The lawned garden is a carefully kept paradise overlooking rolling countryside. Lounge beside the little swimming pool, looking out to the hills beyond (sunset here is a special treat). You'll find romance inside, too - the country kitchen seems like the backdrop of a still life.
This villa nestles against the city walls of Spello, between the gates known as Porta del Mastro and Porta Prato. The cobbled streets of Spello are enchanting, and not usually traversed by tourists. It's most famous for L’Infiorata, a festival in June where the public spaces are adorned with floral street art. The surrounding land is dotted with wineries, providing a true taste of Italian village life.
- Larger parties travelling together may also book the equally gorgeous Villa Giardiniera (sleeps 6). La Casetta (sleeps 2-3) and La Camerata (sleeps 2) are also virtually next door
- The pool is quite compact (3m x 6m) as the property is found in the historic centre where pool sizes are limited accordingly
- There is no parking directly outside the house; however, parking is available just a few minutes away, along a uphill street. Guests may temporarily stop near the property to load and unload their luggage. Please enquire for more information.
- If you are interested in hosting a wedding near Spello, the owner has a beautiful residence just a 5-minute drive away - please see the "Events" tab for more details.
