Augustus - Hilltop Medieval Escape with Panoramic View

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.

Lovely location in town, comfortable apartment, well equipped kitchen and comfortable living area. Gina and Nadia were very helpful and a pleasure to communicate with and there were lots of wonderful suggestions about exploring the area and restaurants. Spello is a remarkable town, full of life, very clean and well located for day trips!!

Great view of the Umbrian valley and easy access (5 min walk) to restaurants and shopping. The apartment we enjoyed was well equipped and clean, with lots of room for 2 people.

What a Gem! Perfect location with a Killer View! Beautiful 2 level apartment within the castle walls of Spello. Our apartment was absolutely charming with tons of character and only a few blocks down or up to food, bars, shopping and most importantly....gelato! This town even has a wonderful Enoteca. Our hostess Gina was fabulous. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area and places to go and we were never disappointed. We will never stay anywhere else when we return to Umbria Region!

AS SOON AS I WALKED INTO CASA SPELLO (TIBERIUS APARTMENT), I WAS ENCHANTED. HERE WAS A 700 YEAR OLD BUILDING (FASCINATING!) THAT HAD BEEN METICULOUSLY RESTORED WITH ALL MODERN CONVENIENCES AND COMFORTS. WE LACKED NOTHING! BE SURE TO HAVE AS MANY COFFEES AND LUNCHES ON THE GARDEN TERRACE - IT IS BREATHTAKING . FILLED WITH FLOWERS AND A GORGEOUS VIEW, YOU'LL WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME OUT THERE. AND GINA AND DAN ARE THE PERFECT HOSTS - THEY INTRODUCED US TO SOME LOVELY PLACES, WHERE WE HAD AMAZING MEALS, GAVE LOTS OF GOOD ADVICE ON WHERE TO EAT AND VISIT, ETC. WE TRAVEL A GOOD BIT, AND THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF OUR BEST VACATIONS EVER! THANK YOU, GINA AND DAN.

Beautiful apartment! Even better than in the pictures. Apartment is clean, spacious and has Avery we'll appointed kitchen. It is beautifully decorated and the beds are very comfy! Nadia, was warm and friendly and very helpful when we arrived. The views from every room are lovely. I would definitely stay here again.

My mom and I had a trip of our lifetime last month to celebrate her 70th birthday. Spello was absolutely charming. And it was so perfectly situated to other beautiful towns. We just couldn't even squeeze in everything we wanted to do in 2 weeks. Casa Spello was an ideal spot for us. As we walked up our first night we realized that it is actually built into the wall of the city, which means it has a supreme view. We bought local pastas and produce and cooked in the kitchen. We were in a lower unit, the Mark Anthony, and it stayed amazingly cool. Many of our meals were in the lovely garden, with the view. Nadia was wonderful, helping us with all of our questions and treating us like old friends. And Gina was great, also answering all of our many questions ahead of time (we are not world travelers so had a lot of them!) I would most definitely recommend Casa Spello. Just need to figure out how to get back there again!

We stayed for a month in the Cleopatra (large studio - type apartment). The apartments share access to a spacious garden with terrific valley views & sunsets. The apartments have all necessary amenities & are very spacious & comfortable; boasting architectural charm, inviting atmosphere and a great location near the top of Spello (our favorite Umbria town). The owners were most accomodating, everything was as described and Nadia took great care of us, from getting us settled to making suggestions. We had a wonderful trip, enhanced by this lovely property.

My husband and I could not have been more satisfied with our experience of the apt and of Spello. We were there 6 nights and never could get use to the beauty of the village and the good fortune of finding the apartment. Our place had a large kitchen, laundry room, three bedrooms with gorgeous views out of the two upstairs bedrooms, and two bathrooms upstairs. I loved the beautiful stone walls and the lovingly done and respectful restoration done of what are ancient buildings. This was such a treat that added greatly to our stay in what had to be the most charming town we visited on our trip. Highly recommend!

My family-grandparents, parents and 2 small children enjoyed a week at Casa Spello. The home is beautiful and in an excellent location. The adjoining apartments (Augustus and Tiberius) we rented were spacious and gave us all plenty of space to have privacy as well as be together when we wanted. The 3 1/2 bathrooms sure helped with a large group! The location is excellent, we walked everywhere within the village and were able to drive through Umbria and a bit of Tuscany on different outings. We all had cars, but we had friends that caught the train to Florence, it was very convenient. Gina provides plenty of information about the area and how to make it all work and Nadia is there for any needs while visiting. She was eager to help in any way. Spello is a beautiful little hill town, with friendly people and several good restaurants and cafes to choose from. Thankfully, it is not a tourist trap-it feels very real! Loved our experience at Casa Spello!

It took four years to return to Casa Spello but we are so pleased we did. This apartment is so comfortable that we can relax and feel like we are at home. Nadia was there to welcome us and there is everything you could possibly need provided in this apartment.

My family and I stayed at Casa Spello for a week in April and had the most wonderful time. The proximity to the main square and all restaurants was perfect- we easily walked everywhere! The views from the upstairs unit were beautiful and there is a beautiful garden down below where we could sit and have a glass of wine and enjoy the afternoon. Gina was most accommodating to us - making sure to acquire an extra crib for us as we were traveling with two young children. Nadia greeted us when we arrived and was so helpful and pleasant. I would definitely recommend staying at Casa Spello if you are planning to visit Spello, It's charming, beautiful, and you feel as if you are living in a fairy-tale!

My wife and I stayed in the Marc Anthony apartment in Casa Spello for four weeks in January 2016. Although it was winter time, we were very comfortable in this cosy apartment. It is very well appointed and we had everything we needed for the sort of holiday we prefer - having a home base where we can prepare our own food, set out on day trips and return at the end of the day to a comfortable home.The owner, Gina, provided clear instructions and offered lots of suggestions for dining and sightseeing opportunities. With its two bedrooms, the apartment was big enough to be comfortable even when our son and daughter-in-law visited for a couple of days. There is only one bathroom, so for a longer stay with more than two guests, one of the other apartments in the building might be preferable. The thick stone walls kept us warm and we rarely used the central heating. Coming from a warm part of Australia, we are not accustomed to central heating, and only turned it on a few times to warm the place, then turned it off again. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of blankets and duvets. Spello has many advantages compared to other towns we visited, as it is not only very charming and attractive, but it is also quite lively. Even in the middle of winter there were plenty of shops and restaurants etc open for business, and lots of movement in the streets and bars, particularly on the weekends. Many other places we visited were much quieter. The weather was kind and allowed us to go on lots of walks. Some were long walks to neighbouring towns, but it was also possible to head out along any of the small roads outside the town and enjoy the beautiful countryside. As Spello is on the train line, it is possible to take trips to Rome, Perugia and further afield. Some days we stayed home and enjoyed relaxing in the apartment, strolling around the town and even enjoying lunch or aperitivo on the terrace. The apartment offers views across the valley. The garden would be lovely in the warmer seasons, I am sure. It is difficult to be far from anything in a small hill town, but Casa Spello is very centrally located, with restaurants, shops and bars just around the corner. It is also very quiet and peaceful, as it is situated on the edge of town, with no close neighbours below, and no thorough traffic. I would recommend Spello for a holiday, and I'm sure you would be very happy with the Marc Anthony apartment.

We recently stayed at Casa Spello, located in the hilltop village of Spello in Umbria, near Assisi, for a few days after being in Rome for two weeks. I work for a local lifestyle magazine here in the Bay Area, and have stayed at many charming hotels - but this is different - and better. Casa Spello worked its magic on us the minute we arrived. We took an easy two-hour train ride from the Termini Station in Rome, rolling along scenic terrain with charming hilltop towns dotting the countryside. It is an easy walk into town from the train station at Spello. The caretaker, Nadia, was there to meet us upon arrival and insisted upon toting our suitcases along the charming cobblestone streets. We instantly felt "at home" in Spello. The people are so nice and friendly - very different vibe than in Rome. Casa Spello occupies a prime corner lot in the town of Spello - with sweeping views of the Umbrian Valley. The unit was so well-thought out and cozy. Best news - had all modern conveniences without being intrusive. T.V., wi-fi, well-stocked kitchen - all the modern amenities encased in an amazing medieval home. (NOTE: We were staying at first-rate accommodations in Rome, but, it had nothing on the shower in our unit at Casa Spello. It is a rare and beautiful thing to have a shower that strong in italy!) After Nadia showed us all the conveniences of our apartment, we set out on foot to explore. There are a lot of little stores and restaurants, with breathtaking views at each turn. The town is very manageable to navigate, and has won prizes for having the most beautiful flowered pathways in Umbria. We took an evening drive about 20 minutes away to the hilltop town of Collepino. The La Locanda bar is a MUST - and the local restaurant, Taverna San Silvestro, offered literally some of the best food we had ever tasted. Order the lamb and pasta with porcini mushrooms and truffles, and tell them you are guests of Gina Waldman at Casa Spello. Everyone seems to know and adore Gina! We were treated like family. We had a SECOND dinner that evening in Spello at La Locanda del Postiglione at via Roma 5. Again - never tasted a truffle crepe so delicious in our lives. Hands down the winner of all dinners throughout Italy - and right there in Spello. Again,be sure to mention you are staying at Gina's home at Casa Spello. They will be thrilled. The next couple days, we toured Assisi and Perugia - both just 30-40 minutes away from Spello. Both very quaint and pictures
