Weekend Assisi Gubbio Spello - Just before Christmas together with a group of friends we decided to treat ourselves to a weekend in Umbria. We left Saturday morning at 6, just over three hours drive from Latina, a very pleasant trip that made us admire the beautiful Umbrian landscapes. Arrived in Assisi we decided to park in the paid Mojano (2 € now) equipped with very convenient escalators that take you directly to the beautiful Basilica of Santa Chiara, from there along the main street for about 1 km walk you can admire the wonderful historic center with other monuments and churches until you get to the church of San Francesco, along the way we also visited the tomb of Carlo Acutis, after about three hours we left for Gubbio, beautiful and characteristic medieval town that like Assisi needs no introduction, having the children in tow we toured the city with a nice train that leaves from Piazza Grande, for dinner we had no few difficulties3a book a restaurant, all full, we were forced to make a few kilometers to taste the Umbrian specialties, in this regard I highly recommend booking the restaurant a few days in advance so as to enjoy this beautiful town without worries and problems. The night we have at the Catignano hotel about three km from Gubbio, three-star structure unpretentious, clean and well heated rooms, mattress and pillows acceptable, TV and fridge, if you want there is the internal rustorantw dive you can dine, booking well in advance I paid 90 euros per night for 2 adults, a child of 12 and one of 6 breakfast included. The next morning we left and along the way we stopped a few hours in Spello, a town famous for its flowers and its beautiful alleys, for lunch we ate some delicious sandwiches with crescia and porchetta cooked at the moment a grocery located in the main square, 3.50 € each, great price in my opinion! Overall, they were two extraordinary days where in addition to admiring the beauties and tasting the Umbrian specialties, we had fun and relaxed! I highly recommend to book everything in advance and well in advance, I lost two hours around Gubbio to find a refreshment worthy of note, the small restaurants in the country do both set menus and à la carte ranging from 15 to 20/25/30 € with different courses and drinks included, a very nice restaurant that unfortunately was sold out is the Picchio Verde, the locals told me very well, and a little isolated from the center but visiting it I found it very nice and cozy, it will be for next time!
