Leaving Florence and going to Cortona, Perugia and Assisi all by train. Looking to find for quaint hotel accommodations in all 3 towns that don't require renting a car to get to the hotel. Any thoughts?

What do you mean by "quaint?"

I guess I mean something that is representative of the area I'm in. I don't want the type of hotel we see in the states. I want something that is old, and part of the area I'm staying in.

Old world would probably be a better word to describe the type of accomodations I'd be interested in.

I have been in Assisi in Hotel Cenacolo. Is a marvellous 4 stars hotel with very good restaurant with tipical umbrian cuisine. Very very beatuiful hotel with a great service and is very close to Assisi train station ( 5 minutes walkin ).

We are looking for the same thing . . . in Assisi & Cortona . . . we are looking thru Rick Steves recommendations, but we have friends that LOVE "Monastery Stays" . . . it's super cheap, clean, safe . . . they look thru the website to find the convent they like and then they book directly thru the convent instead of Monastery Stays . . . TripAdvisor had good reviews of them too. Some of the nuns don't speak English, but they've never had any issues at all. And they truly are 'Old World'

Camere Annalisa Martini is a wonderful gem located near the main piazza (Piazza del Comune) in Assisi. I loved staying here in summer 2014. Perfect location right in the middle of the town. Owners are fabulous and friendly!
