On this upper level can also be found a second living area with comfy sofas and a warming stone fireplace which was originally the kitchen hearth.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa SpinarolaThe city of Umbertide is the closest port of call when it comes to all your necessities thanks to its selection of supermarkets, butchers, pasta shops, chemists, etc). The town also boasts a lovely walk along the River Tiber.
The walled, hilltop village of Montone at a short drive away boasts a handful of excellent restaurants, a welcoming bar, pizzeria, and a fantastic bakery. The town also loves a good festival and hosts jazz, beer, and outdoor film festivals across the summer months.
Perugia is Umbria’s capital and certainly worth a visit, especially as it’s known as the City of Chocolate. Other than stuffing your face with chocolate the city has a great youthful vibe driven by its universities. The city also boasts a litany of historical sights including the so-called Underground City that remains from medieval times. It’s also a great place to escape the summer heat.
Arezzo is steeped in history, so much so that it was one of the major Etruscan Lucumonies before it became a strategic Roman centre and a key part of the Grand Duchy of the Medici family. If you’re visiting on the first Sunday of the month you’ll be treated to one of the oldest Antiques Fairs in Italy, which populates the city’s main square with over 500 stalls. The Piazza Grande itself is a must see regardless, especially the stunning Palazzo delle Logge designed by Giorgio Vasari. Vasari fans will certainly not want to miss out on a visit to Giorgio Vasari’s home, decorated with frescoes and tempera paintings by Vasari himself, this is a time capsule of art history! And if such treasures of art history tickle your fancy, why not also check out the Cathedral of Santi Donato e Pietro which boasts a baptismal font relief sculpted by Donatello.
Another beautiful city you can explore is Città di Castello at approximately an half an hour drive. This eclectic city is made up of medieval, Renaissance and modern homes and shops. Città di Castello boasts markets, restaurants and a vibrant cafe culture inside the original walls. Historic and cultural attractions are bountiful here, with countless museums and art galleries for you to explore, as well as an 11th century bell tower and the home of artist Alberto Burri. There are fantastic Umbrian wineries close at hand, including Lungarotti in Torgiano. One of the prettiest wineries you’ll ever see and the perfect place to take a tour and enjoy a tasting.
Lago Trasimeno is Umbria’s answer to Lake Como, a sprawling lake with three islands and spotted with medieval towns around its edges. Boat tours can take you out to explore the islands, but there is also ample opportunity for water sports such as wakeboarding or kayaking.
Assisi is one of Umbria’s historical gems. Pilgrims the world over flock to Assisi to visit the St Francis Basilica (two cathedrals build on top of each other), which boasts one of the most spectacular interiors you’ll see. The town also includes one of the highest points in the region, providing a great opportunity to get a scenic vantage point (there’s even wild horses to spot!).
