Assisi is best known to be the birth place of Italy’s patron saint, St. Francis. This religious area contains many churches and medieval buildings that give this place its uniqueness. The town also holds historical and artistic significance with its many beautiful murals that tell us stories of a different time. Perhaps the most interesting time to be in the town would be in May during the Calendimaggio where people dress up as if they were in the medieval ages. The festival also includes theater shows, concerts, dances, processions, archery, crossbow, and flag-waving displays. Assisi is such an interesting place to visit, you’ll need to find a great place to stay as well to complete that perfect trip. With that, here are the best Vrbo vacation rentals in Assisi, Italy.
