For tourist information on the spot, Pro Spello is very helpful: its office is next to the church of S. Andrea.

| Hotel Palazzo Bocci **** |
Via Mancinelli, 2
|
Expensive, but elegant: some rooms have frescoed ceilings. A rooftop terrace offers a terrific view. (The hotel is also only halfway up the hill, so that if you're staying there, you never have too far to climb at once.) |
| Albergo del Teatro *** |
hoteldelteatro@mclink.it
|
Modern, conveniently located, and particularly courteous staff. (The hotel's website includes a page on Spello with a very good map.) |
| Hotel Altavilla *** |
|
About a kilometer N of town on the lower slopes of Mt. Subasio. |
| Il Portonaccio |
Via Cavour, 17
|
I have never been inside this hotel, but see it well in my mind's eye: it is a small graceless rectangular concrete building in the plain, alone of all the hotels in being well outside the walls of the old town, in a location far from all the sights, and convenient only to parking. |
| Hotel La Bastiglia *** |
Via Dei Molini, 17
|
Attractively located at Spello's "back door". Best place to stay if you're a bicyclist or walker. The restaurant has a very pleasant terrace, and a particularly cozy and attractive indoors room. A (partial) view from the terrace, taken by a bicyclist guest in fact, can be found here. |

In the fall of 1997, I rented an apartment from Mr Zurlo for two months, because he was the only one I knew of, since he was on the Web and the others were apparently not. I was a repeat customer for 3 months in 1998. Diary entry: 8/30/97 |

A few large modern apartments in the center of town, over the Ristorante Il Pinturicchio and under the same management. In the summer of 2000, I stayed 2 nights in one of them. Diary entry: 8/17/00 As for the restaurant — closed Tuesdays — I once considered it the best in Spello, and even one of the 5 best in Umbria, yet averagely priced: there are very many happy references to it thruout my diary. In 1998, it was very good; and in 2000, it was better still. Unfortunately, in 2002 the restaurant was farmed out to new managers and it declined markedly. |
There are a number of agriturismi nearby; a photo of one of them, Le Due Torri, can be seen here.
Spello is just off the SS75 highway from Foligno to Perugia; it is a stop on the train line (Ferrovie dello Stato) from Terni to Perugia via Foligno. There is no major bus line.
Specialty wine store: Enoteca di Properzio (the page linked is a good map of most of downtown Spello)
