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.
THE APARTMENT The apartment has two double beds and a futon and is ideal for up to 5 people. Please note that due to the nature of the original structure, the holiday home is not suitable for people with disabilities.

Excellent communication and smooth check in. We loved the apartment and the location was perfect, quiet but still close to everything. The outdoor area was fantastic and the views spectacular! Really comfy bed. We would definitely stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
I truly can't say enough good things about my experience. Staying with my family was wonderful, and honestly, I wish we had extended our visit! The house is absolutely charming, beautifully maintained, and equipped with thoughtful amenities like a combination washer and dryer—perfect for leaving clothes just damp enough to dry overnight. Alessandra was incredibly attentive and made us feel so welcome every step of the way. Plus, she's a fantastic host. I definitely plan to book this place again next time!
Everything was perfect. The house with its excellent facilities and many personal touches to the kindness of our lovely host Allesandra. She made our few days in gorgeous Assisi even more wonderful.

Sometimes you meet truly special guests, who are a real pleasure to meet. This is what happened with Russell and Deanne, whom I thank for choosing my home to return to Assisi after more than 40 years. Their kindness and affability will remain in my heart as I wait to welcome them again.
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.
Communication with Alessandra was excellent both before and during our stay.The apartment is fully equipped with everything one could want. It is very tastefully decorated and the view of the countryside from the terrace is stunning. Available parking for one car on site is a nice bonus.The place is also within walking distance of all Assisi monument and restaurants.I would highly recommend booking this place.
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.

So happy you enjoyed my apartment.
I really loved meeting you and hope to host you again.
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.
Alessandra was so easy to communicate with and she offered many helpful tips and recommendations regarding our stay in Assisi. She even came late in the evening to help us with linens for the futon. This home has a king bed and a queen bed. The futon was thin and not comfortable but the beds were great and there is room for 4 people if you double up. The home was very clean and inviting and Alessandra was great to work with. I would recommend this home and highly recommend this host.

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.

Beautiful Apartment with Incredible Views
I have booked apartments in Italy through VRBO on many occasions with good results. Alessandra's apartment and the overall service she provided is far and away the best experience I have had! The apartment is inside the old wall of Assisi which allows easy access to all of the tourist and/or pilgrimage destinations for which Assisi is famous. The listing for the apartment is very accurate with one exception. The outside veranda is even more amazing than the listing pictures show. It is furnished with multiple pieces of new patio furniture, a large table and chairs for dining and relaxing outside, and an oversized umbrella to protect against the mid day sun. The views of the valley from the veranda are breathtaking! Inside the apartment was comfortably furnished, the kitchen is furnished with new and modern kitchen appliances, and the bathroom is spacious and well equipped. High quality linens, towels, etc. are provided throughout. And the air conditioning really works!!! But possibly the best aspect of our stay was the warm and welcoming service provided by Alessandra and her husband. The apartment was stocked with all the little things needed when arriving. Any questions or issues we had were answered immediately as Alessandra let us know that she was available at any time. I would highly recommend Alessandra's apartment to everyone. If I return to Assisi for another stay, I will not even look anywhere else!

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!
