While relatively spartan, Castello di Morcicchia is a superb place to spend time in a serene, peaceful setting in the Umbrian countryside, far from the maddening tourist hordes. The Castle is within easy driving distance of Umbria's most renowned hilltop towns and many smaller ones. There are some very pretty walks into the surrounding forests. And a fantastic terrace at the top of the castle on which to sit in the sun and gaze at the sublime vistas.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful house. The gardens are stunning and planted with lots of lovely flowering plants including a flowering climbing wisteria. The house is a good size. We really appreciated that there were a few basics left for us (some coffee, tea, oil, salt / pepper, and also plentiful teatowels, etc) and that the house was generally so well equipped. This makes such a difference for us as we are always travelling from Australia and don't usually stay long enough in a place to justify and use these items. This trip was a combined work and holiday, so we worked most mornings and explored all the beautiful nearby hilltop towns in the afternoons. We had two delicious dinners – at L’Achemista in Montefalco and at DELI in the main square in Todi. Both were excellent and we highly recommend them. We absolutely loved Bevagna and Todi and enjoyed a day trip to Assisi, where we went to a nice restaurant for lunch called La Selva, the last restaurant before the Basilica. We also thought the tower in Gualdo Cattaneo was worth seeing. And Orvieto's duomo and underground caves tour is also worth a visit. Beautiful property perfectly located for exploring this fantastic part of Italy. We hope to be back!

Honestly we were so happy with our stay in this gorgeous home in Spello. I have no doubt that if we return to Italy, we will return to Spello and hopefully stay here again. The view from the patio was unreal and the accommodation itself was very charming. Our check in process was great, the host was so lovely with showing us around and getting us settled in. We could not recommend this stay enough.

The house was exactly as shown in the photos, very well furnished and everything you could want in kitchen, dining. Beautiful views over the countryside and very quiet. A great place to unwind.

Lovely location near Spello old city. Great pool which was used every day of our stay.

Wonderful location. Fantastic courtyard to enjoy a drink in the afternoon. The owner Roberto was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He picked me up and dropped me back at the station. Highly recommend this accommodation.
