Cascia Hotels: where to find a hotel in Cascia
Anyone looking for a hotel in Cascia will find properties in three different settings: the historic center, the village of Roccaporena and the rural localities of the municipality. Cascia is the town of Saint Rita. The basilica holds the saint's relics, and next to it stands the monastery where she lived as an Augustinian nun. Her feast day falls on 22 May, but the town receives pilgrims and visitors all year round.
The choice of Cascia hotels mainly includes three-star hotels and a 17th-century residence with frescoed interiors. There are also agriturismi, country houses and B&Bs. The full list of accommodations is on the page where to stay in Cascia.

Cascia hotels: the best areas
To stay close to the basilica, the historic center is the place to look. Palazzo Franceschini overlooks Piazza Garibaldi: it is a 17th-century residence with interiors decorated with 18th-century frescoes. Hotel Cascia, on Viale Cavour, is also a few steps from the historic center and right next to the Basilica of Santa Rita. Cascia's three-star hotels include Monte Meraviglia and Delle Rose. The Sentiero di Santa Rita, heading to Roccaporena, descends right toward the parking lot of Hotel Delle Rose before entering the woodland path. Other hotels in Cascia have a dedicated page: Centrale, Il Quadrifoglio, Villa Stella and Grand Hotel Elite.
Roccaporena is a hamlet of Cascia about 6 km from the center, at 707 m above sea level. It is the village where Rita was born in 1381 and is home to places linked to her life, such as the Scoglio della preghiera (Rock of Prayer), the Casa maritale (marital home) and the Orto del Miracolo (garden of the miracle). Here is Hotel Roccaporena, a three-star hotel run by a religious institution, located at the far end of the village. It has parking and, with the adjacent Casa del Pellegrino La Margherita, under the same management, offers a restaurant and spaces for ceremonies, conferences and group lunches. From Cascia, Roccaporena is a short drive away.
Outside the towns, in the localities of the municipality, the offer changes character. Il Casale di Ginetto, for example, is a country house at Fogliano di Cascia. La Reggia stands in a countryside area a short distance from the historic center. For those who prefer the countryside, the page agriturismo in Cascia lists the farms that offer hospitality. B&Bs are covered on the page B&B in Cascia.
Cascia hotels: map of the properties
The map shows the distance of each property from the two main points of interest: the basilica in the center of Cascia and Roccaporena, about 6 km away. The hotels in the historic center, such as Palazzo Franceschini and Hotel Cascia, are the closest to the basilica and monastery. Hotel Roccaporena, on the other hand, is in the saint's home village, while agriturismi and country houses, such as Il Casale di Ginetto at Fogliano, are in the rural localities of the municipality.
Before booking, it is best to check the exact location and how to reach the property. Travelers without a car should bear in mind that the distances between the hamlets and the center cannot always be covered on foot.
Cascia hotels: how to choose
The first question is the reason for the trip. For a pilgrimage or a visit to the basilica and monastery, staying in the center is convenient. For Saint Rita's sites (the Scoglio, the marital home, the Orto del Miracolo), Roccaporena works well. Those staying in Cascia can still reach Roccaporena on foot via the Sentiero di Santa Rita, which links the two villages: the out-and-back walk takes several hours. Since January 2024 the trail has again been fully passable, after the restoration of the stretch between Roccaporena and the remains of the Molino di Santa Rita (Saint Rita's mill).
Timing matters. The feast of Saint Rita is celebrated on 22 May: the celebrations begin with the novena from 12 May, and on the evening of the 21st Cascia welcomes the Fiaccola della Pace e del Perdono (Torch of Peace and Forgiveness). In the past, during the feast, Cascia's hotels have been fully booked, so for those dates it is best to book well in advance. For the rest of the year the town remains a pilgrimage destination, so there is no real low season.
The category matters too. Many hotels in Cascia are three-star. Groups can look at properties with a restaurant and event spaces, such as Hotel Roccaporena. Those looking for more family-style or rural options can turn to agriturismi and B&Bs.
Cascia was hit by the 2016 earthquake: after the shock of 30 October, the basilica and the monastery were closed as a precaution. Today it is best to confirm directly with the property that it is open for guests and to check access and parking before setting out.
