We found a home away from home in Spello, in Urbe.
Superb! The house was roomy and had everything needed to make day to day living easy and comfortable, from the well-equipped kitchen to the washer and rooftop drying rack and clothespins, all of which we used. The house was perfectly located for strolling through the flower-draped streets of Spello to restaurants, shops, gelaterias (!!!), and to the train station. Walter and his daughter made us feel at home from the time we arrived until we reluctantly left. They were quickly responsive via WhatsApp and answered questions about their favorite restaurants that we might not find on our own. They even arranged for us to go out into the countryside to help harvest cornflowers for the famous annual Infiorate di Spello which blankets the streets with intricate and beautiful floral mosaics. Our grown children and 10-year-old granddaughter stayed with us for about a week and a half and we were all very comfortable in the space. A favorite spot for each of us was the spacious terrace with what is certainly one of the best views in Umbria. The canopy sheltered us from the sun and we shared many delicious meals there surrounded by breathtaking views, the cooing of doves, and the air show of the swifts. The location of the town itself is perfect for day trips to Spoleto, Assisi, Florence, or Siena. We stayed a month, and when we left we felt as if we were leaving friends. Walter couldn't have been a better host and the house itself was perfect. We can't wait to return!
