While local regulations by the Municipality of Spello strictly prohibit umbrellas or gazebos for safety reasons (as an accidental fall could pose a serious hazard to the historic square below), the terrace remains an absolute highlight.

It is truly the ultimate spot for a memorable breakfast or a romantic dinner, offering breathtaking, panoramic views over the entire historic town and the rolling countryside beyond.

SPELLO
Spello, is a charming stone town 8 kms away from Assisi, it is a sort of valuable book composed of many pages of which to browse quietly. Starting from the south (the area of "Borgo") climbing up to Porta dell’Arce (the "Belvedere"), you can visually cover the history of a place where you can breathe in the ancient Umbrian, Roman, Medieval and Renaissance presence. On top of a medieval tower stands an olive-tree, symbol of peace and of the most typical local product, the extra virgin olive oil.
The town fascinates with marvelous architecture, compressed in a rather tiny area.
The Medieval town was built on the Roman foundations. The hikers love to get lost in the town’s streets web. In summer its streets get decorated with hundreds of flowers and justly is called one "of the most beautiful villages in Italy". Spello is all texture—rose coloured stone walls, crumbling terracotta roof tiles, stone pathways, and weathered wooden doors.
Wherever you will go, it will lead you somewhere nice. Actually, it is even recommended to get lost in the streets of Spello – it enables you to feel the spirit of the village. Friendly and hospitable locals are always ready to chat and direct you.
To experience the countryside you can hike along the Roman Aqueduct above town, the path takes you through peaceful olive groves with amazing views of Spello in the distance.
A great time to visit is in June during the INFIORATA FLOWER FESTIVAL when the streets are covered with intricate flower designs.
These days, more than 2000 people work for about three months in preparation for the all-night labor before the feast day. They now lay out 80 glorious floral petal carpets which will cover the streets and piazzas of medieval Spello on the morning of the Feast of Corpus Domini.

ACCESSIBILITY
It is possible to reach the building by car and there is a spacious lift in the building, however from the entrance door of the apartment to the living and sleeping floor, there are 19 steps. They are comfortable steps, quite large, however we don't recommend this property to guests with severe mobility restrictions. In addition, from the living area there are a few more steps to reach the rooftop terrace. The apartment itself is spacious and comfortable, on one level.
