MEDIEVAL PALACE APARTMENT IN ITALY

The apartment was just as advertised, well equipped and beautifully clean and bright, with the added bonus of lovely artwork on all the walls. It was conveniently situated for shops, trains, buses, restaurants, churches, everything! The English speaking manageress was more than helpful and went out of her way to assist us and quickly and efficiently sorted out our problems and we were transported to and from the airport by a friendly Italian lady taxi driver. It was easy and cheap to use the train to get to Assis, and Perugia although it's a must to check the timetable carefully for return journeys although both stations provide good waiting facilities. Foligno station is a ten minute stroll from the apartment. Spello is also worth a visit and we used the bus just for a change, also cheap and comfortable, but again, check the return timetable although passing time in Spello is no hardship with good facilities and a nice Piazza with a fountain and seats under trees.
There is plenty to see in Foligno too, the Duomo and Museum in the centre with wonderful artwork and frescoes and a walk along the riverside is very relaxing and semicircles the town making it easy to return to the centre for a cappucino and sit outside in the Paizza della Republica when you've had enough walking or go via the Parco del Canape where you can get refreshments too.
It's worth looking down the little side roads for small family run restaurants, the Ostercia dei Picarei and Ocabiocca where Nicoletta the owner speaks good English and delights in talking about her locally grown, organic produce and giving free tourist information and map reading assistance.
I would recommend this property and Foligno wholeheartedly but don't book it when I want to go again.
