A charming townhouse in the town of Spello, a little village in Umbria not far from the famous town of Assisi. Spello belongs to "Borghi più belli d'Italia" (the most beautiful villages in Italy), an association that comprises only the towns that have succeeded in preserving their monuments and artistic masterpieces in perfect architectural harmony, along with a quality of life that can infuse a new rhythm and taste into our times.
The town is built entirely from the pinkish limestone of the mountain it sits on: as the sun goes down the entire hamlet gleams with an extraordinary pink hue that gives a particular light to the houses clinging to the hillside, the roofs and the ancient walls. Surrounded by it's fortress walls, in its narrow lanes, baskets of flowers hanging off the windowsills and doorways, with characteristic tower houses and lively squares reminiscent of ancient times.
Each May, the town celebrates the feast of the Infiorata where the streets are carpeted with pictures created by flowers. It is a remarkable event and draws tourists from around the world.
This lovely little town has roots from Roman times, layered with Medieval and Renaissance architecture lending it to be one of the most romantic and charming villages in Italy. The town itself is a work of art, and this lovely little home has the same magical characteristics, it is a real gem and you will fall in love with this home and its town.
The house started as a church built in the middle of the 1500's. The present owners have restored it to a warm and welcoming home. Reached from a small street winding through the town, your private gate leads into your private gardens with spectacular views of the valley stretched before you. You can relax midday in the garden or step outside and within a few meters, you come to the main square few where you can find many different shops and restaurants.
