About this apartment rental
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.
Utilities are NOT included in the pricing for bookings of 29 days and more. They are charged separately based on usage.

A lovely property in a beautiful town - very well equipped kitchen. We couldn't find the iron! But that was not a big issue - we're not posh!

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

I recommend this apartment. It is very very large with beautiful stone details and sweeping panaramic views. It is a central and perfect location to explore Spello with close free parking.
