Photos and Description of the Spoleto vacation apartment rental Self-catering in central Spoleto, easy access to Rome, Perugia, Assisi, Orvieto

In the historically significant 14C Rocca Dei Perugini, built as the stronghold for the Perugini when they conquered Spoleto, located in a pedestrian area Terrazza Bella and Bella Due are stylish apartments, 1 with a stunning terrace, both with balconies. Terrazza Bella has a large, open-plan sitting/dining room with a fitted kitchen along one side of the room + a balcony off both bedrooms. Bella Due has a large sitting/dining room with a separate fully fitted kitchen + a balcony off both bedrooms Both balconies overlook Porta Fuga.

Strolling within the walls of this fairy-tale city, one can see monuments, churches, towers and all kinds of other buildings of historical interest as well as works of Art galore. Spoleto boasts numerous world famous institutions such as The Italian Centre for Studies on the Early Middle Ages, the Festival of Two Worlds and The Experimental Opera Theatre. And, if you walk for a few minutes up to the Cathedral, you’ll see an example of what is arguably the most beautiful piazza in the whole of Italy, featured in one of Brigitte Bardot’s early films and where her character lived and died.

The spirit of its fascinating past is immersed in every stone and cobble. Within this mediaeval setting, you can also enjoy the finest wines, the best truffles, the most mouth-watering olive-oils and the best shopping in the world in a myriad of bars, restaurants and shops.

Our Month in Spoleto

Paolina Springfield, PA, USA
Review Submitted: November 18, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We have recently returned from our 29 day visit to Spoleto in our lovely apartment, La Terrazza Bella. Included for our daily pleasure and enjoyment were:
· 2 spacious bedrooms
· A large bath with shower (and always plenty of good hot water)
· A large, well-equipped kitchen (with full sized refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher) overlooking a charming terrace
· Excellent internet service. With 24/7 internet service and the use of email, we were completely satisfied. Kudos to our hosts for this outstanding amenity.
· A reliable elevator in good working order just outside our front door
· A late model washing machine in good working order
· A rear balcony with a charming view
· A private parking lot with our own reserved parking space
· The use of a cell phone provided by our hosts
· Regularly scheduled linen/towel replacement and apartment cleaning
· A welcoming bottle of wine, cheese, and other assorted goodies for an enjoyable repast upon arrival
And as if all of the above were not enough, we were the grateful recipients of our host's gracious willingness to meet us at the train station when we arrived in Spoleto, drive us to the car rental agency, and even take us to and from the train station on those occasions when we left the apartment for excursions to other parts of Italy. It is difficult to find adequate superlatives to describe the memorable times we had in Spoleto, largely due to the wonderful accommodations provided by our hostess and host, not to mention the warm, personal rapport we enjoyed with both of them. Add in the superb location of the apartment, surrounded by shops, coffee bars, restaurants, and marvelous medieval places of interest and you have an ideal, unforgettable travel experience.

Owner's Response: Please note that for larger parties (up to 8 persons), you can book the apartment next door in addition to Terrazza Bella. It is called Bella Due and it also has Broadband internet, either cable or WiFi. I advertise these 2 apartments, which I call "Terrazza Bella Due" at a specially reduced rate - it is 1 of the 3 units that you see on this advert. If you book Terrazza Bella Due, you get : 4 bedrooms, 2 large sitting/dining rooms, each with fitted kitchens, 2 bathrooms/WCs, 1 large terrace, 1 patio area and balconies off all 4 bedrooms, overlooking the pedestrian, mediaeval streets.

Terrazza Bella

JohnEJ Sydney, Australia
Review Submitted: August 18, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
During July we spent two wonderful weeks in Spoleto at Terrazza Bella.
The apartment was just what we had hoped for. There was private parking available, which was most convenient in a city which has little public parking and narrow medieval streets. The apartment itself was very well appointed, and had a delightful large patio which overlooked the city and out to the hills beyond.
There were endless oportunities for excursions into the regions around Perugia and Urbino, and excellent eating places, especially at Pediluca on the lake.
The weather was very warm, and not unlike our weather in Sydney.
We look forward to renewing our friendship with our hosts,Norma and Laurrie, either in Australia or in Umbria at some future time. Their kind concern went a long way to making our holiday the great success that it was. Grazie molte amici!
JohnEJ.
Owner's Response: There is free parking in the lanes, just a few minutes walk from the apartment. However, we do have 2 private parking spaces outside the lift to the apartments that each cost 50 euros/week, the rate we pay the owner of the small car-park.

Terrazza Bella was all and more.

Review Submitted: August 16, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We were delighted to spend our holiday in Spoleto in this apartment. It was clean, homely and full of atmosphere, with everything you could possibly need. The owners have thought of everything and truly want you to enjoy yourselves.
It was situated on one of the main streets and handy for everything. Spoleto had everything we wanted for a relaxing holiday without a car. Lots to see and great places to eat. No tourist prices here either. The people are friendly too. We will definately return.

Just wonderful!

goldengate san francisco,ca
Review Submitted: April 8, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
As I type this, I am sitting at the desk in La Terrazza, with sunlight streaming through the windows, enjoying a broadband internet connection. This apartment is truly wonderful for those wanting to be in the "thick of things" (i.e. walking distance to the train station, cafes, gelato, ATMs, 3 supermarkets, you name it) but still have peace and quiet. The apartment is completely silent, and the terrace feels very private to me.

The apartment is very spacious, with a full kitchen, a washing machine, and full bath. Both bedrooms are good sized. The TV has CNN, Fox, every channel you could want to watch (who'd think we'd be in Italy watching The Simpsons???).

Overall, great value for money, hosted by wonderful hosts Laurie and Norma who provide a welcome basket of grocery essentials, and all of the good advice for dining and sightseeing we could ever want.

Highly recommended!!

Private Oasis in the Centre of Town

Norse Wanderer Vancouver, BC, Canada
Review Submitted: March 18, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
I stayed here for several weeks in what would usually be the "off-season", but ended up basking in the Umbrian sun on the terrace in February!
The apartment is lovely, just as described - the pictures give a good sense of the place. The light is great, and everything is provided. But the real value is the location; you literally step out your door onto your terrace, surrounded by mountains and ancient towers, then from there into a medieval street.
I liked being able to walk everywhere, including the grocery stores, restaurants and places like the Rocca, Duomo, Ponte delle Torri etc. There are also several great walks through the local hills nearby, which are well-marked and well-traveled.
Norma & Laurie are awesome hosts, no wonder so many of their guests return (including myself.) They relish being ambassadors of Spoleto, and will do everything they can to help you in planning and enjoying your visit. You really don't need a car, but you do need to be up for walking steep-ish hills, and negotiating stairs and cobblestones.
I have recommended this place to friends & family, as it provides a great base to explore Spoleto and the nearby towns. You'll feel like a local in a few days, nipping out for a cappuccino in the morning, and joining the evening "passeggiata" with everyone else down the Corso Garibaldi.
There are numerous superb restaurants quite close to the apartment, to mention a few favourites; Tempio del Gusto, Osteria del Matto, Mucca Pazza, Apollinaire, Osteria Vecchio Camino (right around the corner.)
