Perfect holiday home for a relaxed stay in Spoleto

Comfortable, well equipped, thoughtful and efficient management, ideal location for access to both the station for day trips and to the centro storico for exploring Spoleto. We loved staying here even though the rain meant we couldn't make use of the terrace. The apartment was so comfortable and well located that it was ideal. We explored by both train and bus, visiting Assisi, Spello, Montefalco, Perugia, the Cascata Marmore and more, all easily accessible. Local shops and supermarkets were all within walking distance and a shopping trolley was provided to make shopping so easy. The owners' restaurant recommendations were spot on - we couldn't have hoped for better. We are looking forward to coming back again.

Stayed 14 nights in May 2023

Spoleto and Terrazza Bella are treasures

There is so much to like about Terrazza Bella in Spoleto, Umbria, Italy. The apartment is plenty big for two to four people and is lovely and comfortable. The kitchen area is roomy. There is lots of light in every room, and there are French doors that open onto the terrazza, which is definitely bellissima! Yes, the terrazza is spacious, tranquil, and somewhat private, with well-kept plants and flowers all around. And the view to the hills is both beautiful and calming. On the other side of the apartment, the balcony looks out over the lively Via Porta della Fuga, yet the triple-glazed window-doors keep out the noise from the crowds enjoying the night life below. The location of the apartment is really ideal: within a 20 minute walk to the train station; close to the moving sidewalks and escalators will take you to the top of the city if you don’t care to walk the steep streets; a short walk to several grocery stores; minutes away from many restaurants, bars, stores, butchers, fruit and vegetable markets, and banks. As for Spoleto, it is a perfect home base for exploring Umbria. We took easy train rides to a day each in Assisi, Perugia, and Spello, and rented a car at very reasonable rates to drive to towns and sites not accessible by train. We definitely recommend visiting Norcia, Bevagna, Montefalco, and the Cascata delle Marmore, in nearby Terni. But there is plenty to see and do and eat in Spoleto itself, which is a lively, cultural, and friendly small city. The Spoleto card offers an economical way to visit museums, the Fortezza, the Roman amphitheater, and many other historical treasures. Among our favorite restaurants were Il Tempio del Gusto, Cava Truffles and Bubbles, Osteria del Matto, and Novecento. Caffe degli Artisti in the Piazza del Mercato is a great place to start the day with a cappuccino, pastry, and free wifi. We loved our time in Terrazza Bella and have just one complaint. The wifi was inconsistent, sometimes weak, and sometimes nonexistent. If your cell phone works in Italy and has data services, you won’t be bothered. Norma and Laurie provide an extensive list of restaurant recommendations, and Laurie picked us up at the station, and gave us a great tour of the immediate area and introductions to local restaurant owners. Parking was available behind the building.

Great Home Base

We were two couples travelling together and spent four nights at Terazza Bella after a weeklong stay in Perugia. Laurie met us at the Conrad shopping plaza as prearranged, and we followed him to the apartment located in the lower part of town, just inside the walls, and a short walk from Piazza Garibaldi. In the square, you will find ATM machines, restaurants and a wonderful bakery. As well, there are several large grocery stores nearby, one is within walking distance. The apartment was well equipped and adequately furnished. One bedroom had double beds and the other twin. It is located along a pedestrian only street which made weekend evenings very noisy even with the windows closed however, the weeknights were quiet. Since the apartment is located in the lower portion of Spoleto, and most of the sites are located in the upper area, we were faced with quite the hike each day, but there is a moving sidewalk nearby that travels to the upper portion and it’s free. Laurie showed us were the sidewalk was located as there is no signage – we took the sidewalk up, saving considerable effort and walked down. The sidewalk closes at 9:00pm. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the top and one can get off at various points. It is worthwhile to purchase the Spoleto card for 8Euro, it is good for a week and if one wishes to visit all the sites, it would total 40Euro. We also booked the onsite parking and only drove when we wished to visit the countryside. Try to avoid driving and parking in Upper Spoleto, while we were at the Tourist Bureau, we overheard that a couple was facing a 90Euro infraction fee for taking their car into the square. As an aside, it is worthwhile to visit the Tourist Info Centre. It is equipped with informative brochures and suggested walks. Try to spend an evening strolling around the Rocco with all the locals, viewing the Pointe delle Torri all lit up and then stopping at the bar just outside the Rocco for a drink in the evening – the views are outstanding. Overall our stay was comfortable. We enjoyed eating our meals on the balcony and returning to the apartment for afternoon siestas, or just to regroup before continuing the day’s adventures.

Perfect place, in a Fabulous town!

We spent 8 wonderful days in this well-appointed apartment, on the 4th floor of a historic building. Loved the open plan kitchen/living area, with big doors onto the plant-rich patio; golden light and a warm, indoor/outdoor feel. This is a remarkably private and secure place, given that it's in a very busy town. Double glazing means you can shut out sounds from the pedestrian street far below; but for us that was part of being there. Also, it's all so easy thanks to the private parking space (by arrangement) plus elevator. Norma and Laurie are such generous hosts: they will do anything they can to make your stay perfect! But the location really makes it. We loved just walking out in any direction: to a cafe or restaurant, to participate in the passeggiata, to see the wonderful buildings and sights there are in Spoleto... we spent more days in town than planned, simply because we loved 'living in Spoleto', and the apartment makes you feel as if you do. We look forward to returning! (this is a copy of my trip advisor review - decided it should be on homeaway too!)

Very well located

Terrazza Bella has a really good location in Spoleto - really close to the "escalator" to take you up the hill to the Rocca and Sacred Hills and on the main street where the locals walk for their early evening promenade. But the flat was extremely quiet and peaceful even though central. Everything we needed was in the flat including English channels on the TV. The heating and hot water were very efficient and the landlord very helpful - he even picked us up and dropped us off at the railway station. I highly recommend Spoleto as a town to visit - it was even nicer than I expected and wonderful if you like history. I also recommend Terrazza Bella as a place to stay.

Beautiful Historic Spoleto out your front door

I had the privilege of staying in Terrazza Bella for two months during February and March. The town is quiet this time of year yet there is plenty to do and see in Spoleto and nearby villages and towns. My hosts and owners of the property, Laurie and Norma offered the greatest hospitality from booking to pick upon my arrival until my departure. Laurie even stopped by a grocery store so I could pick up some things before he delivered me to the apartment. They also provided a nice welcome package of olive oil, pasta, wine, coffee, tea etc. During my stay he was a phone call away if needed. The apartment with two bedrooms was spacious, light, comfortable and had a fully equipped kitchen with everything necessary to prepare full meals. There is a lovely terrace off the main living area and a balcony overlooking the pedestrian street off the two bedrooms. The apartment is comfortable for up to 4 persons. There was plenty of room for family that came to stay. Laurie was more than helpful and gracious to pick up family members when they arrived. The train is only a 10 minute walk but with luggage this was a really appreciated service. The location of the apartment with it's close proximity to the train station makes it an ideal location for exploring other lovely Umbrian towns. Assisi was less than 45 minutes by train, It was a favorite destination. Orvieto, Perugia and other lovely towns and cities are easily accessible. Rome is only an hour and half by train. Norcia and Montefalco are great day trips by bus. Beautiful historic Spoleto is enough in itself. It is an extraordinary place and there is more than enough to see and do. There are Roman sites and beautiful churches. The walk up to the top of town, to the Rocca and Ponte delle Torri is worth every step. There is a mobile stairway to get you to the top without the strenuous climb, but if you are able, walking up the narrow streets and past the shops enjoying the sights along the way is worth the effort. The view from the top of the town is amazing and it is a great place to sit and soak in the beauty. Hiking the via Francesco up to Monteluco and visiting the little church of San Francesco was a highlight. I highly recommend a visit to Spoleto. The food is delicious the people are warm, friendly and welcoming. If you stay at Terrazza Bella or any one of Norma and Laurie's properties you will have a home away from home and enjoy every minute. I cannot wait to return.

Tolle Ferienwohnung mit italienischem Flair

Wir haben zu dritt in Bella Due gelebt - ausreichend Platz für alle. Zwei Schlafzimmer, ein Bad, ein Flur mit Küche, ein wirklich großes Wohnzimmer, zwei Balkone zum draußen sitzen - alles liebevoll und mit Geschmack eingerichtet. Wir haben kein Auto - Laurie hat uns mit dem ganzen Koffern vom Bahnhof abgeholt und wieder dort hingebracht (zu Fuß sind es ca. 10 Minuten - ohne Gepack). Die Wohnung ist ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für Erkundungen von Spoleto (wunderbare kleine Stadt, älter als Rom, wie in einem Film), für Wanderungen in den Bergen (zB auf den Monteluco, auf den Spuren von Franziskus), nach Assisi und Perugia, sogar nach Rom... Einfach wunderbar, eine dicke Empfehlung!

Bella! Bella! Bella!!!

Terrazza Bella was everything promised in the website and so much more. My 78 year old husband and I were here several days,then he left and my daughter joined me. We had a car and explored all the lovely and historical Umbrian hill towns with great ease. The apartment was spacious and well equipped. The terrace proved to be our favorite place for dining, emailing and sipping delicious Umbrian wine. I'm a gardener and was quite impressed with the huge, healthy flowers and herbs filling every corner of the terrace. Truly lovely, and this,in late October. We're grateful to the gracious owners for their great information about local sights, restaurants and shops. We are already planning our next trip, probably renting several of their properties in this same building. Grazie!

A perfect apartment in Umbria...

Thank you Norma and Laurie for your generous hospitality. The apartment in Spoleto was absolutely perfect for us. We loved the roof garden, the well-appointed kitchen and your "welcome pack". Having a parking bay, washing machine, internet access, the lift and being located right in the centre of your beautiful town was "icing on the cake" - and the restaurant and touring recommendations you gave us were "spot on". We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this very roomy, bright, comfortable, well-appointed and spotlessly clean apartment as an ideal location from which to explore Umbria.

Fabulous location in old town Spoletto.

Terrazza Bella is as advertised, a lovely apartment with a great outdoor space located right in the centre of old town Spoletto. There are multiple excellent restaurants and a great variety of shops nearby and Spoletto itself is easy to navigate. A car is absolutely not necessary but if like us you like to get out and about, we would recommend that you take the private parking space attached to the apartment as trying to park locally would be a nightmare. If you do have a car, Spoletto is an excellent base to explore Umbria with assissi, Perugia, Todi, Lake Trasimeno and Rome all within striking distance. However, we decided to take the train to Rome and it was easy to organise and hassle free. Laurie and Norma, the owners could not have been more helpful and we have no reservations in recommending this apartment.

Charm & tranquility in Umbria

My home base for the 2 weeks I spent in Umbria was beautiful Spoleto. It truly is a hidden gem & a perfect base for those without a car. I stayed in the beautiful Terrazza Bella and I cannot wait to get back. My easy train ride from Roma Termini station to Spoleto was capped off by a warm welcome by Laurie (one of the owners) who whisked me off to my apartment rental. Although the train station is only a 10 minute walk, it was lovely to picked up by car with my luggage. Norma & Laurie took great care of me & were quick to address any questions or requests I had. The apartment features a large kitchen & open living room. Both bedrooms are a nice size & the linens were clean & comfortable. The wifi was great for updating my blog about Umbria & I used the great washing machine a lot so that I could pack lighter. Norma & Laurie have supplied you with all of the comforts of home; including dishes, cookware etc... just pack your clothes & forget your troubles in Umbria. Terrazza Bella has the most incredible views from its patio & I spent numerous hours sipping wine & enjoying my patio. What I loved most about Terrazza Bella was its central location. It was a quick walk to espresso bars, restaurants & shops, not to mention the numerous historical & religious sites all throughout Spoleto. My favorite spot was looking out over the valley while sipping coffee near the Rocca Albornaz (fortress). A brisk uphill walk to the Rocca & you are rewarded with a breathtaking view, not to mention great exercise for justifying all those gelatos you will want. The people of Spoleto are so nice & welcoming, but you would do yourself well to learn at least a rudimentary amount of Italian. If not just out of respect for the Italian people, but also to help you feel more at ease. You will find that in most of the small hill towns not much English is spoken.Honestly though, after the culture shock of OVER touristy Rome....the beauty & simplicity of Umbria is so refreshing. The food of Umbria is incredible & beautifully simple. As a Chef I was overwhelmed by the freshness of produce, salamis & pastas. The wines of this region are incredible & inexpensive. As a solo female traveler I must say I felt perfectly safe in Spoleto. If you If you are a "Slow Traveler" & you like leisurely paced meals & environs, then Spoleto is perfect place to experience the beauty of Umbria. I'm already planning my trip back !

Ideal place to stay to enjoy Spoleto

We have stayed in three apartments in the same building with Umbria Holiday Rentals – I guess the best recommendation we can give as we kept returning. The apartments are supplied properly serviced with clean linen and a generous welcome pack - a blessing if you arrive late as we did. They also have good international SKY TV with loads of English speaking, movie, news and children’s channels. Best for us is the bonus of a free internet connection. Terraces are situated with open views to the hills and at the rear of the building which means you escape the buzz of the passeggiata but can join in easily (great fun!) if you wish. Furnishings are absolutely fine. I would describe as comfortable rather than luxurious. These apartments represent tremendous value for money – even if there are only two of you staying and are a perfect base for exploring not only Spoleto but southern Umbria too. We found the location to be ideal for the historical centre of Spoleto with all the attractions within an easy (albeit sometimes quite steep) walk. If you don’t fancy the walk then there are regular buses which run in circuits round the one way system and also to other nearby towns and villages. I believe that a new lift is to open soon connecting the lower part of the town to the central and upper areas. There are also several terrific restaurants in the town (details of which are left in the apartment) again all within strolling distance. PM me if you want my favourites. I haven’t been able to figure quite why Spoleto doesn’t figure more prominently on the Umbrian Tourist circuit – not that I’m complaining as it resultantly retains an admirable Italian quality. Best of all it is buzzing at night time in stark contrast to many of the more well trodden tourist towns which evacuate at night time. It has loads to offer – fabulous walks with lovely views, Roman history, opera, festivals, and wonderful food – can’t wait to get back!

Our Month in Spoleto

We have recently returned from our 29 day visit to Spoleto in our lovely apartment, La Terrazza Bella. Included for our daily pleasure and enjoyment were: · 2 spacious bedrooms · A large bath with shower (and always plenty of good hot water) · A large, well-equipped kitchen (with full sized refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher) overlooking a charming terrace · Excellent internet service. With 24/7 internet service and the use of email, we were completely satisfied. Kudos to our hosts for this outstanding amenity. · A reliable elevator in good working order just outside our front door · A late model washing machine in good working order · A rear balcony with a charming view · A private parking lot with our own reserved parking space · The use of a cell phone provided by our hosts · Regularly scheduled linen/towel replacement and apartment cleaning · A welcoming bottle of wine, cheese, and other assorted goodies for an enjoyable repast upon arrival And as if all of the above were not enough, we were the grateful recipients of our host's gracious willingness to meet us at the train station when we arrived in Spoleto, drive us to the car rental agency, and even take us to and from the train station on those occasions when we left the apartment for excursions to other parts of Italy. It is difficult to find adequate superlatives to describe the memorable times we had in Spoleto, largely due to the wonderful accommodations provided by our hostess and host, not to mention the warm, personal rapport we enjoyed with both of them. Add in the superb location of the apartment, surrounded by shops, coffee bars, restaurants, and marvelous medieval places of interest and you have an ideal, unforgettable travel experience.

Terrazza Bella

During July we spent two wonderful weeks in Spoleto at Terrazza Bella. The apartment was just what we had hoped for. There was private parking available, which was most convenient in a city which has little public parking and narrow medieval streets. The apartment itself was very well appointed, and had a delightful large patio which overlooked the city and out to the hills beyond. There were endless oportunities for excursions into the regions around Perugia and Urbino, and excellent eating places, especially at Pediluca on the lake. The weather was very warm, and not unlike our weather in Sydney. We look forward to renewing our friendship with our hosts,Norma and Laurrie, either in Australia or in Umbria at some future time. Their kind concern went a long way to making our holiday the great success that it was. Grazie molte amici! JohnEJ.

Terrazza Bella was all and more.

We were delighted to spend our holiday in Spoleto in this apartment. It was clean, homely and full of atmosphere, with everything you could possibly need. The owners have thought of everything and truly want you to enjoy yourselves. It was situated on one of the main streets and handy for everything. Spoleto had everything we wanted for a relaxing holiday without a car. Lots to see and great places to eat. No tourist prices here either. The people are friendly too. We will definately return.

Beyond expectations

This place was just as advertised and then some. We loved the open patio and spent many a days and nights sitting out back on the patio drinking the wines of Italy, eating the best meats and cheese to be found anywhere, and just relaxing before our walk for our nightly gelato. The property was well kept with the owners, Laurie and Norma, more than willing to answer questions and give directions. Laurie is the ever busy owner who for some unknown reason has a way of making you feel right at home. Norma is the hit of the town. She knows just about everyone and is quite the fashion diva. If want to shop for clothes - just ask Norma! We actually became quite fond of both and looked forward to meeting them during our many walks. If I had one reservation on this apartment it would be the disco located just below our apartment. I guess once we got use to the music and talking late on weekends we accepted this as the Italian way of life and to just enjoy. The noise wasn't that bad, but coming from a quiet deadend street in a small New Hampshire town it was probably not something I expected. However, I would still go back to this apartment in a heart-beat, noise or no noise! We spent one-month here (the last two weeks in Sept and the first two in Oct-08) and had a blast. You might want to skip the fish restatuant down in the square. The food was not upp to the Italian food you would expect. However, there was one place where we ate several times and got to know Sandra pretty well. She owns the restatuant and deli just across the street and she was the hit of the place. Oh, the name of the restatuant is "L'Antico Frantoio". We got to know the people at the local cafe down the corner, enjoyed the many walks, met some wonderful people from Ireland and the US and, you guessed it, really miss it. I have one bit of advise before I sign off - don't hesitate and book it now!
