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.

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.

Casa Spello was 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 Cleopatra apartment sleeps up to 4, two in double bed and two in couch. This unit is as intriguing as its name; it is a “monolocale” - one large open space which comprises a bedroom and living room space – a small kitchenette complete with most amenities – a small dining room area. The ceiling in the green tiled bathroom is carved into the rock. A second apartment doorway gives direct access to the garden.

For larger parties, the Mark Anthony (1 BR, sleeps 4) and Cleopatra (large studio, sleeps 3) apartments can be opened to each other. This creates a contiguous space of approximately 1,300 square feet.


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

This apartment was exactly what I expected. Quite and just outside the hustle and bustle of the festival crowds. The shared patio faces the setting sun and is surrounded by fruit trees and flowers.

Spello review
Spello review
The apartment we stayed in was the ground floor one of several in the complex , and perhaps the most compact. As such, it is really only suited to either single or a couple occupancy as space is restricted in this apartment because the inner half is a former storage cellar and not particularly useable.. What the apartment does have, one of its saving graces, is direct access to a pleasant garden area , although in either mid winter or mid summer this would be of little use in practical terms. Quite well equipped (the only suggestion we might offer is to consider good quality, cotton rather than synthetic sheets & bedding) , it might be more a place for shorter stays rather than longer ones, and as such offers a central base to explore the remarkably restored and pristine township that is Spello. And finally, we would like to extend a ‘thank you’ to the ‘manager’ of these apartments, Nadia, who is a warm and efficient host and very happy to share her local knowledge. Thank you.

Beautiful apartment in a breathtaking location.

The apartment was everything we needed and more. Gina and Nadia were always very easy to reach for any questions and booking was quick and simple. Do be aware that it requires some walking on uneven, steep cobble stone roads to to get to and from the apartment. Nadia was a dear and helped with luggage though. Hoping to stay here again someday!

The reviews are bang on - a great experience!

Our 4 days in Spello were amazing. No need to repeat everything the other reviews have said, except to highlight that Spello is a beautiful hilltop town, and well located for many other interesting visits in the area. The Cleopatra apartment is perfect for a couple, with direct access to the lovely garden with it’s spectacular panoramic view and magnificent sunsets. (There are 3 other apartments for larger groups.). Gina is very attentive to her guests with great tips and recommendations, and invited us with other guests for a great dinner in a small restaurant in Collepino. She also referred us to an amazing cooking lesson in nearby Montefalco. With so much to see and do in the area, we’d love to go back for a more extensive stay!

Incredible experience ! We knew within 24 hours we would want to return ! We would not have had the same trip with out Gina ! She introduced us... and showed us places and experiences we would not have had on our own ! She made us feel welcome, like "family" and we absolutely adored her company. It was wonderful to meet other guests as well that were staying in other apartments. The apartment was so charming, and the garden views were spectacular ! We loved the entry way and walking out the door to see it all ! So close to town and easy to grab fresh morning bread from the bakery (highly recommend this !)..or a quick ingredient for a home cooked meal ! All the necessary amenities and more. The decorations are fantastic and so authentic Italy. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with everything you could need ! Nadia was wonderful as well and saved our forgotten camera outside and graciously extended the use of her umbrella for the week ! (Thanks Nadia ! ) I would think there is no better place in Italy to stay ! Spello will forever have a special place in our hearts thanks to Gina and Casa Spello <3

We really enjoyed our four night stay in Casa Spello. It was a great base for our travels to Assisi, Orvieto, Perugia, and dinner in Collepino. Gina provided recommendations to aid our decision-making on what to see during our short visit to Umbria. Spello itself is lovely and we could have stayed there the entire time enjoying the slow pace, the friendly people, and the delicious food and wine. Like other medieval towns, it requires physical stamina to manage the hills but we'd go back in a minute!
