Spello Apartment | Augustus - Hilltop Medieval Escape with Panoramic View

1 Bedroom Apartment in Spello

Casa Spello's convenient location in the heart of the historic center and its outstanding panoramic views are what makes this historic medieval property one of the most desirable in the region. Staying at Casa Spello is an experience. As our guests put it: 'It oozes charm'.
Over 500 years old, Casa Spello is a newly renovated medieval property, located in the historic center of Spello, a hillside village with a rich history which predates Roman times. The property, nestled within the ancient city walls, boasts one of the most panoramic views in all of Spello; on a clear day, you can see the church towers of Assisi, Perugia, Montefalco, Foligno and the rolling hills covered in olive groves and vineyards which surround Spello. Our large garden/orchard, surrounded by an 1800 year old Roman wall, is an ideal setting for al fresco dining, sunset watching over a glass of Montefalco wine, or sipping coffee before the day's adventures.
The property is over 500 years old, restored by a local architect to provide it with all the modern amenities, while preserving its genuine medieval ambiance. It once was a home with two large 'cantinas' (cellars) where the family used to make wine and press their olive oil. It is now available for rent on a short-term or long-term basis.
Originally it was built with hand carved mountain stone - a beautiful peach color stone which came from the nearby Subasio Mountain.
The apartment is elegantly furnished with antique-style and rustic furnishings, and has a fully equipped kitchen for your cooking pleasure. There is also a fireplace. It is tastefully decorated with Umbrian handcrafted fixtures such as hand-blown glass, tiles and hand-painted ceramics from nearby Deruta. This apartment sleeps two to four people. The convenient location of Casa Spello makes it easy to walk to the wonderful local restaurants, markets, boutiques and train station in this quaint village.
For larger parties, the Augustus (1 BR, sleeps 4) and Tiberius (3 BR, sleeps 6) apartments can be opened to each other. The Augustus apartment has direct access to the garden.

Summary: We were lucky enough to stay here for 10 nights in September, and we loved both the accommodation and the location. The accommodation itself (flat 1 Augustus) is a very spacious apartment on 2 levels, with an entrance hall, toilet, kitchen, living room and then on an upper floor a bedroom and bathroom. The rooms were all spacious, and, as the flat is part of a historic building, they were really characterful with lots of exposed stonework. That said, they were well-furnished and surprisingly light and airy considering the age of the building. The apartment has a small balcony which is accessible from outside and from the kitchen, and which was big enough for a seat and a table and 2 chairs, so bigger than we expected and lovely to sit out at. There was air con but we didn't need it, as we found the rooms cool enough with the use of the fan in the kitchen and bedroom. The WiFi was very fast which is a bonus! The flat is obviously where the owner stays when she visits, as there is her stuff in some of the cupboards. The location of the apartment is fantastic, right in the historic heart of Spello, which is an absolutely lovely medieval town in a great location in central Umbria. The location in the town was quiet yet only a few minutes’ walk into the town centre. There are lots of really great restaurants in the town: we ate at 6 different ones and there were others we didn't try. All were good and none were expensive. The owner Gina was very easy to contact, and the local property manager Nadia was also very pleasant and available on WhatsApp, so communication was fine although we didn't need any help during our stay. The town and the location are simply unbeatable, and the accommodation is quality. Really very very good. If we were to criticise anything we would say that (a) the accommodation is a walk uphill from the nearest car park, so not suitable for anyone with mobility problems (b) the mozzies are murderous but luckily there are insect screens in the flat (c) the flat does suffer a bit from road noise as the main dual carriageway road between Spoleto and Assissi passes at the bottom of the hill (the town is on a hill) and some traffic noise does drift up, so it is not silent when sitting outside. That said, the road makes the location great for accessing the rest of Umbria and even Tuscany. There is a large garden but we hardly used it, as we found the balcony enough for our needs. So, overall, spellbinding! We loved it

Summary: We loved everything about this property and town. From the earliest communications, Gina was a great host, and her commitment to a top level experience, was exemplified in Nadia her local support and meet and greet person. Nadia was exceptional in her focus on helping us with whatever was needed. The apartment/house is great, and exactly as shown. Spello itself is now our favourite Italian town/village. It is just the right size - allowing it to be a true local/working town, but also with the number of visitors to provide extra services and exceptional dining experiences. We'll be back!

Summary: It is hard to summarize Casa Spello, to do it in a word I would say Fantastico. This place has all the Italian charm you could want and then some. When you stay in a place that is 700+ years old you are not sure what to expect. Gina, our host has updated this home to include modern conveniences all while keep the charm of a classic Italian villa. First the location is AMAZING. Built into the wall of this hilltop village you have fantastic views from every window of the Umbrian Valley. We spent HOURS looking out over the Italian countryside and had some amazing sunsets. There is also a beautiful communal garden that share the same view. As for Spello, it is the hilltop village that is JUST RIGHT, Not big and crowded like Assisi and not so small there are no services. You will have 40+ restaurants to chose from so there is no need to get in a car to go to dinner, just walk 350 feet to Via Giuseppe Garibaldi (Spello’s Main Street) where there are two restaurants right there. One posh that is rated as one of the 365 best restaurants in Italy and one that is cheap and cheerful. Both are amazing value, actually this is one of the best parts about Spello, just about EVERWHERE is amazing value. You can have an appetizer, a main and a 1/2 liter of house wine for two starting at €25 and you can keep it under €50 even in the posh places. Yes you can spend more if you explore the wine list but don’t be afraid of the “casa vino” (house wine) this area is known for its wine so even the most affordable wines are amazing. Sorry to go off topic a bit but we can not say anything but good about our whole experience with Spello the town. Now back to Casa Spello. The layout is nice with the living, large kitchen and HALF BATH downstairs and the bedroom up with a full bath with dual sinks and ample shower. The kitchen was nicely appointed with gas cooktop, oven and large fridge. The kitchen table was strategical placed in front of the window with the incredible views. The living room had a comfortable L shaped sofa with a daybed and a working fireplace (the weather was far to nice to use). If one needed more space our unit could be combined with another to give you 2+ bedrooms. Gina has an in-town manager who was wonderful and can give you as much help as you need such as a tour of Spello with her lifelong residency, she knows everyone. Needless to say we REALLY ENJOYED our stay and would highly recommend.

Summary: Italian Hilltown stay: Our stay at Casa Spello was even more delightful than we had anticipated. Our apartment was Tastefully decorated —it felt like our Italian home away from home. Communication with the owner Gina was always timely and friendly. Nadia , the on-site manager, is wonderful. She was readily available to help us in anyway we requested. The setting of the facility is storybook, with windows opening to a beautiful Italian countryside view, and a sweet garden that included fig trees and grape arbors— perfect for an evening glass of wine. This was truly special stay : 5 stars all around!

Summary: We loved this property, especially our most gracious and generous hosts Gina & Dan! The apartment is well located, clean, well equipped with full kitchen air conditioning, free wi-fi, amazing views, washing machine and garden clothes line for drying clothes. Patio overlooks the entire valley and is quiet and private-off the beaten path. Gina and Dan showed us their favorite spots including driving us to a special restaurant and sharing our birthday/anniversary dinner! I highly recommend this property! Grazie Grazie!!!!!

Summary: This apartment had awesome views from the windows, good Wifi, and spacious and comfortable rooms. The kitchen was great as it allowed a break from eating out all the time. Spello itself is a very beautiful city. You will definitely enjoy the stay. The only little inconvenience is the parking in that it's far away. But it's a nice walk. Can't complain.
