, with a huge selection of books to snuggle up on the sofa with. We recommend bringing your children here as there is also a ton of charming children's books to entertain your little ones. There's plenty of floor space for the children to play with toys that are provided by the host, as well as a cosy mezzanine bedroom space for a quick nap on the futon. The wooden beams add a rustic vibe, combined with the minimalistic yet colourful designs throughout the home. Head out to explore more of Assisi and tuck into some authentic Italian meals – maybe with a lush glass of red if that tickles your fancy.
