About this property

700 Year Old Historic Garrison Commander's Quarters with Garden & Pool

The beauty, ancient spirit, and calm of Le Logge provides you a special self-catering property of only several carefully curated, carefully restored and fully independent apartment-homes now protected by the Italian Ministry of Heritage and Culture. It’s strategic location gives you an excellent base to experience the many great wonders that Umbria offers and convenient access to Rome (90 minutes by car, less by train) or Tuscany (“Under the Tuscan Sun” Cortona 45 minutes by car and Florence 2 hours).

The history of your apartment-home reaches back almost 700 years when Le Logge was a roman military fortress protecting the papal sanctioned city of Spoleto. Meticulously restored stone-by-stone, you may stay in former watchtowers, a horse stable for the garrison captain, cobbler’s shop and spaces with many other rich histories.

The commanders of the garrison entered from the ancient tunnel that still now opens into the covered Logge. The stones in the tunnel tell the story of the "breaks" that would keep the horse drawn carriage from sliding backwards and out.

The carefully restored apartment features one full bedroom with a large matrimonal bed. The new sofa also provides a large and comfortable sleeping bed for two adults. The fully independent apartment includes a sun-filled kitchen and modern bathroom. The internal doors are of the original period, as are other ancient features. A short walk out of your door will bring you into the covered Logge, only accessible by one other apartment on the property, for outdoor dining and unforgettable sunsets.

The 5000 sqm garden is divided in two parts. The one in front of the Logge was once the old “hortus”, now with two centuries-old fig trees, in the shade of which you can sit and read in summertime. The main part of the garden is surrounded by big oak, elms and olive trees, the swimming pool in the centre, and over 200 plants among lavender, rosemary, thyme, myrtle, abelia, cartegus, broom and pomegranate, and more than 50 different kinds of rose.

The Pool is located in the most panoramic but reserved part of the garden, sunny from sunrise to sunset, equipped with sunbeds, umbrellas, and areas in the shade. The access to the Pool is only for registered Guests. Full servicing is provided. Jacuzzi spa is available with a complimentary use provided and additional time by reservation and arrangements.

A welcome basket is provided at check-in and assistance can be requested for help in arranging other experiences including a cooking lesson, transportation to the beach, Rome and other adventures which you would pay for separately as interested.

Welcome to Le Logge and tranquility.

silvignano

LE LOGGE DI SILVIGNANO We had a very great welcome in Silvignano, a little corner of heaven in the middle of Umbria. Alberto and Diana received us in their wonderful property, “Le Logge di Silvignano”, and we didn’t feel like customers in an impersonal structure but and above all we were treated as dear and appreciated guests. Our apartment was very comfortable, clean and every detail was well cared. Furniture have been chosen with accuracy and a delicious touch of refinement which gives you the impression of still living in Umbria’s Mediaeval past. How could we forget our beautiful Renaissance open gallery and all the romantic and peaceful sunsets we saw from it? Silvignano: a place full of history but also a place of peace and rest. In fact the garden gives you the opportunity of relaxing yourself while reading a book between plants and flowers, taking a stroll or a dip into the swimming pool or simply having a sun bath. Diana and Alberto’s property is situated in a strategical spot in the heart of Umbria from where you’ll easily move and discover many nice cities of art, archaeological sites, historical and natural places you won’t forget for sure. Diana and Alberto are always available to you in order of showing and giving a straight for the most interesting places to visit. The ones who appreciate good food and wine won’t be disappointed: these kind owners will suggest you a lot of restaurants, taverns and wineries thereabouts where you’ll eat and taste Umbrian culinary specialties and wines. We are so excited about this lovely place that we hope we’ll come back soon and we’ll recommend it to our friends and relatives without a doubt. Pietro, Bruna and Erica Mussi

Une idée du Paradis

Diana et Alberto ont créé un lieu magique dans cette merveilleuse région de l'Ombrie, un lieu à la fois historique, très raffiné et simple, imprégné d'une nature splendide. Ils nous ont reçus chaleureusement, et nous ont aidé à découvrir cette merveilleuse région de l'Ombrie, grâce à leur attention particulière aux goûts de chacun. Le jardin merveilleux tourné vers la vallée et vers les douces montagnes environnantes couvertes de forêt avec tant d'endroits où l'on a envie de se poser (sous un figuier, à l'ombre au dessus de la piscine...), l'appartement parfait, raffiné, le calme, le silence et la fraîcheur de la nuit dans la campagne, le clair de lune derrière les montagnes... tout vous inciterait presque à ne pas bouger de ce paradis pour aller découvrir les mille beautés environnantes. Merci Diana et Alberto, nous espérons revenir très vite!

Delightful introduction to Umbria

Just an easy 40 min drive from Perugia Airport, LeLogge is ideally situated to explore this beautiful region. When you turn of the main road you are about 10 mins from the delightful hillside location: the property is as described and photographed, a very well presented historic property in lovely grounds, a very nice swimming pool with a breathtaking view we found hard to leave, indeed some days we just swam, read, relaxed, had a break for lunch on the terrace and did the same in the afternoon. So a great place to recharge the batteries, but much to see. Spoleto a charming city is just waiting to be explored and just 20 mins away, the Basilica in Assisi just devine, wonderful food, great wine, Umbria has so much to offer and I can’t imagine a better place to base yourself. The owners Diana and Alberto have worked hard to create something really special here and it shows, the furnishing, decor and overall presentation of the accommodation is of a very high standard. They are both charming and genial hosts who were helpful and attentive whilst giving us the time and space to enjoy Le Logge as home. A thoroughly enjoyable 11 day holiday, we will return. Highly recommended.

Traumhafte Unterkunft in Bergdorf bei Spoleto

Wir haben zu zweit eine wunderschöne Zeit in Umbrien verbracht. Dazu hat definitiv auch die tolle Ferienwohnung von Diana und Alberto beigetragen. Als wir ankamen hat es leicht geregnet, Alberto stand mit Regenschirmen am Parkplatz. In unserer Wohnung, wartete ein frischer selbstgebackener Apfelkuchen auf uns und am folgenden Morgen wurden wir bei schönem Wetter vom Ausblick über das Tal bis nach Montefalco begrüßt. Alberto und Diana haben sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben, uns mit Ideen für die Zeit weiterzuhelfen. Dabei haben sie sich auch direkt auf die Dinge konzentriert, die für uns auf Basis unserer Interessen spannend sein waren und nicht in jedem Reiseführen zu finden waren. Die Ferienwohnungen selbst liegen in einem sehr chic renovierten traditionellen Gebäude in einem Bergdorf (Silvignano) direkt am Hang. Durch den traditionellen Baustil fühlt man sich direkt in die Gegend und eine andere Zeit versetzt. Symptomatisch für die sehr freundliche persönliche Atmosphäre war eine Begegnung mit einem anderen Gast die wir eines morgens hatten: Der Mann kam aus Pennsylvania für eine Woche nach Silvignano und wollte Alberto ein Buch zurück geben, dass ihm dieser beim letzten Besuch ausgeliehen hatte. Insgesamt können wir sowohl die Gegend als auch diese Ferienwohnung mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen. Wer sorgenfrei bei freundlichen Leuten in einer sehr schönen Wohnung seinen Umbrienurlaub verbringen will, der wird hier voll auf seine Kosten kommen. Thanks a lot Diana and Alberto for the great time - we will definately come back! Martin

Fantastico

We had a fantastic family holiday in the apartment at Logge di Silvignano in Aug 2011. Alberto & Diana made us feel at home the moment we arrived & their friendship & hospitality made a huge difference to our whole experience in Umbria. The Logge has a real presence & you feel that you are sharing a little bit of history that has been beautifully restored with real care. The property is located in a small village on a hillside, overlooking the Umbrian valley. The views & sunset were lovely but more than anything there was space to relax & forget about everything. The apartment was very spacious & well equipped & gave us complete privacy. The pool is shared but there is plenty of room & we enjoyed the company & stories of the other guests. There are plenty of restaurants & nearby & Spoleto, Assissi, Montefalco are all within easy driving distance. A trip into the mountains is a must - amazing scenery & great food! Our two young children were in their element - great pool, large grounds, shaded area to play games. Diana & Alberto were brilliant with them. We would recommend Le Logge to anyone who wants to stay in real Italy.

Italy at its Best!

Le Logge was recommended to us by a friend, and we couldn't have found a more perfect place. Diana and Alberto were the most gracious and helpful hosts, making reservations and recommendations for side trips, rental cars, and train schedules. They have lovingly and beautifully restored the 11th century structures and grounds over several years, and every aspect of the property has been given their full attention. Fig, olive and rose bushes surrounded the pool and the sunset became the event of the evening. The town of Silvignano was small, but had most amenities, fresh food, pasta, bread and wine. Having a car is a must to get around, but easily arranged in Spello.

Elegant and comfortable

I think that our week at Logge di Silvignano was the highlight of our 3 week trip through Umbria. Our hosts, Diana and Alberto, immediately became friends whom I would love to have at my home. Their property is a treasure gem amidst olive groves and below a very small village, with plenty of room to walk the rose gardens, rest by the pool, or gaze out over the Umbrian valley watching the sunset. Our apartment had its own patio, well equipped kitchen, and enough of a "welcome feast" in our refrigerator to furnish our breakfasts for the entire week. Our bedroom was elegantly furnished, soft linens and comfortable bed. Several restaurants are within 5 minutes away, and walking the hills and forests around Silvignano made us feel we were in old Italy. Our hosts spoke perfect English and suggested great day trips for us, which we would not have found otherwise. I really want to return, and don't think we could ever tire of this wonderful part of the world.

A wonderfull stay

We had the luck to be able to stay one week in June in the apartment with the private loggia. The property is very clean and well maintained and situated at a marvelous location above the valley. The apartment is furnished with great taste and is very spacious. It was immaculately clean upon our arrival. In addition the kitchen was stocked with everything needed for a breakfast next morning and even a marvelous cake was waiting for us. Speaking of the kitchen, I love cooking and the kitchen equipment would be the only aspect of potential improvement, But Diana helped out, wherever it was possible. But eating out at the loggia makes easily up for this. Enjoy your dinner at sunset with Pasta and truffles and a good Umbrian wine and you will be as close to heaven as you are able to come on earth. All in all, if you need a break, this part of Umbria is definitely worth a trip and Le Logge de Silvignano is where you can enjoy it most.

Heaven on Earth

I had the privilege of staying in one of the rooms shown above, in October 2010. I'm certain there are no words to describe the magnificence of the logge and its owners, Diana and Alberto Araimo. But I will try. The rooms were charming, elegant, yet comfortable, warm and inviting - from the exquisite linen sheets in the bedroom to the fluffy yellow bathroom towels and delicious smelling toiletries that would certainly rival any spa. The bed was outstanding – the mattress just firm enough with the right pillows. The sitting room is exactly where you want to sit and relax. And, each view from the various windows was like something out of a magazine, or a dream; simply surreal in the best sense of the word. Nothing could beat the cleanliness – you could eat off the floor. Not only that, the magically equipped kitchen had everything you could need or want for breakfast or afternoon tea; including a divine, fresh, homemade cake, made by one of the owners – though I still don’t know which Araimo deserves that prize! As for the owners and their hospitality, they must have written the book by which anyone, anywhere in the hotel business should subscribe. I was traveling on my own, but felt as though I had come to see my family after an extended absence. Diana and Alberto treated me as if their only desire was to make my stay as wonderful as possible. They helped me to get a rental car, and provided detailed maps, directions, and guide books – in English – for visiting a variety of nearby places. When I got myself lost after dark – through NO fault of the excellent maps, Alberto was there in flash to lead me back home. I have never before experienced anything as comforting as being cared for by these folks. And, in my all of travels, I have never enjoyed such graciousness. People like this are a rarity for sure in today’s world. The surroundings are spectacular with wonderful walking paths everywhere, and each sunset from the balcony is more beautiful than the last. The silence is truly golden – the only sounds are those of the songbirds in the back gardens and surrounding woods. My only regret is that I did not book a longer stay. My only fear is that the rest of the world will discover this oasis and there will be no more room for me! I will always treasure my stay at the lodge, and the new friends – I’ll keep forever. My idea of heaven would be to simply live there. ellen sappington

Beautiful!!!!!!

My daughter and I stayed with Diana and Alberto this past September. We stayed in the suite that opened onto the private loggia in the photo. The suite was immaculate and luxurious. Unlike a lot of places, this one was even better than the photos! There was a bedroom and a loft with another bed above the living room. The bathroom and kitchen were spacious. Diana and Alberto were incredibly gracious, recommending daily outings and restaurants. We must admit we hurried back to the apartment each evening as the sunsets were beyond belief ( so we never made it to the recommended restaurants...). Diana referred us to a wonderful horseback riding facility (La Somma) where we had a full day trekking which was the highlight of our whole trip! I must also mention the ancient fig trees which were laden with ripe figs of which we were told to help ourselves. Diana and Alberto even did our laundry for us and DIana left us a lemon cake she baked herself! Umbria is beautiful and we very much hope to return next year (accompanied by my husband) and take DIana up on her offer to move me forward with my Italian studies! Carol and Kate Rembor

Discovering Umbria

After a 2 day-drive arriving in Le Logge di Silvignano was like ending up in paradise: we were immediately charmed by the medieval building, the swimming pool and the pergola. Alberto gave an interesting introduction to the magnificent building. Diana told us briefly and precisely what to visit (cities, villages, historical buildings, natural parks) and where to have dinner. She indicated everything on maps. Very handy if you want to discover Umbria in one week. The appartment appeared to be very cosy and tastefully decorated. From there the sunset in Umbria was impressive. After our daily trips we took a swim in the pool with its magnificent view or we read a book under the pergola enjoying the soft breeze and the fragrance of the roses. When we met Diana and Alberto they were always ready for a talk. We were all ears when Alberto told the story about his life work, the restauration of the medieval fortress. It was always pleasant to listen to his interesting descriptions of the region and its history. If we return to Umbria, we hope to stay at Le Logge di Silvignano again. Ria and Marc

Numero uno !

My wife and I stayed in this wonderfully restored building. It sits in the middle of a lovingly tended garden. The apartment was amazing. Beautiful decor, big and comfortable furniture. The bed is big and dressed in beautiful heavy linen from the nearby town of Montefalco. The windows of the apartment overlook the valley, to the most amazing view. The apartment is very private and quiet. THe small kitchen is perfect for preparing breakfast whipping a quick bowl of pasta. But with a choice of 3 local restaurants nearby, you are spoiled for choice and it would be such a shame not to visit them, we weren't disappointed. Fresh local produce and traditional italian cooking was too tempting, we ate out most nights. The most beuatiful part of our visit was the hospitality shown to us by our hosts: Diana and Alberto. The are amazing generous helpful and very knowledgable. THey had so many suggestions of what to see and do, were were spoiled for choice. Umbria is the beautiful heart of Italy, and the apratment is right in the midst of it. Hilltop towns, world class restaurants, the natural beuty of national parks, Valnerina... and so much more.. we cant wait to return

Gorgeous accomdations & wonderful hosts

The grounds and scenery are breathtaking. The restored home (originally from the 11th-15th centuries) is done so tastefully -- the rooms are not only lovely but also very comfortable. We loved the location (high on a hill with views of Umbrian wine country) and the accomodations were impeccable. Our room (a 2-person suite) had a separate bedroom, a large living area, and kitchen area for cooking. Our hosts, Diana and Alberto, left us with enough groceries to have breakfast for our 4-night stay (with some left!). As visually captivating as the Logge is, it was our hosts Diana and Alberto that made our stay extremely memorable. They shared the beauty of the Umbrian countryside and towns with us, so we could just leave your guidebooks at home. They were gracious, warm, charming, and eager to help us appreciate all of the beauty, history, and culture that Umbria has to offer. The Logge is beautiful, but Diana and Alberto really set it apart from other places you might consider staying.

Excellent stay at Le Logge di Silvignano

My wife and I stayed with Diana and Alberto at their incredible B&B in mid May, 2010. The lodgings are somewhat remotely placed high on a small mountain but within easy striking distance of the many Umbrian sites and cities. and are impeccably maintained and had an absolutely gorgeous view of the valley and evening sunset.. The solitude is wonderful.( Listen for the real coo-coo birds). Our host were wonderful and very knowledgeable about the region. Evenings by the pool sipping the local wine were fantastic. I have only the highest recommendations for their place and enthusiastically recommend it for for anyone desiring a true taste of Umbria. If you don't wish to cook( they have kitchen facilities) there are several good restaurants nearby - very authentic - our favorite was a little pizza place where the owner sent us home with a liter of his house wine for 2 euros and it was delicious - his receptionist was a very nice young man who spoke very little English but has a great tattoo of Bob Dylan on his shoulder.
