Photos and Description of the Spoleto vacation villa rental Self-Catering, Private Pool, Jacuzzi, Large Grounds, Nr to Assisi, Perugia, Rome

Spoleto By The Pool consists of two 16C stone cottages, beautifully converted into 2-bedroom apartments with a large pool, Jacuzzi and expansive gardens. Atop a small hill, outside the city walls, amidst resplendent grounds, with acres of countryside all around, a romantic and glamorous setting, these 6 apts are 0.75 of a mile to the historic center of Spoleto (10 min walk) - same distance to the train station, from where you can get to practically anywhere in Italy. For those who are car-free, Umbria's most up-market supermarket, where you can sit at the bar and spot famous faces from all over the world, is just 5 min walk down the lane. Staying here, you want for nothing ! Yet, lounging in the landscaped grounds, you are unaware that the local facilities are so close. There is no traffic on the lane leading to Spoleto By The Pool, except for the odd car belonging to the owners of the other 2 villas along this lane. Here is tranquility, a choice of town or country, at the same time.

Details for APT 4 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 4, 1 Bathroom

All apts have original beams throughout + original stone features. Apts 1 + 4 are spacious, light and airy with large sitting/dining rooms, 3 large windows + French windows onto private terraces overlooking pool, Jacuzzi + BBQ area - panoramic country views all round. Apts 1, 2, 3 + 4 make up the 2 storey cottage and stand at the highest point, looking over the stepped and landscaped gardens towards the pool. Apts 5 + 6 make up the 1 storey cottage next to the pool, divided by a lawn - similar interiors but 6 is bigger. The grounds are spacious with nooks and crannies where you can sit in privacy. The pool is very large with lots of sun-loungers placed around a wide patio area surrounding the pool. Here, guests can sunbathe and relax without undue disturbance from other guests. Standing on a small hill, outside the city walls, Spoleto By The Pool is the nearest and largest pool property to central Spoleto. Add to that, a stunning and convenient location - simply unbeatable !

This location is the best ! Spoleto centre and the station are within spitting distance and, the mountains are all around you. A tranquil place with easy access to all the hot-spots….Assisi, Perugia, Trevi, Spello, Norcia, Perugia, Todi, Gubbio and, just over an hour to Rome. Spoleto is the Italians’ favourite place in Umbria – some say in Italy. Now, Italy’s best kept secret has been revealed. And, Spoleto is enjoying its new found fame. The locals are so friendly. Once here, you are bound in a kinship of love and worship of all that is most precious to the Italian….. sculpture, architecture, works of Art and, above all, food ! Not to mention wine, shopping and the most famous of all activities – the passeggiata ! The bus, at the end of the lane, goes to the top of Spoleto, the famous Rocca and Il Ponte. Very convenient if you fancy walking back home, down-hill, through the pretty, cobbled and arched streets of Spoleto, passing the myriad of shops, bars and restaurants along the way.

Fantastic holiday in Spoleto by the Pool!

yildiz the Netherlands
Review Submitted: September 21, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We had the best time in the Spoleto by the Pool apartments! The property was very well organized and clean and the apartments are all very roomy and with that authentic Umbrian/Italian feel......
The airco and pool were very important to me because it can get very hot in Umbria in the summer and it is so great to come home after a warm day in town to enjoy the freshness of the airco apartment and the beautifull pool on the property! The owners are very helpful with all one might need and because of this the stay in Spoleto by the Pool is really perfect and without any flaws! I am recommending this property to all my friends and relatives, because I am sure they would like it there as much as I have. Moreover Spoleto is such a great liitle city....so much to do and so many nice peopel living there! We have enjoyed great jazz, lovely classical concerts, ballet and other forms of art during the famous Festival of two worlds in Spoleto and we have enjoyed the BEST food ever in and around Spoleto. I have no bad or less good experiences to write about and I have spend 4 solid weeks in Spoleto by the Pool. In short: if you are thinking to spend your holiday in Italy: book an apartment at Spoleto by the Pool because you will not find a better place in Umbria for that price!!

Thank you Norma & Laurie for such an incredible venue. We absolutely love Spoleto by the pool and enjoyed a fabulous 4 weeks holiday in this tranquil, stunning location. Our second holiday here and it didn't diappoint. And It really is a stress free zone, thanks to kindness of both of you who have taken out the stress to provide guests with a truly wonderful holiday.

I would recommed this holiday location to all types of gests visiting. And Spoleto and the surounding area is a really delight. I for one will come back and stay.

Ritorniamo l'anno prossimo

Miss Sophie UK Lancashire
Review Submitted: September 29, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
What a wonderful location Spoleto-by-the-Pool is ! We enjoyed three lovely weeks soaking up our breathtaking surroundings. We didn't hire a car as we felt we wouldn't make use of it. If we wanted to go further afield, we were only a few minutes walk from the railway station..... and much less to the Supermarkets and town centre. We are not that physically fit but it suited us well.

The facilities are a real bonus and extremely well maintained. This is the second time we have stayed with Laurie and Norma and are constantly amazed at their generosity of spirit and time when accommodating their guests. Laurie, what can I say but thank you so much for kindness and for meeting us at the station and for making sure we had everything we needed.

I am dismayed at some of the dismissive reviews I have read. ( Fortunately, most are appreciative. ) Why the petty comments ? Norma's informative and detailed web site shows photos of the interiors of her apartments and the splendid outside facilities and panorama with descriptions of them all which leave you in no doubt as to exactly what you are getting when you book It would be a pity if these negative reports were to put future guests off from coming to stay. Spoleto-by-the-Pool is suitable for many types of guests wanting a wonderful holiday experience. Everything is consistently maintained on a daily basis. You only have to say, and if there is a fault, it will be dealt with.

I must mention the generous welcome pack everyone receives. I am sure Laurie and Norma are not obliged to offer this service but it is so appreciated on arrival. They don't take a deposit for damages and don't charge a supplement for final cleaning as a great many European holidays do !

Finally, I would like to say " Hello " to fellow guests we met during our stay. Spoleto-by-the-Pool is that sort of place... private when needs be and sociable when you like... which just leaves me to say I look forward to booking for four weeks next year.

Thank you Laurie and Norma for looking after us so well.

Apartment neither 'exquisite' nor luxurious.

hilmin Northern Ireland
Review Submitted: July 8, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Although the grounds and the pool were lovely, and the Jacuzzi was an extra treat, our apartment was pretty basic and certainly fell far short of the owners' description of cottages 'exquisitely converted into six 2-bedroom, luxury apartments' - with the exception of the air-conditioning, there was nothing luxurious about ours.

The owners, however, were friendly and helpful.
Owner's Response: Spoleto By The Pool is a heavenly place and we have succeeded in creating a luxury environment, without having destroyed the original ambience of these 16C cottages.

A typical Umbrian farm cottage is a ramshackle, run-down and barely habitable abode. Until recently, the two16C cottages at Spoleto By The Pool were inhabited by peasants, living self-sufficently off the land, “their food”…….. goats, chickens and pigs, wandering in and out of the cottages at will. Slaughters took place on the door step, the blood hosed into the fields and the chickens’ necks were wrung each week. These poor people lived hand to mouth. When something broke or smashed, it remained as such or a hap-hazard repair was attempted, windows were cracked, the stonework had blotches of grey cement holding it together and the electricity, what there was of it, consisted of bare wires and strip lighting.

After a fantastic and sensitive piece of restoration, these same cottages are unrecognizable. The standard of workmanship is 2nd to none. The interiors have been “exquisitely” restored, with all original features left intact – as you can see from the photos. The beams have been replaced throughout and each old stone has been immaculately cleaned and repositioned. You would even be forgiven for thinking that these stone cottages have been newly built.

However, in keeping with the character of a 16C farm-house, we have not adorned the walls with frescos, nor have we installed those giant American ice-making freezers, there are no works of Art on the walls and the upholstery is not white ! What we have are two 16C Umbrian cottages, restored to the highest of standards and with all the extras required of modern day living.

If you choose to live in a 16C Umbrian farm-cottage, this is luxury living. Otherwise, if you want the kind of "luxury", implied by the critic, you would be advised to stay in a 5 star hotel and pay rather more for your holiday.

We work hard to provide the best holidays for our guests and we have hundreds of references to demonstrate this, which we send out automatically in reponse to an enquiry. More and more of our guests are returning each year to sample other of our properties in and around central Spoleto. We are full most of the year, across the board. I like to think that this is not just because people fall in love with Spoleto and Umbria but that it is also a testament to the excellent service and level of accommodation we provide.
