This October we are planning a 12 day western Sicily trip then a few days in Venice. En route to Rome by bus or train we would like to spend 3 or 4 days at a smaller town/city to relax and leisurely visit a few sites. Would Assisi or Spello fit the bill? We have been to Orvieto which is lovely.

Perugia. A few miles away from Assisi, good rail connections thru the region, also a regional bus center.

Spello is a wonderful small city to visit. We spent two weeks there, and did day trips all over the area.Wonderful restaurants too.You can see Assisi from Spello. Spello feels much more real than the Vatican rehabbed city of Assisi.
Perugia is a large city high up on a hilltop.
Stay in Spello!
