Olio Extravergine d’Oliva Umbria DOP:  La coltivazione dell’olivo nel territorio di produzione dell’Umbria DOP ha origini antichissime, risalenti alle popolazioni etrusche. Oggi, la zona di produzione dell’olio extravergine di oliva Umbria DOP comprende l’intero territorio della regione Umbria, mentre le varietà di olivo maggiormente coltivate e ammesse dal disciplinare sono: Leccino, Frantoio, Moraiolo, San Felice, Rajo e Dolce Agocia. L’olio novello si presenta con un color verde acceso che poi diventa giallo oro una volta maturato. Con un gusto armonico, fruttato e pressoché privo di acidità, il classico blend Umbro ha un gusto forte ed un aroma profumato ed è un olio di oliva molto eclettico negli usi, ideale per condire ed esaltare pietanze semplici ma anche piatti dal sapore deciso. Si tratta di un condimento eccezionale e salutare per la sua digeribilità e gli apporti nutrizionali.

Le regioni vinicole dell’Umbria:  Situata geograficamente nell’Italia centrale e chiamata anche “cuore verde d’Italia” , è una regione caratterizzata da lussureggianti colline e di antichi borghi medievali. L’Umbria è nota per la sua produzione di vino bianco. Il Trebbiano (chiamato anche Procanico in Umbria) e il Grechetto sono le varietà a bacca bianca più importanti, entrambe in blend nell’ Orvieto DOC , la più grande denominazione della regione, anche se la varietà bianca più apprezzata prodotta in Umbria è il Trebbiano Spoletino , coltivato soprattutto nelle colline di Spoleto, Montefalco e Todi. Sebbene ben nota per i suoi vini bianchi, le due denominazioni DOCG dell’Umbria sono per i vini rossi. La varietà autoctona Sagrantino ha man mano guadagnato importanza nella zona di Montefalco, dando vita a vini di grande spessore, struttura e potenza e ricevendo lo status di Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG nel 1992. Il Sangiovese è il vitigno più coltivato della regione ed è la principale uva nell’altra DOCG: il Torgiano Rosso Riserva . Sono inoltre presenti 11 denominazioni DOC e 6 IGT, concentrate soprattutto nelle colline centrali della regione (Colli Martani), al confine con la Toscana o nella zona del Lago Trasimeno, dove una delle varietà coltivate più apprezzate è il Gamay del Trasimeno (Grenache).

Specialità Gastronomiche Umbre: prodotto con latte di pecora, il pecorino umbro è un formaggio a pasta molle e semidura prodotto in tutto il territorio della regione. Norcia è una delle città più importanti dell’Umbria per quanto riguarda i prodotti agroalimentari ed è nota per il suo Prosciutto di Norcia IGP e per tutti i suoi salumi. Dà anche l’origine e il nome ad una delle più famose ricette della cucina italiana: la Pasta alla Norcina. I Tartufi Umbri , bianchi e neri, sono considerati molto pregiati e tra i migliori prodotti della regione; il loro territorio di provenienza e il loro ambiente sono generalmente i boschi degli Appennini, vicino al confine con le Marche. I Legumi ( Lenticchie e Cicerchie di Colfiorito , Fagiolina del Trasimeno ) sono prodotti in molte zone del comprensorio e sono gli ingredienti principali della Zuppa di Legumi Umbra . La Crescia di Gubbio , detta anche Torta al Testo , è una delle focacce più conosciute ed apprezzate la cui origine è molto remota: l’impasto si ottiene amalgamando a mano ingredienti molto semplici: farina, acqua, sale e viene tradizionalmente cotto sul Testo , un disco di pietra o di ferro posto direttamente sulla brace del camino. Altre rinomate specialità umbre sono: la Cipolla di Cannara , l’ Anguilla e il Persico Reale del Trasimeno , la Patata rossa di Colfiorito , la Torta al Formaggio o torta pasquale umbra e gli Umbricelli .

One Day In Spello Italy Itinerary, Umbria’s Charming Hill Town

Spello is an idyllic Umbria hill town with beautiful architecture, rich history, and flowers galore.

Spello has the official designation of one of “the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy.” It’s steeped in history, with ancient walls and medieval buildings that have been beautifully preserved over the centuries.

Spello is also known for its breathtaking landscapes — rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves — that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or simply soaking up the then town’s beauty of the Italian countryside, Spello is a must visit.

The town can easily be explored in a day and this is my recommended one day in Spello itinerary.

Overview Of One Day In Spello Itinerary

Here’s a snapshot glance of what you’ll see with one day in Spello:

Porta Consolare

• Palazzo Communale
• Santa Maria Maggiore
• Baglione Chhapel

Church of Sant’Andrea

• Roman Amphitheater

Porta Venare

Villa of mosaics.

One Day In Spello Itinerary

Here’s my suggested 1 day in Spello itinerary. To get the full scoop on all the Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance attractions in town, you can book a guided walking tour .

You enter the town through the Porta Consolare, the ancient Roman gateway to the town.

This is the best-preserved gateway of its kind in Italy and dates back to the 1st century AD. It’s made of blocks of pink limestone and its tower is topped with an olive tree.

Old Town Stroll

Begin your visit to Spello by taking a stroll through the old town.

This is what I remember most about Spello, wandering down cobbled lanes filled with the scent of thousands of geraniums, petunias, hydrangeas, and roses. In fact, the whole town seems carpeted in flowers.

The main square in Spello is the Piazza de Commune. The main street is Corso Garibaldi, which runs all the way through the town center.

This charming pedestrian street is lined with beautiful historic buildings, shops, cafes, and restaurants.

But be sure to wander down the side streets. Some of them are incredibly narrow and picturesque.

Palazzo Comunale

Stop by the medieval Palazzo Comunale, which houses the town’s civic museum. The Pinacoteca features a collection of works by local and regional artists from the 14th to the 17th centuries, including paintings, sculptures, and other decorative arts.

Some of the museum’s most notable works include paintings by Bartolomeo Caporali, Niccolò Alunno, Bartolomeo Caporali, Bernardino di Mariotto, and Andrea di Lione.

In high season, from April to September, the museum is open from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm.

Santa Maria Maggiore & Baglione Chapel

You should also visit the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, right next door to the palazzo. It’s a beautiful 12th century church with a stunning interior.

The church is famous for its stunning frescos by Pinturicchio and Perugino. In particular, it houses a  Madonna and Child  and a  Pietà  by Perugino. There are also some Deruta ceramics, including a large majolica tiled floor made by the the Grazia family.

The highlight of the church is the spectacular Baglioni Chapel , nicknamed the Capella Bella . It houses a cycle of frescoes by Pinturicchio. They’re considered a treasure of Umbrian art.

Known as the “Little Painter,” Pinturicchio was the third of a trio of artists from this area of Italy, along with Perugino and Raphael. Though he is less appreciated than that pair, Pinturcchio worked for five popes.

The artist has scores of towering achievements, including a painting in the Sistine Chapel, frescos in the Borgia Apartments in the Vatican Museums and the Piccolomini Library in Siena .

His fresco cycle in the Baglioni Chapel depict scenes from the life of Mary and Jesus and are considered some of the artist’s finest works.

You’ll see an Annunciation , the Adoration of the Shepherds , the Nativity , Dispute with the Doctors , and Jesus at the Temple . To the lower right of the Annunciation , you’ll also see a self-portrait of Pinturicchio.

Santa Maria Maggiore is open from 9:45 am to 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm, but closed on Monday. The entry fee is 3 euros.

There are quite a few places in town to grab a quick lunch if you are on the move. I had a panini at Panini Bibite Porchetta.

You can also take a break for lunch at one of the many restaurants in town, Try sampling some of the local Umbrian specialties such as black truffles, wild boar, or strangozzi (a type of pasta).

If you want to sit down, I would try Osteria del Buchetto . It’s a casual restaurant serving classic Umbrian dishes with nice panoramic views.

You could also do a wine and truffle tasting lunch at one of the local wine shops or take a one hour tour at a local winery . If you like e-bikes, this guided tour takes you down the Olive Path Trail for lunch at a winery.

After lunch, explore the Church of St. Andrea. It’s one of the most important religious buildings in Spello. It’s a medieval church next to Santa Maria Maggiore.

It was built in the Romanesque style during the 11th century, but was modified over the centuries.

Inside the church, you can see several notable art works and relics, including a 14th century wooden crucifix by an unknown pupil of Giotto and the mummified body of Andrea Caccioli who was an early follow of St. Francis of Assisi.

There’s also a fresco of the Enthroned Madonna and Child attributed to the Umbrian painter Puccio Capanna, a follower of Pinturicchio.

Roman Ruins

Amphitheater.

Next, explore some of Spello’s Roman past.

Start with the ruins of the Roman Amphitheater. It was built in the 1st century AD and could once seat up to 10,000 people. It’s a peaceful and atmospheric spot with lovely views over the town.

The Porta Venere is one of the four original gates that once provided access to Spello. It’s named after the Roman goddess Venus, and it is located on the eastern side of the town. 

The Porta Venere is one of the best-preserved examples of Roman architecture in Spello. Made of local limestone, it has a simple, rectangular design, with a single arch that spans the roadway.

Its two towers, the Torri dei Properzio, have been restored so they are safe to climb. 

Do you love Roman mosaics? If so, be sure to visit the 4th century Villa of Mosaics on your one day in Spello itinerary.

The villa was discovered by chance in 2005, when a parking lot was being excavated. It’s one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the last 20 years. The villa’s beautifully preserved mosaics are among the finest in Italy and feature intricate designs and vivid colors.

They’re now housed in a state of the art museum. There are 8 main rooms to explore. You will see wild animals, mythological creatures, satyrs, and a wine pouring scene. 

The villa is on a smaller scale than the Villa Romana del Casale in Sicily, but still eminently worth visiting. The ticket price is € 9 or € 14 for a one hour guided tour. Guided tours begin at 10:30 am, 2:30 pm, and 3:30 pm.

Spello Shops

If you are interested in Italian handicrafts, Spello is a good place to shop. You’ll find most of the boutiques right along the main drag in the historic center.

Spello is known for its local goods, including olive oil, honey, handmade ceramics, textiles, olive wood, and leather goods.

The extra virgin olive oil is delicious! It’s made from young moraiolo olives that grow on the hills around Spello. It has a thick green-gold appearance and rather intense flavor.

The town is also home to a number of specialty food shops, where you can find local cheeses, cured meats, and other delicacies. On weekends, there’s a local market.

I came away with a gorgeous leather handbag, a linen blouse, and some olive oil!

Dinner | Evening

If you are staying in Spello for dinner in the evening, I can recommend the Ristorante Enoteca l’Alchimista . The restaurant is housed in a beautifully restored 13th century building and features exposed stone walls, wooden beams, and rustic decor.

The menu focuses on traditional Umbrian cuisine, with a modern twist. Specialties include homemade pasta dishes, grilled meats, and seasonal vegetable dishes. The restaurant also has an extensive wine list.

Tips For Visiting Spello Itinerary

Here are some must know things for spending 1 day in Spello.

1. How To Get To Spello

If you are driving to Spello, you won’t want to drive into the historic center. Spello is a gated town and mostly pedestrianized.

As you approach the town, you will see signs for the centro and for parking. There are quite a few lots outside the city. They are all about a 5 minute walk to the historic center.

I parked at Parcheggio Via Cavour.

Spello is well-connected by train. You have two options to get there.

The closest train station to Spello is the Spello station, which is located just outside the town walls on the eastern side of town. This station is served by local and regional trains, including trains from Rome, Florence, and other major cities in central Italy.

The other nearby train station is the Foligno station, which is located about 6 miles southwest of Spello. This station is served by high speed trains and regional trains, and offers connections to a wide range of destinations throughout Italy.

Once you arrive at the train station, you can reach Spello by taking a local bus or a taxi. Taxis are usually waiting outside the train stations.

2. Where To Stay In Spello

Spello has one very nice hotel, but you may want to enjoy la dolce vita in the countryside.

Hotel Palazzo Bocci is a luxury hotel in a restored 18th century palace in the heart of Spello. It offers spacious rooms and suites, a restaurant serving traditional Umbrian cuisine, a spa, and a beautiful garden.

Borgo della Marmotta is a beautiful agriturismo, which is a 15 minutes drive from Spello. It’s in the countryside near the town of Todi.

It offers rustic-chic rooms and apartments in a restored 17th century hamlet, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and gardens.

3. When To Visit Spello

The best time to visit Spello is spring or fall. In spring, flowers abound, and in fall, it’s black truffle season.

Spello is also famous for its flower festival, so you may want to visit then. The Infiorate di Spello , takes place annually in late May or early June. It’s on June 10-11 this year.

During the festival, the streets of Spello are covered with intricately designed flower carpets. They’re made by local residents and artists using millions of flower petals. 

The Spello Flower Festival is one of the most important events in the town’s calendar. So if you are planning to visit Spello during this time, be sure to book your accommodations well in advance!

4. How Much Time Do You Need To Visit Spello?

The amount of time you need to explore Spello depends on how much you want to see and do. Spello is a small town, so it is possible to see the main attractions on a day trip.

However, if you want to take your time, enjoy a leisurely lunch, and explore the narrow streets and alleys, you may want to consider staying overnight.

5. Can You Visit Both Spello and Assisi In One Day?

Although Spello is a small town, I think it deserves a full day. This is especially true if you don’t want to rush and you want to see all the historic monuments.

But it is possible to do both Spello and Assisi in one day because they are only 8.5 miles apart. If you plan to do both towns, I would start in Spello, wander the town, hit the Baglione Chapel when it opens around 10:00 am, and then head to Assisi.

To visit Assisi in the most efficient way, you may want to book a guided walking tour that includes the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi . For more information, here’s my guide to the best things to do in Assisi .

6. Attractions Do Near Spello

Apart from Assisi, there are some other lovely medieval towns near Spello that you may want to explore.

Gubbio is 33 miles from Spello. It’s a stunning medieval town that has a uniquely well-preserved medieval atmosphere.

Gubbio is famous for its Roman ruins, beautiful Piazza Grande, and the thrill-inducing funicular ride up to the Basilica of Saint Ubaldo.

Just 23 miles from Spello, Spoleto is a captivating hill town that is a hidden gem in Italy . With a medieval fortress overseeing it and the majestic Apennines mountains providing a picturesque backdrop, Spoleto’s visual appeal is unmatched.

Evidence of Etruscan and Roman cultures can be seen throughout the town in the form of ruins, including a Roman amphitheater, a 4th century house, and a 6th century Roman church.

One of Spoleto’s most striking sights is the pale stone Duomo situated on an elegant hillside piazza. Its exterior combines Romanesque and Renaissance styles, making it an excellent subject for photography.

The lovely town of Montefalco is just 9 miles northwest of Spello. It’s a beautiful village that sits atop a mountain overlooking the Clitumnus Valley. Known as the “Balcony of Umbria,” it offers stunning panoramic views.

The Piazza del Comunale is the center of the village. It’s surrounded by palaces from the Middle Ages and filled with coffee shops and wine bars. Seven streets radiate off the piazza.

One must-visit attraction is St. Augustine’s Church, a massive Gothic church with faded frescoes from the 14th to 16th centuries. Montefalco’s Museo di San Francesco is an impressive museum for its size, housing works by  Benozzo Gozzoli and Perugino.

2 thoughts on “One Day In Spello Italy Itinerary, Umbria’s Charming Hill Town”

Hi I truly enjoyed your one day itinerary for Spello and will look at your other itineraries as well. I have two questions:

We will be in Italy in November. Is that a good time to visit Spello? If we are coming from Passignano what train should we take?

Thanks. I think late fall is a great time to visit. I think that’s when the olive oil harvest is too. I think you can take a train from Passignano. But you may have to change in Pertugia. Public transport isn’t the best for small towns. You might even want to splurge on a taxi or private transfer.

Touring Spello: Encounter with a Great Artist

• Guided Hilltown Visits
• Touring Spello: Encounter with a…

Spello, Umbria medieval gem, entices right from your first glimpse as you pull off the highway:

Spello enchants for its medieval architecture, a splendid Renaissance fresco, recently discovered Roman mosaics, and stunning flowering backstreets:

But when exploring Spello, you simply can’t miss seekng out local artists and artisans, linking past artistic traditions to the present.  

And as recent tour guests discovered with me, the goal of one of Spello’s most famed local artist is precisely that:  to emulate Italy’s past artistic techniques and traditions in works he is creating today.

A stop at the  bottega  of artist Elvio Marchionni was a highlight of a recent tour with this California group. In his stone-vaulted gallery, our group met Elvio and met his art.

All of us were fascinated by Elvio’s works on display in this gallery – and even more fascinated as he explained the technique (and I translated) of his unique works, which he calls “ strappi ” (that is, objects which are torn or ripped) for he often paints on the plaster salvaged from the walls of abandoned rural buildings.

As Elvio explained, “I continue the story written by whoever has plastered the wall. And so, I tear out a page of the past, and on it I continue the story.”  Elvio is emulating the work of past fresco artists while also preserving the crumbling plastered walls of countryside farmhouses which he and assistants will “detach” and then affix to canvases for paintings.

Although th is video is in Italian, you can see the start of the creation process of Marchionni’s  strappi:   the detatching of sections of old plaster from abandoned rural buildings.

Elvio once said in an interview, “On the plastered walls, I see  macchie di colore  (“spots of color”) that have crossed centuries of time. I detach the plaster and take it to my studio to observe  and contemplate what is before me, letting the colors and forms suggest to me what is already there – and speak to me.”

As Elvio says, “I continue the story written by whoever has plastered the wall. And so, I tear out a page of the past, and on it I continue the story.” 

Elvio’s extraordinary  strappi “stories” backdropped our group as Elvio talked to us about his art….

..and Doug and Joan purchased paintings done by Elvio on antique paper..

…Lisa, too….

….and Susan as well:

We then all walked across the street to the de-consecrated San Michele Arcangelo church (restored after the 1997 earthquake), now also the studio of Elvio and seat of the Elvio Marchionni Fondazione (Foundation), as a sign on the side wall indicates:

Inside, Marchionni splendors:

In the former presbytery of the church, Elvio pointed out a recent commission for a Foligno church, the Ascension…

Another commission – a painting of the Virgin and Child with St. Clare of Assisi – hung on a wall nearby:

Dave and Doug were intrigued by  strappi  paintings leaning against a wall:

Here are other examples of Elvio Marchionni’s strappi  which he has kindly given me permission to share:

Elvio’s artistic range also includes silk-screen printing…and this one below was presented to Pope Francis by Elvio himself as a gift:

His artistic skills include low reliefs as well:

And what a privilege for us when Elvio invited us into his home/studio across from the church:

His art filled his living space, including beneath the table…

…and on the table itself:

And yet another surprise was in store:   Elvio showed us with pride books he had illustrated…

…including  the early 16th century epic poem of Ludovico Ariosto,  Orlando Furioso…

Before we left, he autographed for each of us books about his work:

Art critic Fabio Lazzari has written extensively on Marchionni’s art, terming his creations “the pages of a diary where Marchionni has skillfully written his personal emotions of a dream that has become true.  The emotions of discovering guided the soul of the artist.  The discovery is not to be seen as an arrival point but just the stage to rest and collect the strength to go on to new horizons.”

Not far from the home/studio is Spello’s church of Santa Maria Maggiore, best-noted for the splendid early 16th-c. fresco cycle of Renaissance master Pinturicchio.

And above a Baroque altar just to the left of Pinturicchio’s Renaissance fresco masterpiece hangs a contemporary masterpiece: of Elvio Marchionni.

And  logicamente,  we all stopped to pay tribute.

Grazie, Maestro.

An Italian Mama's Guide to Italy

Spello, Umbria: the flower-filled Italian town you’ll love

Essential travel guide to Spello, Italy: what to see, where to eat and how to visit one of Italy’s prettiest villages.

Latin poet Propertius called Spello ‘Splendidissima Colonia Iulia’, aka very splendid Spello (Colonia Iulia was Spello’s ancient name).

Indeed, only an expression such as ‘very splendid’ can convey how adorable Spello is! 

A delightful village in Umbria, Spello It is famous for being one of the prettiest villages in Italy and one of the most flowery. 

Its meandering medieval streets are a triumph of verdant balconies and colorful flowers, and the town also hosts a significant flower event called infiorata , which is world famous.

Spello is a picture-perfect, small village in Umbria, Italy’s center.

It is a beautiful town to visit for an afternoon or lunch and is ideal for photographers, foodies and anyone looking for a pleasant, relaxing and quintessentially Italian village stop. 

Why visit Spello

Spello is a pretty town in Umbria, in central Italy.

Already in existence in ancient Roman times, Spello has a beautiful Roman gate, pretty streets and the typical atmosphere of the medieval village that is so typical of central Italy.

It is perfect for a visit if you:

• Want to experience a small, historical town with stone houses and meandering streets
• love cute village corners with climbing plants, old Fiat 500 and local shops, perfect for that iconic central Italian experience
• Love flowers
• Want a pretty place for lunch in typical Umbrian settings
• Look for a car-free town to visit for an afternoon with kids (or without!)

What to see in Spello: Spello itinerary

Spello is a little village with pretty streets, beautiful churches, restaurants and shops.

The whole town is an attraction in itself. If you have been to places like Pienza or San Gimignano , you probably know what I mean. Rather than individual things to see, the town itself is worth seeing. 

That said, I recommend you seek out some specific things to see in Spello. 

Porta Consolare

The first thing you see as you enter Spello is Porta Consolare (Aka Consular Gate).

This ancient gate dates to Roman times and is beautiful and imposing.

Beautiful statues crown the central mouth of the entrance. You find a lovely tower beside it with a surprise on top: an olive tree and some bells!

The tower is lovely and slightly reminiscent of Torre Guinigi in Lucca , albeit not as high. 

The tower overlooks a pretty square with cafes and restaurants and is also where you find an info point for visitors.

Top tip! Just beside the gate, there is a drinking fountain. Use it to fill up your reusable water bottle: the water is free and delicious!

Spello’s churches

Spello develops over the slope of a hill, on the sides of the main street that meanders all the way to the top. 

Along this street, you have many pretty shops, restaurants, and significant and beautiful churches worth seeing. 

I recommend you take a moment to see: 

Cappella Tega , a small chapel with frescoes from the XIV century

Collegiata di Santa Maria Maggiore , a wonderful church from the 1200s especially famous for stunning paintings by Pinturicchio, Perugino and some Deruta ceramics.

The church overlooks a lovely piazza along Via Consolare. It is popular with weddings and a favorite destination for art lovers. 

Its most significant chapel is cappella baglioni, which has singificant an Annunciation, Nativity and paitnings of rhe grour Sybuls by Pinturicchio.

Worth seeing is also the little Hortus, the garden beside the church where you will also find a small drinking fountain.

Church of St Andrea -another wonderful church in Spello is Sant’Andrea, which has a beautifully frescoed chapel with beautiful blue vaults.

Church of San Lorenzo has interesting woodwork also worth seeing for lovers of the genre.

Pinacoteca Civica di Spello

Pinacoteca Civica (Museum) Pinacoteca is Spello’s local art gallery, and it is significant for art lovers as it has a meaningful collection of Renaissance art.

You can find here >>> info and opening hours

Spello’s blooming alley (Spello’s Highlight!)

The most unusual and beautiful thing about Spello for the occasional visitor is the town’s charming alleys.

Spello has a long-lasting tradition taking place each summer between May and mid-August: a flower competition that sees the town’s alley compete with one another for the most beautiful flower display.

The event is called  Finestre, balconi e vicoli fioriti (blooming windows, balconies and alleys) and it is fabulous.

The town is characterized by pretty, ancient houses made of local stones, and local homeowners go out or their ay to decorate the facades, steps and courtyard with vases with flowers of all colors. 

The result is an extravaganza of colors and smells that make the town an absolute delight. 

The alleys are all over the village however, we noticed the prettiest part of all is all the way up, where the streets get narrower, the tourism subsides and the flowers truly take center stage.

Infiorata di Spello (June)

The most famous event in Spello and something that makes Spello unique is the town’s wonderful infiorata .

That of infiorata is a very ancient tradition that you see in some ancient Italian town: in that occasion, the village streets get covered in flower art and turn into real canvases colored by flowers of all types!

In Spello, infiorata happens in June and it is a special event that attracts large crowds.

Find here >>> all info and details

Porta Venere

Porta Venere is another ancient gate in Spello and it is distinctive because of its imposing towers called Torri di Properzio.

The gate is one of the most famous attractions in Spello and has been restored so that the towers are safe to climb. The gate and towers are open at the weekend in the summer season only, usually morning and evening.

Current opening hours are: Friday, Saturday and Sunday: 11:00 – 13:00 e 15:00 – 17:00

Spello’s shops

Spello is a tourist place and has several charming shops where you can buy authentic souvenirs. The best things to buy in Spello are food souvenirs, Deruta ceramics and perfume, especially acqua di spello, which is a local production. 

Visiting Spello with kids

I visited Spello with my kids and my parents and we all loved it.

Being here in the height of summer, the heat was against us (Spello gets a lot of sun!) but we found it to be a pretty and family-friendly town.

A few things you need to know if visiting Spello with kids:

• The town is mostly uphill so it is more easily managed without a stroller.
• There is a nice playground in Giardini Pubblici which is good for small kids (swings, slide, wooden bridge, spring rides, etc)
• There is little shade so if visiting in summer, try to avoid the hottest hours of the day
• There is not a lot for toddlers to do (Aside from the playground) but my kids aged 10 and 12 loved looking at the pretty alleys, exploring the town, trotting around without fear of cars, and peeking in the adorable shops and looking for cats.

Restaurants serve local specialties and are able and willing to make simple pasta for the kids. We noticed high chairs in most restaurants.

There are drinking fountains in several parts of the village.

You have shops selling gelato and pizza.

Where to eat in Spello

We had lunch in a lovely place called ESoTre, just off the main street. 

The restaurant has indoor and outdoor tables.

Outdoor ones follow the slope of the road, making them atmospheric but not ideal with a stroller. If you have a young child, staying indoors may be easier! The service was pleasant and friendly, the food delicious (especially the board of cured meats).

The restaurant has an accessible restroom.

Where to park in Spello

Spello is a gated village surrounded by ancient walls. As such, it is mostly car-free.

Several car park areas are immediately outside its walls and they make leaving the car and exploring easy.

Spello is small and all parking areas are close to the town. 

As you e towards the town, you must follow the signs saying ‘Centro’ (town center) and ‘P’ (Parking area). 

The closest parking area we found was near Piazza della Liberta’; however, we noticed all others were within a 5-minute walk from the town. Despite visiting in summer, we didn’t feel parking to be an issue: make sure you have payment with you (coins or cards) as parking is pay and display. 

The best time to visit Spello

The best time of the year to visit Spello is during the flower festival infiorata (June) and then thee blooming alley time, June to mid-August.

At this time, the weather is likely to be sunny and hot, in July and August even very hot, so some precautions against the heat are necessary.

Light clothing, sun hats, sunscreen and reusable water bottles are a must.

Where to stay near Spello

Since the area of Spello is hilly and verdant, our favorite place to stay in Spello is not in town by nearby.

We love lovely Agriturismo La Corte del Lupo, which has nice rooms, a lovely pool, tons of space for adults and kids and super friendly powers that will make you feel right at home.

I hope you enjoyed this quick travel guide to Spello Umbria and it inspired you to visit!

Spello, Italy: travel guide for the fortified village of Spello in Umbria

Visit Spello

Spello is a medieval village on the slopes of a hill that has retained a great deal of its original aspect and many important monuments and is a pleasure to explore. Still surrounded by the ruins of ancient Roman walls and others built more recently during the Papal domain to create the 'Fortress', Spello is officially classified as one of the most ' beautiful villages in Italy '.

As well as the village itself and the Roman and medieval monuments there are also several important artworks of interest, including a fresco cycle by Pinturicchio in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore which is the most important sight in the village.

Explore Spello: tourism and travel guide

Below we mention many of the highlights in Spello, but of course as with all pretty Italian villages much of the pleasure in a visit is simply wandering through the narrow streets of old town, taking in the atmosphere.

You enter Spello through one of the various gates through these walls: these are the Porta Consolare, Porta Venere, Porta Urbica, Porta Romana and Porta San Sisto. Starting your visit from Porta Consulare, you enter the so-called Terziere del Borgo, a typical medieval village of narrow streets and houses typically of two stories.

One of the most important religious buildings of the city, the 11th century Church of Santa Maria Maggiore , is at the end of 'Consular Street'. According to historical sources the church belonged to the monks of 'Camaldoli' in 1085.

  Advertisement  

It became a Collegiate church in 1187, completed in 1287, but was then extended in 1644 by Master Belardino using ancient materials, such as some Romanesque friezes which were embedded in the Portal.

In the four vaults he painted the four Sibille (Tiburtina, Eritrea, European and Samia), sitting on a throne between two tombstones, on which you can read a few sentences taken from Sacred Scripture. In the side chapels, there are two frescoes by Perugino (1450-1523).

The Spello Art Gallery is in the Palace of the Canons of the Collegiate and has an interesting collection of paintings and frescoes, sculptures and works of fine jewellery. Among the most important works is a polychrome wood sculpture, the "Madonna Enthroned", created between the 12th and 13th centuries and the oldest item in the collection.

In the Frescoes Hall see the “Madonna and Child with Saint Jerome and Saint Bernardino” by Andrea d'Assisi (1480-1521), a pupil of Pinturicchio who was active in Spello in the 16th century. Also worth mentioning are the "Christ Crucified between the Virgin and Saints Francis, John the Evangelist and Bishop Crispolto", by Niccolò di Liberatore, called the “Alunno” (1430-1502), and the “Madonna and Child”, attributed to Pinturicchio.

Nearby you can visit the Church of San Andrea , altered over the centuries, but remarkable for its Romanesque style portal and for the presence in the apse of the main altar of some frescoes by the Umbrian school and a painting by Pinturicchio.

The Piazza della Repubblica has many interesting buildings such as the 13th century Municipal Palace, now home to the Archaeological Museum .The museum has fragments of the Roman Theatre and other artefacts such as the document in which Constantine gave Spello the right to erect a temple to the 'Gens Flavia'.

In Piazza Umberto I you can see the Church of San Lorenzo , dating from the 12th century but altered in the 16th century. It is divided into three naves with massive pillars and with three chapels, the first of which is dedicated to the “Virgin Mary Crowned”.

There is also the Sacrament Chapel, built by Filippo Neri da Foligno in 1789 and containing a tabernacle by Flaminio Vacca (1538-1605) that was once on the main altar. On the left wall of this chapel is a door from which we enter the Chapel of the Trinity.

The Church is very rich in frescoes, and in particular we mention those by Bartolomeo da Miranda [active 1435 to 1475] ("The Mystical Marriage of Saint Catherine"), a "San Bernardino", attributed to Tiberio d'Assisi (1470-1524), and “St. Laurent and two angels” (early XVI cent.) by Andrea Camassei da Bevagna (1602-1649).

Going along the "Way of the Roman Arch" you are now entering the upper part of the city, called the "Rocca" and which was once a medieval fortress of which some towers remain. The area is now occupied by the Capuchin Monastery, which includes the ancient Church of San Severino , with the façade in Romanesque style. There are lovely views from the Porta dell'Arco and other places in the old town.

Following the walls of the fortress along Via Torre del Belvedere, Via San Agostino and Via delle Mura Vecchie in upper Spello you find the monumental Venus Gate, with an Arch and three barrel-vaults. This is inserted into an structure divided by pilasters and cornices, and alongside two powerful towers that make a strong visual impact and were constructed perhaps before the time of Frederick II of Swabia (others suggest they were built later, under Cardinal Albornoz (1310-1367)).

From the Venus Gate you reach the ruins of the Roman Amphitheatre dating from the 1st century AD and the Porta Urbica, another of the entrances to the Roman city.

Nearby is the interesting Church of San Claudio , an example of Romanesque architecture, built, they say, on an ancient temple dedicated to the god Saturn. According to the Annals of Camaldoli the church belonged to the order of Camaldoli from 1025 and it is a real "rustic" church, with a very attractive façade featuring a large rose window. Inside there are also some late 14th century frescoes by unknown artists.

Unusually, the rose window is not perpendicular to the portal, giving the church an asymmetry that is its key characteristic. The phenomenon is also evident inside, so it’s very likely that the asymmetry has been "designed", and probably has some symbolic meaning perhaps the "inversion" of something else, such as paganism.

Inside, if you look carefully at the altar you can see that it consists of a pillar, on which there is the cover, but "inverted", of a Roman sarcophagus. Perhaps the church refers to the “overthrow of paganism” by Christianity.

Also worth mentioning as you explore Spello is the Church of Saint Jerome , with an adjoining monastery. This complex was built in 1472 under Braccio Baglioni (1419-1479), with a rectangular portico supported by Ionic columns and is decorated with 16th century frescoes, among them “St. Francis receiving the stigmata”, by Pier Antonio Mezzastri.

Inside there are a ciborium and a 16th century wooden crucifix. In the choir is a fresco ("The Marriage of Maria") by the school of Pinturicchio.

The complex of St. Jerome stands in a very beautiful setting in the area near Mount Subasio where you have easy access to the surroundings of Spello. The region has a significant number of farms where you can taste some of the traditional dishes such as the fried eggs with truffles, fried wild boar or the red potatoes of Colfiorito. A perfect end to your explorations of Spello.

Enoteca Properzio 1

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

A warm May lunchtime .. an unplanned visit to Spello (great place to wander round) but where to eat? The terrace outside Enotecha Properzio starting to fill up with locals and regulars so no contest! Playful and charming reception from the host, pasta with fresh... truffle, plate of local cold meats, mixed bruschetta plate - all fabulous taste and accompanied by Sagrantino and other good wines suggested and explained. Great atmosphere of everyone enjoying their food and drink. A perfect late Spring lunchtime in Umbria ... More

We stayed at a hotel in Assisi that included a tour of and a lunch in Spello in its rate. We are generaly suspicious of a lunch included in a rate. Our lunch at Enotica Properzio 1 was very different. Roberto and lucca, a terrific... father - son team, treated us as family. We ate outside on a beautiful day. By the end of the meal, there were ten wine glasses and four olive oil bottles on the table. I don't recall exactly what we ate but, the lunch was delicious. We rarely buy anything on "included" lunches or tours. Of course this time we purcahsed wine and oliver oil. The process was seemless and we received the package within a month of our lunch. All in all, our trip to Umbria was made even more special having met Roberto and Lucca. More

You're wandering around Umbria, just left Assisi; got an appointment for a late lunch and wine tasting at a little place in Spello (not Spoleto), highly recommended by a good friend. The proprietor, Roberto greets you like famiglia, because any friend of the family is... well, famiglia! Sitting outside a 300 year old building on a delightful day in a cozy courtyard, you are introduced to the wines, cheeses, meats, dishes & desserts of this golden province. Roberto's children, Luca & Irene are your English tour guides, as knowledgeable and charming as their father, which is a pretty tough assignment! The wines, the pairings, the intimate detail of the wine (if you're interested) made for a fantastic afternoon. Yes, we bought wine, more than I had intended; yes we'll be back and yes by all means go if you'll be in the area. Bob Cherichella More

Would have loved to have visited there during our week stay in late March early April but was closed. No indication as to why. I assume non-tourist season???

Wandering down a street off of the main road of Spello, we stumbled upon this wonderful little Enoteca tucked into the side of a medieval building. We started with a great bruschetta with the local olive oils, then had a wonderful panini with prosciutto. We... also experienced some of the top italian wines, as we were given a Cervaro della sala and then an incredible barolo carina francia di Conterno. Even with all the great food and top-notch wine, the price was still completely reasonable. Combining the food and wine with the incredible location, Enoteca Properzio 1 is definitely not to be missed while in Spello! More

My husband and I went her three years ago from a trip advisor review on our way back from Assisi and had the best meal and wine tasting experience that made us fall in love with the Angelini family and sweet town of Spello. This... time we brought our 20 year olds and we all had an equally magic experience. The food, cooked by Mama Angelini, was some of the best food we had in Italy and the knowledge conveyed by Luca and Roberto, his dad, throughout the whole pairing was so generous and fun for all of us. Save a few hours and don't drive afterwards since they are so generous with the delicious wines. More

We were recommended to visit Enoteca Properzio while cycling thru Spello on our way from Assisi to Spoleto & I have to say it was one of the highlights of our trip!! Roberto his daughter Irena were so hospitable & of course very knowledgeable of... all the wines! It was truly an amazing experience - not only a wonderful meal but we tried some very special wines, olive oils & aged balsamic. This family & business is fabulous!!😘❤️🍷👍 More

I loved this place! Hosts are the best. Friendly and very knowledgeable in their wines. Best part is the sampling. They have a small store where they sell a lot of products, although pricey, but offer some of the best wines in the world. I... will be back! 😁 More

A must for a glass of wine (or many!) and some local cheese or cold cuts after the climbing of this fantastic medieval city. The server was a fun and beautiful girl that really made us enjoy the wine and the atmosphere. They have a... great selection of wines from Umbria. More

If your looking for great food and pleasant, friendly staff you must visit Enoteca Properzio 1. This was one of my favorite places to get a bite in all of Italy! They have many food choices and the wines are recommended by what would compliment... the meal. My experience couldn't have been better! More

Had lunch here one day with 2 other couples. The owner and his daughter were so engaging and lovely. They were very proud of there local produce and justifiably so. 3 courses with matched wine was a great way to spend a few lazy lunch... hours. Do yourself a favour its a Spello must. More

We visited Spello during a week in Umbria and happened upon Enoteca Properzio around lunch time. A New York Times article caught our attention so we got a table for two. Irene seated us and took our order. We sampled some white wine, Grechetto, a... rosso blend (mostly Sangiovese ) and a Sagrantino. The food was wonderful - my wife had a caprese salad and I had a mix of salami, prosciutto, cappicola and melon. Irene's father, Roberto, brought us the wines to sample. We decided to ship a case home. We don't find Umbrian wines at home in the same quantities as those from Tuscany and other regions. Spello is a beautiful hill town with art and lovely views. If you go, eat and drink at Properzio. More

Locally, Enoteca Properzio 1, is known as Properzio Uno. The name comes from the fact that it was the original location of the Angelini Family's wine shop. It is overshadowed now by the Enoteca Properzio 2, which is open 12+ hours a day and is... the site for fabulous wine tastings with accompanying food choices. However, if you are in Spello and looking to enjoy a light lunch of panini, salads, mixed cold meats, etc., Properzio Uno is an overlooked jewel. It is easy to walk to from the Center. It was beautifully renovated and decorated about 4 years ago, including the installation of air conditioning. Many of the same great wines found at the Enoteca are available here, too, by the glass or bottle. But, partaking of wine is not an expectation. Soft drinks, water and coffee are available. The prices are comparable to the 'tourist menu' prices along the main street but here you can enjoy a quieter meal in greater comfort. It is on the street named Properzio and is only a few paces from one of the most photographed historic sites in Spello. Families are welcome and the lower room can accommodate a larger group or provide family style seating for strangers soon to become friends! My wife and I are regulars here during our frequent stays in Spello. More

Stopped by for a casual "lunch" and ended up having a wonderful wine tasting and lunch experience. Father and son, Roberto and Luca, are fun, engaging and gave us a great amount of time and attention. The wine and olive oil offerings were outstanding and... we ended up buying quite a bit of each to ship back!! Have been to quite a few tastings throughout Italy (at wineries) and this was a standout experience; would never have guessed it from when we first decided to stop for lunch. One can experience as much as desired, from a light lunch to what we enjoyed. The kind of place to enjoy with friends. Was a standout experience during our stay in Umbria. More

Scopri l'Umbria

Francesca cardinali  guida turistica dell'umbria.

Mi  chiamo Francesca Cardinali   sono nata e vivo in Umbria, uno scrigno di capolavori dell’arte e della natura, un vero e proprio museo all’aria aperta che sorprende ogni volta chi la visita.

Perché visitare l'Umbria ?

Insieme scopriremo città e borghi medievali arroccati, i grandi artisti come Giotto, Cimabue, Perugino, Pintoricchio, Benozzo Gozzoli, Luca Signorelli (per citarne solo alcuni), i luoghi legati alla spiritualità religiosa come santuari ed eremi perché si sa, l’Umbria è anche terra di Santi importanti.

Potremo inoltre ammirare scorci mozzafiato e passeggiare attraverso una natura rigogliosa dalle tinte verde scuro, attraversare il suo specchio d’acqua, il lago Trasimeno e gustare la tipica cucina Umbra semplice e genuina, sempre accompagnata dai vini caratteristici della zona.

Scegli la città o l’itinerario che fa per te e contattami senza impegno per chiarimenti e per programmare la tua visita in Umbria.
