Le Silve di Armenzano di Assisi
A fantastic small hotel and former pilgrimage waypoint in the middle of nowhere. Absolutely worth the 20-minute drive from Assisi. Read More
Via di Francesco 1: Valfabbrica to Assisi
Valfabbrica to Assisi
14km, Ascent 550m / Descent 330m
Starting from the village of Valfabbrica, the signs of Via Roma and Via di Francesco are easy to find and encouraging. It reminds me of the Jakobsweg / Camino de Santiago which I walked two years ago. Read More
