Seafood Under the Pergola
Is there anything better than dining under the Umbrian sun? The thick pergola umbrella casts a calm Italian ambiance perfect for those slow dinners with the family that last for hours.

Assisi is a spell-binding jewel, that offers beauty around every corner from the typical hanging laundry from the old-fashioned windows to the cast iron balconies that overflow with flowers.
