VILLA DESCRIPTION

VILLA I472 IN SPELLO, UMBRIA, ITALY

Spello, a little village in Umbria not far from the famous town of Assisi, is undoubtedly one of the

region's most precious gems, and it is no coincidence that it belongs to the "Borghi piÃ¹ belli d'Italia"

(the most beautiful villages in Italy), an association that comprises only the towns that have succeeded

in preserving their monuments and artistic masterpieces in perfect architectural harmony, along with a

quality of life that can infuse a new rhythm and taste into our times. Spello stands on the slopes of





Mount Subasio and is built entirely from the pinkish limestone of the mountain itself: as the sun goes

down the entire hamlet gleams with an extraordinary colour, a pink that gives a particular light to the

houses clinging to the hillside, the roofs and the ancient walls. Girdled by the circle of walls, in its

narrow lanes, well-tended and decked with flowers (this being a local tradition, since every year in May

the feast of the Infiorata is held here and the streets are transformed into the most wonderful carpets of

flowers), in the characteristic tower-houses and the attractive and lively squares, visitors can find all the

evidence of its ancient history. This stretches from Roman to Mediaeval and Renaissance times; suffice

it to mention the Baglioni Chapel in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore with the frescoes by

Pintoricchio, an Umbrian painter famous for his festive and courtly decorative sense. Lunario is in

perfect harmony with the extraordinary charm of this little hamlet, and the visitor will find it hard not to

fall in love with both. Set in the old centre of the village, inside the walls, it has been carved out of an

ancient church and skilfully renovated by the owners, who have lengthy professional experience in

welcoming their guests with consummate care. From a small street winding through the centre of the

village, a gate leads directly into the beautiful garden of the house, boasting a magnificent view over the

hills and the plain stretched out in front. An ancient patio, equipped for eating in the open air, shady

spots where guests can sit and read or rest, comfortable loungers for sunbathing: everything is in

harmony and the details are attended to with the same tasteful style as the interior where the classy

elegance of the finishing touches comes as a delightful surprise. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming

and comfortable, the bathrooms are embellished with precious materials, and the bedrooms with their

different styles share the same impeccable charm. Just a few steps away is the main square of the village

with all its services, the famous wine cellars, the shops selling typical products and lots of quality

restaurants at affordable prices. In the summer season the guests can cool off in the small swimming

pool (2.80 x 5m and 1.30m deep) that has recently been put in a corner of the panoramic garden and

matches its surroundings nicely. Small dogs can be accepted, on particular conditions. Guests arriving

by car are provided with a special permit by the owner so that they can access the residents-only area

and park just 50 metres from the house. This accommodation is for non-smokers.(The gate gives onto

the path from where a few steps lead down to the Portico Antico, equipped for dining in the open air,

and the panoramic garden) GROUND FLOOR: hall leading into spacious kitchen with dining table

(dishwasher, coffee machine, oven for heating croissants, 2 hobs and grill), large double sitting room

with dining area, satellite TV and Bang&Olufsen Round System stereo for part of the house and the
