🕰️ Our Story

A Quiet Corner of Assisi

Tucked in the peaceful streets of Assisi, Ostello della Pace has, for many years, welcomed travelers seeking simplicity, warmth, and the contemplative spirit that defines this hilltop town.

Simple Beginnings, Open Doors

Born as a modest, budget-friendly lodging, the hostel grew with Assisi itself—hosting pilgrims walking the Via di Francesco, students on weekend trips, and backpackers exploring Umbria’s landscapes and medieval streets.

Preserving the Spirit of Assisi

As hospitality trends evolved, Ostello della Pace stayed true to its character: essential comforts, friendly service, and shared spaces that encourage conversation. Stone walls, quiet corners, and a relaxed pace reflect the town’s centuries-old rhythm.

A Place Defined by Place

Our location makes it easy to experience Assisi’s everyday life and its treasures—
the Basilica of St. Francis, Rocca Maggiore, and winding lanes lined with artisan shops and cafés—all within pleasant walking distance. With regular buses from Santa Maria degli Angeli (train station) and links to Perugia, it’s a practical base to explore Umbria.

What It Means Today

Today, Ostello della Pace continues its mission: affordable, authentic, welcoming stays. We’re small and unpretentious—rich in character rather than luxury—offering a calm base where guests can slow down, meet kind people, and feel a little closer to the spirit of Assisi.
