Accommodations


 
San Crispino Historical Residence is composed of seven independent apartments named after the elements of the Canticle of Creatures: Mother Earth, Sister Moon and Stars, Beatitude, Brother Fire, Sister Water, Brother Sun, Brother Wind.
Each unit has been realised with masterly skill in the most evocative parts of the building, respecting medieval arches and walls (even the roofs are made of ancient pantiles) in order to keep the charm of the past alive for those who wish to experience the traditions and history of this magic town.

The preservation of the original terraces and openings allows a wide and evocative view of the ancient streets and churches of Assisi and of the green Umbrian valley.
The view is comparable to the best postcards and pictures. The windows are decorated with magnificent frescoes which have been partly restored and partly remodelled by the best Umbrian painters who adopted the same Giottesque technique used for the Basilica of St. Francis: in this way, a harmony has been created between the old and the new, the past and the present.
 
Both in the entrance way and in the two gardens (a 500 sq. metre garden and another 250 sq. metre garden on the first level), you feel protected by a warm embrace: you are surrounded by ancient medieval and roman walls, you are safe from winds blowing from every cardinal point, but, at the same time, you can observe a limitless landscape, a real blue sky over you which seems to open your heart, mind and soul. The seven apartments have been created with ancient styled furniture, paintings, carpets and curtains in order to make your holidays in San Crispino unique and unforgettable. You can experience the pleasure of eating on a Frantino-styled table or sitting on a walnut choir bench; you can illuminate your apartment by using lamps made out of ancient wooden candlesticks and wrought iron candle-holders of hundreds of years ago; at the same time, you can enjoy the, telephone, safe-box, buzzer, hairdryer, cooking facilities, fridge, comfortable sunchairs to enjoy the sunshine on the terraces or in the private gardens.
