Nun Assisi Relais & Spa Museum
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if the spa is the point of your trip and the budget allows: guests love the underground Roman-style baths, and the Basilica of Saint Francis is about 16 minutes on foot. For most visitors, our other two Assisi picks score nearly as well for a fifth of the price.

This is our Luxury pick for Assisi. It suits couples planning a special occasion who want a 5-star base with a proper spa and a walkable route to the main basilica. Family rooms are listed, so it can also work for families with a generous budget.
Skip it if you mostly want a comfortable room for sightseeing. At €642 a night in our reference check, it cost several times the price of our other picks, which both score close to 9.
Location and getting around
The address is Via Eremo Delle Carceri 1A (Piazza Giacomo Matteotti). Guests rate the location 9.5 out of 10.
San Damiano is about 1 km away, roughly 13 minutes on foot. The Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi is about 1.3 km, around 16 minutes. These are straight-line estimates, and Assisi's streets may make the real walk longer.
The Papal Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels is 3.5 km away, about 44 minutes on foot. That is far, so plan on a taxi or public transport for it.
What guests say
The hotel scores 9.2 out of 10 from 136 guest reviews, joint 1st of the 4 eligible hotels we compared. The review base is small, so treat the score as a good sign rather than a settled verdict.
The spa is the clear highlight. Guests describe underground Roman-style baths with pools and saunas. The staff also earn praise for being friendly and professional, with helpful local recommendations.
Our data shows no recurring guest complaint. That does not mean there are none, only that none stood out in the summary we have. The obvious tradeoff is price.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price was €642 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov) for 2 adults in one room. It is not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.

Why it made our top 3
