An elegant 4-star boutique hotel and spa in a 17th-century former mill in the centre of medieval Spello, with a panoramic terrace and pool overlooking the valley toward Assisi and Mount Subasio. The property pairs a gourmet restaurant with massage and wellness facilities among the olive groves.
La Bastiglia is an elegant four-star boutique hotel and spa occupying a restored seventeenth-century former mill in the upper part of medieval Spello, one of Umbria's prettiest hill towns, famed for its flower-decked streets and Roman walls. Built into the hillside among olive groves, the hotel offers a panoramic terrace and an outdoor pool with sweeping views across the Umbrian valley toward Assisi and Mount Subasio. The interiors retain stone walls, beamed ceilings and traces of the original mill while providing comfortable, individually styled rooms across categories from Classic and Deluxe Rooms to Suites and a Luxury Apartment, several with private terraces or valley views. Dining is a highlight: the hotel's gourmet restaurant has a strong regional reputation, serving creative Umbrian cuisine using local olive oil, truffles and seasonal produce, paired with regional wines, and breakfast makes use of local products. A small spa and wellness area offers massages and treatments, complementing the pool and terrace for relaxation. The atmosphere is intimate and romantic, with attentive service suited to couples and food-focused travellers. Spello's location, just off the Via Flaminia between Foligno and Assisi, makes it an excellent base: the town's Pinturicchio frescoes in Santa Maria Maggiore, its Roman gates and the famous Infiorate flower festival are within walking distance, while Assisi, Perugia, Bevagna and Montefalco are a short drive away. Rates typically range from around EUR 90 to EUR 160 per night, offering boutique comfort, notable dining and panoramic views in the heart of one of Umbria's most charming medieval towns.
