Assisi and Umbria
Assisi is not just the backdrop to Nun. It is the city that holds it. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to Saint Francis and Saint Clare, painted by Giotto and Cimabue. Beyond the walls, Umbria opens out: the green of Monte Subasio, the medieval villages, the olive trees that have watched centuries pass. All a few steps from the door.
Among the stones of Assisi, time grows slow. The light passes through centuries. And beauty, here, does not pass.
A medieval city built in the pink stone of Monte Subasio, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Basilica of Saint Francis with its fresco cycles by Giotto and Cimabue, the Basilica of Saint Clare, the Temple of Minerva, the two fortresses that watch over the valley. Above, Monte Subasio with its trails. Below, the ancient Roman Asisium whose pillars still stand in the Nun spa. All within a few minutes' walk from the relais door.
Umbria begins a few kilometers from Assisi. Medieval villages held high on the hills, Sagrantino vineyards at Montefalco, olive mills in Trevi, the black truffle of Norcia, the waters of Lake Trasimeno. A region you discover slowly, with the calm of a place that never had to chase its history: the history is already here.
The NUN Experiences
A stay at Nun is also a way of entering the territory. Truffle hunting at dawn, Umbrian cooking classes, cellar tastings, yoga in the monastery garden. The experiences shaped by Nun open doors you would not find on your own.
