About the home

Our large private pool, 7 miles away at the beautiful Villa Marianna, is included in the rental rate - transport can be arranged. Further details automatically given in response to all enquiries.

Il Parco is just outside the wall of Spoleto, opposite one of its main entrances and directly into its beautiful park. Just cross the road to the historic centre that is just inside the walls, and then a 2 - 3 minutes stroll will take you directly into Piazza Liberta and all the shops, restaurants, bars and main piazzas in the actual heart of the historic centre of Spoleto. Here, the tourist office faces an old Roman Ampitheatre that has been completely restored and where many concerts and theatre productions take place. When you sit in this amphitheatre, you can’t help but imagine those days so very long ago when the Christians were thrown to the lions, such is the architecture and the magical atmosphere of the place !!!

A 6 year old, smart apartment in a beautiful, tree-lined avenue, Il Parco has a modern/traditional atmosphere with a stylish, elegant interior. On the 2nd floor (there is a lift/elevator), it nestles in the tree-tops with pretty views of the nearby hills through which you can walk to your hearts content and experience the most amazing views as you climb higher and higher into them. This is a great location, being close to the mountains, beautiful walks through the woods just to the back of you and, at the same time, bars, restaurants and shops, all easily accessible in the historic city centre of Spoleto, just a few minutes stroll through the park.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
There are 2 shower rooms, 2 bedrooms (1 double and 1 twin – the twins can be joined on request), 1 washing machine in a separate area, 1 fitted kitchen and 1 living/dining room with SKY Sat TV and many English-speaking channels…CNN, BBC (inc Prime), Sky, Fox….

A real plus are the 3 balconies - 1 medium one off the living room (seats 4 snugly), another long one off the double bedroom (room for 2 sunbeds - 2nd one on request and no charge) and a rather cute one that wraps around a corner of the twin bedroom (seats 2). Two of the balconies look towards pretty tree-tops and the hills around Spoleto. The corner one, off the twin bedroom, looks across at the park.

Please request a high chair and/or cot - available at no extra charge.

Further details outdoors:
You can park on the street outside Il Parco.

There is a bus that stops just a minute away and that will take you to the train station in a matter of minutes.

Piazza Liberta, the very centre of Spoleto, is just 3 minutes walk across the park - this apartment is in a brilliant position....and, there is a rather up-market restaurant, La Casina, and gelateria across the road in the park - here, for all you gournet types, the food is absolutely superb - a very creative chef. It is a little more pricey than the other local restaurants but well worth it.

There is a smart tennis club nearby and there are many swimming pools in and around Spoleto. We provide an information sheet, that will be in the apartment when you arrive, on all the local facilities such as pools, markets, restaurants, walks, places to visit and so on.

He can also, usually, deliver you back to the station of your departure day. I say "usually" just in case our car ihappens to be unavailable.

If you arrange to hire a car locally in Spoleto, then many of our guests use AVIS and, PROVIDING YOU BOOK THROUGH THEIR LOCAL SPOLETO OFFICE, AVIS will meet you at Spoleto station with the car or send a cab for you FREE OF CHARGE.

The Umbria region

Unlike Tuscany, where Chianti has been dubbed, Chianti-shire, referring to the invasion of the Brits from the British home counties over the past 50 years, Umbria has remained “unpolluted” by tourism. Indeed, you can drive along stunningly beautiful country roads, over mountains and through valleys, and never see another car ! Naturally, this keeps the prices down since the many restaurants, trattorias and pizzerias, all competing with each other, depend on local trade the year round for their income.

A trip to Umbria is a trip back in time. Mediaeval mists stretch across endless landscapes. A land of traditions and rich culture. A magnificently, unspoiled area of rolling, forested hills, sprawling grassy meadows covered with flowers, olive groves, vineyards, lakes and valleys. Dotted with picturesque, medieval, hill top villages, Umbria is famous for its cuisine………….truffle, boar, porcini mushrooms, fine wines from Orvieto and Montefalco as well as the friendliness and hospitality of its people.

The “hot-spots” of Umbria eg Perugia, Orvieto, Montefalco, Todi, Spello, Norcia, Casteluccio, Trevi, Gubbio, with Spoleto at their cultural centre, have festivals throughout the year, celebrating truffle, chocolate, various pastas, asparagus and boar – all in a context of song, dance, choral music and orchestra. The Spoleto festival is also known as the Festival of Two Worlds.

Spoleto is THE most fascinating place to stay in Umbria. Centrally located, it combines ancient and modern, simplicity and sophistication, town and country, the richest of cultural heritages, bound up in the handful of aristocratic families, who have owned and controlled Spoleto since the turn of the century with love and respect for their land. Now, the young ones are in power and are keen to open up Spoleto to the rest of the world, to show off their traditional farming methods, their cuisine and just the sheer beauty of the place.

To stay anywhere else, you risk missing the ultimate experience : the complex mix of food, fashion, religion, architecture, bars, churches, museums, art galleries, arched, cobbled streets, older than Rome…all to be found in and around this most famous city of all, Spoleto, the city of the rich and famous and, up until now, Italy’s best kept secret !

The Spoleto / Central Spoleto area

Here, you most certainly don't need a car. A bus stops nearby that can take you to the train station in a matter of minutes. Alternatively, it is an extremely pretty walk through old Spoleto along the fairy-tale mediaeval streets to the train station. It would take you abut 30 minutes.

Spoleto is close to Assisi, Foligno, Trevi, Bevagna, Perugia, Todi, Orvieto, San Gemini, and Gubbio. It is about 1.5 hours to Lake Bolsena, Lake Trasimeno, Rome, 5 hours to Venice, 4 hours to Naples and 2.5 hours to Pisa, Sienna and Florence.

Staying in Il Parco is to be at the entrance of what could be described as a giant mediaeval castle, peppered with piazzas, sprinkled with bars, restaurants and shops amidst a maze of tunnelled, cobbled lanes and alley-ways, all leading skywards to the famous Rocca and Il Ponte, the huge stone bridge, set into the mountains, and, the best views in the world - just 10 minutes walk. A surreal setting, akin to a stage-set in the making, fringed by mountains, olive groves, vineyards, mediaeval monasteries, towns, cities and hill-top villages.

Spoleto is the ultimate temptress. It has been quoted as being Prince Charles’ favourite city – indeed, he has a place in the hills looking down on this mediaeval city. Once under her spell, you are lost forever in her beauty. You must use all your will-power to leave this place, even for a short while. It is the most captivating city in Italy, except for Venice – canals versus mountains. Like Venice, Spoleto has a history to be reckoned with. And, of all the Italian cities, it is one of the most diverse in what it has to offer the world traveller.

Glamour and style….. Or, walking boots and a stick ! The choice is yours !

“Fantastic” The Il Parco apartment was the perfect place for my husband and me and our college age daughter. It is right on the park that leads into the center of Spoleto, an easy and delightful walk. The Il Parco apartment was our favorite vacation rental during out two week stay in Italy. Norma and Laurie were wonderful to deal with, welcoming and accommodating, and provided a helpful list of recommended sites, restaurants, etc. The apartment was spacious, sparkling clean, the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make meals, and especially thoughtfully stocked with salt, sugar, spices, oil, pasta, coffee, and milk, which made it easy to get a jump start on shopping to make meals "at home" (as we liked to call it). We always ate on the large, flower filled balcony. The beauty of the town and of the accommodations made our stay in Spoleto enchanting, we could return again and again.
