Bienvenue au Palazzo San Bernardino

2 WEEKS IN A FAIRY TALE!!

My sister-in-law and I had the dream vacation of a lifetime!! For 2 glorious weeks, we got to live on this most famously decorated street that we only first saw in a photo. It was like stepping into a dream! What a privilege to stay in this enchanting thirteenth-century medieval walled city! People were always stopping by to take their picture in front of our flowered apartment! But what made our stay more special was our gracious host Simona & her adorable canine companion Gilda. We fell in love with both of them. They will always be our forever friends and it truly broke our hearts to leave them. Their charming place has all you need and is close to everything you need as well. Several other walled cities are close by & a must-see if you like to explore. Simona & Gilda can give you some suggestions and information. The food in Spello is amazing (try La Cantina!!) & the shops are plentiful. Even though we didn’t know the language, it didn’t seem to matter because the people were so kind & accomodating to us and Simona speaks perfect English. We quickly learned how to communicate with the locals and we got along very well!! Such an adventure we will treasure for a lifetime!! We can’t wait to go back & when we do, this will be our apartment again!! Grazie, Simona and Gilda, for everything! We had the best time ever!! We miss Italy and we love & miss you both!! Your place was PERFECT!! Ciao!

For two beautiful weeks this was our home in Spello. We couldn’t have been happier. The location is easily accessed, right on the main roadway up through the village. It’s neat, tidy, modern and adequately equipped. Simona picked us up at the train station and settled us in, then remained available and responsive whenever we had need through the remainder of our stay. We dream about returning.

Having spent the 2nd week of September in Spello, we enjoyed our stay in the apartment Palazzo San Bernardino. It is well located in the historic village walls and within easy distance to restaurants, cafes, locally owned shops and supermarket where one can find anything for breakfast or meals.

Simona met us at a prearranged location and guided us to the free public parking only minutes away from the apartment. She provided us with information on restaurants etc... We found the apartment very clean with large and well-appointed rooms, very comfortable.

Spello is a great location since it is quieter than larger town with more tourists and the residents are friendly and proud of their town.

The property itself is comfortable and lovely, and Simona is an incredibly helpful and welcoming host. Plus- Spello turned out to be a great place to base our time in Umbria- local hikes, fabulous beauty, and lots of great towns and wineries to visit nearby. When we arrived, Simona greeted us, and had recommendations for things to do and places to eat in town. When I asked about hikes, she gave me a whole driving tour of the area so we would know where to go! Even though we had a few struggles- previous tenants had turned off the water to the washing machine, and the Internet connection was problematic- Simona worked with us to resolve all issues. Also- the apartment is next to the most beautiful spot in Spello- and the whole town is great for photographs. Kitchen and sitting area on ground floor, bedroom and large bathroom upstairs. The washing machine and a separate sitting area are in lofts reached by ladders. Very nice place, would stay there again!

Perfetto l'appartamento...perfetta la posizione, praticamente al centro di Spello con comodissimo parcheggio auto gratuito molto vicino... Appartamento rifinitissimo, su due piani, ben organizzato. Simona, la proprietaria, gentilissima. A Spello poi si mangia benissimo ovunque...il tutto a pochi km da Assisi, Gubbio, ecc.
