Teverina BassaSpello Medieval City Beautifully restored houses and apartments in the historic centre of Italy's most perfect, small walled city. Spello is the next town east of Assisi on the side of Monte Subasio in Umbria. It is a classic hill town mainly dating from the middle ages, famous for its 'infiorata' in June when all of Italy seems to come here to see the flower 'paintings'. It is just ten minutes from Assisi and is itself a "Citta d'arte". With narrow streets with small shops and artisan workshops, it is considered to be the most perfect example of an Italian City of the middle ages. The places we offer are in the upper part of the town below the city wall. Restaurants, cafes, shops are all within a few minutes walk. One of the apartments is set within the walls of an ancient convent and seven others are just across the via Giulia in an old palazzo. Because of the nature of the hillside, most have extensive views of the valley and hills beyond (snow capped in winter).

Ca' Spadolino is a well appointed town house with the entrance door up a flight of steps from the narrow street. More stone stairs lead to living room with large arched windows, dining area/sitting room and a small but complete kitchen. On the next floor are two double bedrooms, one with ensuite, and a separate bathroom. A few more stairs lead to a small study which can take a single bed. There is a roof terrace with panoramic views of the town and the montains all around. Air conditioning is available at extra charge (not usually needed). There is a permanent internet connection, phone and satellite TV. Casa Giardino (photos right) is a totally independent house with a small garden. In reality it is the top level of a larger building built against the hillside and is approached by a pathway, partly stone steps. It is an elegant, very well designed, one bedroom house with a double sofa bed in the spacious living room which has a kitchen at one end. The wall of the garden is the ancient city wall. There are terrific views over the red tiled roofs of Spello to the valley and mountains.
