Explore the Cities and Towns of Umbria

Overview

The town of Spello is a town located on the hills of the region of Umbria in the center of Italy which is about 1 and a half hours north of Rome and only six miles south of Assisi, though fareless touristy than the nearby towns to its north. Spello is known as the the "City of Flowers" because it boasts beautifu flower-lined streets.

Perrched high on the hill overlooking the valley, visiting the town which is mostly car-free, will give your legs a nice workout. Via Consolare goes from the bottom to the top of the town. Views from the terrace of the II Trombone restaurant will leave you speechless. This picturesque town has bastions and gateways that bear witness to its past as a Roman settlement.

The Church of Santa Maria Maggiore has the Baglioni Chapel with breathtaking frescoes. By the alter are frescoes by Perugino. Nearby, in the Church of Sant'Andrea, built in 1025, is a painting by Pinturicchio and a crucifix attributed to Giotto. At the base of town Roman mosaics were discovered in 2005. In the springtime for the Infiorate del Corpus Domini, inhabitants paint images on the streets with flower petals.

Visiting Spello and the region of Umbria is a wonderful opportunity for visitors to Italy who don't want to do the typical tourist stuff! There are great vineyards and wonderful properties to stay in, in the town itself or outside.

In August 2018, my family of four and myself travelled from Vancouver, BC to Rome Italy and spent 3 weeks touring Italy with IVS. This company had come highly recommended by many friends and associates of ours who had used them before and indeed to say they do an outstanding job is an understatement. You can tell while being in Italy that it is one complicated place to run tours in, just by the ... [Read More]

This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there, like in every place ... [Read More]
