Mark Anthony - Hilltop Medieval Escape with Panoramic View | Apartment in Spello, Umbria

“Gina was very helpful with all the details. We wish we could have stayed longer. The garden area smelled divine. ”

“Short walk to everything you need, great view, wonderful town. And, Nadia was attentive to all our needs.”

“Well equipped apartment, a few minutes from the centre of this lovely town. Plenty of things to do In the local area, smashing holiday.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our 7 night stay at Mark Anthony apartment in May. Spello is a very special town and the apartment is close to everything. Gina, the owner, provided lots of information for our stay, and the "greeter", Nadia, was so helpful and kind. Loved the washing machine! And the layout of the apartment is very comfortable and practical. I had forgotten how "hilly" Spello is and had some issues with my mobility, but as Gina says "the views make up for the climb!" Would highly recommend.”

“We booked for several months (2018 & 2019) in Marc Anthony and were extremely happy with our accomodations. The medieval apt is fully equipped & comfortable. The location to upper active Spello is very close yet still has private gardens with fantastic valley & sunset views. They were accomodating & responsive if we needed anything. Also provided info on places to eat, go & tour. Spello is in central Italy & Umbria. 2 hrs to Rome or Florence, lots of medieval towns for day trips with train station walking distance. Reliable Taxi & car rentals also recommended by Gina. We would definitely stay again.”

“This apartment that opens into the charming garden is lovely and very private. It is comfortable, roomy, spotless and beautifully appointed. The town of Spello itself has a great deal to offer and is not overrun by tourists - you can feel like a local! It is big enough to have great amenities but small enough to feel comfortable. Gina's recommendations as to the best butcher, bakery and restaurants were spot on. Do not miss the aqua duct walk especially in the morning, have cappuccino in Collepino then drive (or walk) up Mont Subasio for stunning views. The many wineries in the area are varied but all have welcoming staffs who speak English and are thrilled to talk about their products. There is so much to do in the valley between Spoleto and Perugia and the train service is excellent. I would not hesitate to highly recommend any of the apartments in Casa Spello. Gina and Nadia took excellent care of us and we look forward to returning.”

“Lovely spot. Close to all the typical tourist sites but also many hidden gems. Fantastic quaint villages to hike and bike to. Great restaurants in town. Apartment was lovely and well appointed but may be a bit of a challenge if you have mobility issues.”

“Our family (two adults, two typically often-hard-to-please teenagers) had a brilliant time at Casa Spello, in Spello generally and in Umbria broadly. Beautiful and character-ful house, astonishingly beautiful town, wonderful scenery, great visiting/holiday option within an easy drive, and lovely, lovely food. The people, especially the locals who helped with the house, were all wonderful.”

“We stayed for 7 nights at Casa Spello and loved Spello. The apartment was wonderful and had everything that we needed and the garden and views were fantastic. Spello has lots of great restaurants and shops and is a good point to access other places in Umbria like Assisi and Montefalco.”

“Via Mura Vecchi No. 1, Angolo Borgo di Via Giuglia, Spello , Perugia (Umbria), 06038, Italy Apartment: Marc Antony 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 neighboring 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 neighbors below, and no through traffic. Strongly recommended!”
