From the moment of our arrival we felt like we entered a charmed place. We instantly fell in love!
It was comfortable and welcoming in every way and perfect for our family of two adults and two young boys.
What were the highlights? Sipping cool drinks by the pool on the hilltop at sundown, surveying
the olive groves and countryside below and the hills in the distance--- the air filled with the laughter and sounds of our two boys (Nicholas and Matteo, ages 6 and 2) splashing in the pool, and the distant sound of sheep bells. Sitting in the open doorway listening to thunder, watching lightning in the distance
during a summer storm. Dining in the evening on one of the little terraces looking down on the hills below appreciating our good fortune at being in such a lovely place.
We felt so at home that we barely scratched the surface in touring Umbria so we'll have to plan a return visit.
We really appreciate all the attention to detail that made our visit so special. THANK YOU for sharing "yourSpoleto".
Best wishes and many, many thanks,

The warm welcome to Spoleto from Federica at the wonderful hospitality of the Marini Family was a fabulous introduction to the beautiful region of Umbria.
We drove to many medieval villages – Norcia, Orvieto, Scheggino, Todi, Trevi, Assisi, Gubbio, Gualdo Tadino, Monteleone, Nocera Umbra. Our favorite were Spello & Gubbio.
We experienced many long lunches in various villages. Two very special meals were enjoyed by all at “Tempio del Gusto” in Spoleto.
The apartment provided us will a wonderful central location from which to explore the area.
The luxury and confort of the apartment was appreciated & enjoyed by each of us.
Thank you for the “Welcome” food Hamper, the recommendations, of restaurants, wines & drives.
Sincere appreciation to all the Marini family for making this such a memorable one.

Travel is an adventure, where you stay, who you meet and where you go make the adventure. We have been fortunate to stay in this lovely apartment and meet the Marini family who have been great hosts. The apartment was more than we expected and provided a great base for our travels, through Umbria. We enjoyed the Montefalco wine, in fact we shared at least one bottle each day. Our favourite was the wine from the Tabarrini family vineyard. We want to thank Federica, Anna & Giorgio for their outstanding hospitality. Their extra effort, each little thing aided to make our stay more enjoyable, more unforgettable.
We hope we will return to Spoleto again so we can experience the Marini hospitality again.
Thank you, Steven & Gail
