Nice location - shame about the timeshare

A June 2004 trip to Assisi by bobcubitt

The town of Assisi is lovely, and so is the area around it, but the Carpedeium timeshare resort is of poor quality.

Nice location - shame about the timeshareBest of IgoUgo

Overview

Assisi is a lovely hillside town steeped in history. There is also some lovely countryside to drive through. The people are friendly.

Quick Tips:

For a nice morning/afternoon drive, try Lake Trasimeno north of Perugia and the Marmore waterfalls near Terni. Only try the day trip to Rome if you have plenty of stamina.

Best Way To Get Around:

Parking in Assisi is difficult so use the resort's shuttle bus or take a taxi. A car is essential for getting around though.

Best Things Nearby:
Assisi town, local scenery.

Best Things About the Resort:
Views from our apartment were stunning, but that's about all there was to recommend the resort. Many apartments stared out on concrete or other apartments.

Resort Experience:
Apartments arranged in blocks of 6 or so. The only real facilities are the pool, tennis court and childrens play area. No restaurant, No shop on site, no night life whatsoever.

Restaurant

Both the restaurants close to the Carpedeum resort offer good food and wine at reasonable prices. They are within 15 minutes walking distance, but it is better to drive as the road is quite narrow and unlit.
