Fodor's Expert Review Nun Assisi Relais & Spa Museum

Within walking distance of Assisi's restaurants and shops, this monastery built in 1275 has been converted into a thoroughly contemporary, high-end place to stay with a fabulous spa carved out of 2,000-year-old Roman baths. Most suites are furnished in sleek, minimalist style, with neutral colors; the three Privilege Suites feature frescos or exposed brick walls. The atmospheric Nun Spa Museum includes limestone pillars dating from the 6th century AD along with gorgeous pools of varying temperatures plus an oversized steam room, cold room, and sauna.
