Holiday home for those who like to stop in history and stories

On the top floor of an ancient family home, in the historic center of Assisi, a few steps from the Basilica of San Francesco, Assisi Al4 is a silent and regenerating corner that smells of medicinal herbs in the summer, which I couldn't resist falling in love with .

The interior design is the work of Paolo, my husband.
While my mother, my daughter and I have dedicated ourselves to furnishing.
We have chosen to recover most of the furnishings from my past. The old sideboard, the 70s sofa, the wardrobe, the black and white photos, the lights on the bedside tables and on the walls, the bathroom mirror.
Certainly because I liked them but also because each of them has a story. To tell.


THE HOUSE
The apartment consists of two double beds and a futon, ideal for 5 people.
Respecting the original structure, the holiday home is not suitable for being accessible to people with disabilities.

The large and bright living room is the heart of the house with a comfortable reading area and a spacious library for illustrated books, graphic novels, art books.

The kitchen is equipped, as well as a dishwasher, oven and fridge, with everything needed for the preparation of a rich and tasty breakfast (kettle, toaster, waffle maker and mocha maker).
Upon your arrival you will find bread, milk, coffee, fruit juice, butter, jam, sugar, pasta, tomato sauce, oil and salt; just enough to feel at home immediately.

We have paid particular attention to the sleep of our guests, relying on the professionalism of the experts and the high quality of the Cerguty products.
The bedroom has a king size bed and a spacious and well organized wardrobe, while the mezzanine houses the other queen size double bed. Also in the mezzanine, where the roof becomes lower, there is the fifth bed made up of a futon mattress resting on a tatami.

The bathroom is equipped with shower, bidet, toilet and a spacious sink with mirror.
For linen, we preferred the ideal double sponge for a soft and enveloping drying.
Available for guests hand soap and shower shampoo.
Hidden by a curtain wall is the washer-dryer.

The terrace, surprising for its size and position, is ideal for meditation, yoga, pilates or more simply to converse under the stars with your travel companions accompanying words with a glass of wine with the flavors of our land.


COMFORT
At our guests disposal washer-dryer, iron, dishwasher, oven, induction stove, fridge, hairdryer.
Kitchen equipped with dishes and battery of pots to prepare your meals in complete autonomy.
Available for our guests linen for the bathroom and bedrooms.

We preferred the fast connection to TV, which allows you to easily download and watch movies, series or programs on tablets.

Underfloor heating makes the rooms pleasantly warm and comfortable.
For maximum comfort, the apartment is equipped with adjustable independent air conditioning.

Those who love to experiment with local flavors can rely on the cuisine of a home chef whether natural, tractional or vegan.

Upon request, the day can end with a moment dedicated to reading aloud. For children of all ages.
Our selection of illustrated books, graphic novels and art books is available for guests to read and browse comfortably seated in the bright and comfortable reading corner.

If you want cleaning and laundry service during your stay, you can request it at the time of booking or as needed.

A few steps from the apartment there is a bus stop that connects the structure to Santa Maria degli Angeli and the train station.

You are all welcome!




Assisi Al Quattro, a retreat for those who love to immerse themselves in history and stories.

Situated on the top floor of an ancient family home in the historic center of Assisi, a short distance from the magnificent Basilica of San Francesco, "Assisi Al Quattro" is a haven of silence and regeneration, filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs in summertime : I couldn't help but fall in love.

The interior design is the work of my husband, Paolo, while my mother, my daughter and I are responsible for the furnishings. We have chosen to reclaim most of the furniture from my past: the old sideboard, the 1970's sofa, the wardrobe, the black and white photos, the lights on the bedside tables and the walls, the bathroom mirror… Of course, they were chosen because I liked them, but they were also selected because each of them holds a story. Waiting to be told.

We have taken special care over the sleeping arrangements of our guests, relying on professional expertise and high quality Cerguty products. In the main bedroom there's the king-size bed and a spacious well organized wardrobe, while a queen-size bed and is in the mezzanine, where, under the eaves, you can also find a hidden den with tatami mat, futon.

Well-heated with wall-mounted radiators, the bathroom is equipped with a shower, bidet, toilet and a spacious sink with mirror. Wrap yourself in our bath linens which have been chosen for their softness and comfort. Hand soap, shower gel and shampoo are provided for our guests.
Hidden in a corner is a washer-drier.

The terrace: the highlight of the property. Surprising in both size and position. Ideal for meditation, yoga, pilates or simply to trade stories under the stars with your fellow travelers, perhaps with a glass of wine and some delicious local treats to accompany the words.

Light, Bright and Spacious
We had a wonderful stay. Just a short walk up into the centre of the town. Lots to see, some great walks if you are fit. Alessandra was so easy to contact and helped us out a great deal. The apartment was excellent to stay in. Alessandra left lots of the things you need for an 8 day stay. We highly recommend Alessandras apartment.

We loved our stay in Allesandra's beautiful apartment. The patio and view were absolutely beautiful and where we rested each day with a glass of wine before climbing the hills for dinner.

Exceptional home!
Perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place! Alessandra was an exceptional host - very easy to communicate with, and met us at the house when we arrived. Plenty of space and a beautiful patio that looked out at the Umbria countryside.

Perfection! Alessandra was a delight to deal with.
The location was great. You could go three directions into the heart of old Assisi. Easy in and out to visit other Umbrian villages.

Beautiful house with great location!
From the moment we arrived, owner Alessandra was there for the warmest welcome. Her home is bright and beautiful, perhaps directly proportionate to Alessandra. What a wonderful experience we had there and hope to stay again when we return to Assisi someday. It is walking distance to the center of this historic gorgeous place! And the view from the terrace is breathtaking!

Great host, wonderful apartment
A beautiful home, tastefully furnished, with everything you might need for a short stay. Alessandra was a gracious host who welcomed us warmly and even offered to pick us up at the train station. Staying at her apartment was a great part of our wonderful Assisi experience!

Exceeded our expectations
This condo exceeded our expectations. Everything was excellent - the gourmet kitchen, the quality furniture, the comfy beds, the real art work, the views over Umbria, and the super size deck for al fresco dining and morning coffee. The kitchen had everything that we needed including extra spices and sauces for pasta! Each day after seeing Umbria we collapsed back to the glorious deck and views over Umbria The location is fantastic. Its just a short walk to the everywhere in Assisi. Alessandro guided us up with an easy driving tour of Umbria, and the best wineries to visit. It was absolutely simple to come and go, with private parking and a wide street to enter and exit the city walls. We visited Montefalco, Spello, Bevagna and Perugia. Do not miss the Roman mosaics in Spello, and the archeological sites under Perugia. For Perugia - the sites are part way up the elevator from the parking lot, to walk through a medieval city (and its free). Then under the cathedral we took the English archeological tour - not to be missed. We have stayed in many other VRBO, and this one easily ranks highest. Alessandro is the best host you could have. We would love to stay again.
