Spello - Umbria
 print
this page
Spello is our favorite hilltown
in Umbria. With a population of about 6,000, Spello is full
of typical narrow streets, vaulted passageways, and a couple
of churches with frescoes by Pinturicchio. The point is the
position and the charm. The whole place is very much on a
human scale and is well-positioned for daytrips throughout
the area. Assisi is just a few kilometers away. Il Molino,
on Spello's main street, is a delightful restaurant. And the
position in Umbria cannot be beat: everything is within minutes.
Each apartment has a telephone,
though calls must be made through a central switchboard. All
apartments have television connected to a satellite. Complimentary
passes for swimming in the town pool are provided in summer.
Giardino
Accommodates 2+1— 1 Bedroom
— 1 Bath
This apartment sits in an excellent
position to enjoy the view. You enter one large room with
kitchen at one end and living/dining area (with single sofabed)
at the other. A separate bedroom has an excellent matrimonial
(twinnable), and the bathroom has full tub with hand-held
shower. The outdoor area is the real highlight, with well-maintained
grounds and a vegetable garden used by the owner, plus comfortable
outdoor furniture for the exclusive use of our clients. About
the only negative here is the fairly steep climb followed
by 26 steps to get into the apartment.
Spadolino
Accommodates 4 — 2 Bedrooms
— 2 Baths
Cà Spadolino is right
on Via Giulia and therefore gets more traffic noise than Il
Giardino. It's not excessive, however, especially as the bedrooms
face the back; perhaps real noise fanatics should consider
something else or bring earplugs. The owners just fixed it
up this year; it's right next to where the owners themselves
live. An easy set of exterior stairs lead into the house,
which is on three levels, with kitchenette and living/dining
room on one level, two bedrooms and baths on another. Plus,
the owners have fixed up a gorgeous roof terrace with breathtaking
views over town and surrounding countryside. Despite the latest
improvements in Ca' Spadolino -- air-conditioning, second
bathroom, washing machine, computer with high-speed connection
-- the price remains one of the lowest we know of for a place
of this quality.
Other nearby apartments
Each accommodates 2 or 2+1
In addition to Il Giardino,
another group of apartments is located down a small lane just
opposite the house of the owner. The one-bedroom apartments
are called Smeraldo and Zaffiro. Two apartments with a loft
bedroom (Corallo and Turchese) are also available, as well
as 3 studio apartments (named Rubino, Perla, and Topazio).
All are spic-and-span with new furnishings and very comfortable
beds. A third person can be accommodated on a single sofabed
in some of the apartments. Kitchens, while simple, are satisfactory
and modern. Bathrooms are new and have full tubs with hand-held
shower. The owners have made arrangements for these apartments
to have access to a nearby grassy area for lounging and al
fresco dining.
