There is another way to be far from home. To find a place where time has come to rest, and let it hold you. Between a monastery and a Roman temple of the waters, Nun holds a different kind of luxury. One made of calm, beauty, and essence.
The Rooms, between silence and stone
Each suite was once a monastic cell from the thirteenth century, and keeps the proportions, light, and details that make it different from the others. Exposed stone, vaulted ceilings, and ancient wooden beams shape silent, sheltered rooms. Some face the rooftops of Assisi and the Umbrian hills, others look onto the cloister's enclosed garden.
A relais suspended in time, between ancient stone and contemporary gestures.
The Temple of the Waters
A thermal circuit among first-century limestone pillars. Tepidarium, Calidarium, Sudatorium, Frigidarium. Heat, steam, silence. Where the sacred waters of an ancient Roman temple once flowed.
Within Roman walls, warmth becomes something older than the word wellness. The body slows, the water holds you, and what was tense begins to let go.
Benedikto Restaurant
On the highest floor of the Relais, broad windows open onto the Rocca Maggiore and Rocca Minore of Assisi, the Umbrian hills, the rooftops, the domes, and the bell towers of the city. A contemporary Umbrian cuisine moves through the day, from a lighter lunch to a dedicated dinner. In the warmer months, the panoramic terrace opens for outdoor dining.
Each dish carries the territory and the season. A kitchen that moves with the rhythm of a stay, from breakfast to dinner.
An Urban Relais
Nun is a five-star luxury hotel set inside the ancient monastery of Santa Caterina, in the historic center of Assisi. Eighteen suites, each one different. The underground spa runs through Roman remains from the second century BC. Above, the restaurant opens onto the Rocca Maggiore and the Rocca Minore.
Here, luxury is made of history and silence.
Not a country estate, not a remote resort. Nun stands in the historic center of Assisi, reachable easily by car without crossing the restricted-traffic zone, with parking only a few meters from the entrance.
From the monastery gate, the basilicas and the streets of the old town are a few minutes' walk away. Behind, Monte Subasio shapes the landscape with its trails. Founded in 1275, the monastery of Santa Caterina was restored with every original element preserved: stone walls, vaulted ceilings, ancient wooden beams, the cloister, and its Hortus Conclusus. On this medieval architecture, a contemporary, essential project that does not compete with what was already there, but heightens it.
