Good time-out town

Haven't been to Assisi, but would also highly recommend Orvieto. Super easy to access via train and a beautiful and amazing town. Facinating Etruscan caves underneath the town, tours twice a day. Etruscan tombs just outside city walls. Duomo is awesome. Wonderful juxtaposition of a modern, prosperous town in an ancient covering. They even have a cyber cafe. Orvieto Classico - great fruity, white wine. Outstanding restaurants - many in caves beneath the town. Lots of interesting artists. Not very touristy - a favorite Roman weekend getaway place. Civita di Bagnoregio nearby NOT to be missed! We stayed in Hotel Palazzo Piccolomini for 3 nights - a 4 star for under $100US/night. Buono viaggio!
