Spello Hotel Guide - Villa of Mosaics hotels in Spello, Italy.

"The host was a bit grumpy. Two bath towels provided for 8 days for two people. No bath soap, shampoo, which became a non-issue because even I, at 5'2", 105 pounds, didn't fit in the bagno, itself accessible by several sets of stairs. My husband at 6'3," 200 lbs, literally gave up and used the McDonald's bagno 20 min. away. It was well-located as a base of operations, with a beautiful view of the Umbrian countryside. No coffee pot. "

"Stanza comoda e spaziosa, colazione varia"

"I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! The outdoor amenities are the real highlight -- we used the hot tub and the sauna every night. (If only the pool had been heated too!). Location was great, and we fell in love with Spello (and the local restauranteurs who were open during the off season--La Bottega di Teresa near the main square was our favorite and the owners are wonderful!). Andrea, the host, was tremendously kind and helpful leading up to, during, and after our stay. He even assisted with arranging a private chef for a specatuclar meal. A couple of notes to prepare yourself: Parking is VERY far from the house, at the bottom of the hill, and the elevators are currently under repair so you have a substantial hike uphill to get to the house. We had an injured member of our party, and it definitely caused us to have to think through logistics more than anticipated. Spello is so remote and the train station is at the bottom, so I don't know how you'd realistically explore without a car--not a problem, just worth noting since the parking is tough. If you plan to use the amenities, consider bringing extra towels with you--because we used the hot tub every night, towels and robes were constantly wet so it wasn't too pleasant getting out of the shower. (And we couldn't figure out if the washing machine was also a dryer or how to use it.) We'd stay here again in a heartbeat (and hope to)! Thank you so much!! "

"Excellent location, it’s a short walk (some uphill - wear a sturdy shoe) from free parking. There is easy access to hiking trails - a beautiful hike along the aqueduct to Collepino and back to Spello, and a trail to Assisi. We had a bit of rain so didn’t get to do the Assisi hike. There are good restaurants and bars a short walk into the city center. Cantine di Spello was a highlight- make a reservation in advance. The apartment is just as described and the view from the terrace is stunning. There is an outer street door to unlock before proceeding down a ramped walkway to the apartment. It felt very secure inside this area. The apartment is equipped with everything needed for either a quick stop or a long stay. The owner has helpful hints posted around the place - helpful reminders for using appliances and such.I was confused about the checkout- it says final cleaning included but we should clean the bathroom and kitchen. It may have been a translation error on my part. My only suggestion is to wear sturdy shoes - the stone outside of the apartment door was slick with moss - I slid a few times when wearing a block heel boot to go to dinner."

"We loved our stay in this beautiful house. It is even bigger and prettier than it looked online and was super clean and well equipped. Worth noting, however, that there staff are present onsite every day so it didn’t feel like we had the place fully to ourselves. There is also only one taxi company so it was tricky to get places without car spaces for the full group."

"We had a wonderful stay at B&B Villamena! It is thoughtfully decorated down to each detail, has a beautiful patio with a refreshing swimming pool, and a generous and delicious breakfast. The location was perfect. Free parking across the street and an easy short walk to the main parts of Spello. Spello itself is a gorgeous and charming town! One of the best I have visited in all of Italy. The host had great recommendations for restaurants, wineries and excursions in Umbria. The room was marvelous with a comfortable bed, great shower and AC, and nice and quiet. Quite spacious as well. We loved our visit and hope to return again! "
