We visited Spello a year earlier and found Spello, nearby towns (like Montefalco, Bevagna, and Assisi) and the surrounding landscape (olive trees, vineyards, rolling hills) wonderful.
Returning home, we decided to rent a place in Spello the following year and looked online at many options - from hotel rooms to homes for rent. We chose to rent "Our House in Spello," and it proved to be a very good choice. We highly recommend it to you.
Although the house can accommodate additional people, we rented it for just the two of us. This gave us a master bedroom (which was thankfully air conditioned and extremely quiet), a second bedroom (also air conditioned, where we kept our suitcases and which we used as a dressing room), and the full use of the kitchen (also air conditioned), sitting area, and two bathrooms.
Much better than any hotel room, and very reasonably priced!
The house has a wonderful location in the town. There is a welcome basket of extra virgin olive oil, jams, and other goodies in the kitchen. There are also basic "provisions" in the house like soaps, shampoos, laundry detergent - making your arrival and stay that much easier.
Everything works, and every room is immaculate. The kitchen appliances, kitchen drawers, cabinetry, silverware, and pots are absolutely spotless (which is not always the case with rentals). The bedrooms, bathrooms, floors, linens - all clean and cared for.
Renting this home gave us the location we wanted, multiple rooms to
use, an extremely quiet bedroom, a spacious kitchen, and the air conditioning that we needed in key rooms (because it was unseasonably warm in Umbria this June).
The tiled, spiral stairs between each floor were manageable for us, but anyone considering renting this property should be aware that bringing suitcases up these stairs can be challenging, and going up and down the spiral stairs requires a certain level of fitness.
All of our communications with Desiree - from start to finish - were a pleasure. Reasonable, informative, helpful, responsive, friendly, and honest.
Check-in and check-out were super simple (the key was waiting for us in the lock-box at the front door on arrival, and we were told to just leave the key on the kitchen table when we departed).
Altogether, a very good experience - and we recommend it to you!
