Notes on accommodation
La Luna (the Moon room) is a large, bright and comfortable room with original wooden beamed ceiling; located on the ground floor it is 28.2 sq. meters (304 sq. feet) in total and our largest bedroom. La Luna has a king-size double bed but can also is arranged as a twin bed room if requested. As with all our rooms there is a digital satellite TV (with English, Italian, German, Spanish and French channels) and a DVD player. Le Stelle (the Stars room) is the smallest of our bedrooms but still larger than most 3 or 4 star hotel rooms. Le Stelle is located on the ground floor with original wooden beamed ceiling and its en suit bathroom has been built in the old tunnel that runs through Casa Lillį. If the stories are true this tunnel was originally part of an escape tunnel from the Palazzo Federico Cesi which is situated a few hundred meters away from Casa Lillį ! Le Stelle is 20.3 sq. meters (219 sq. feet) in total.
Outside
Together with the apartment you have the use of the garden and patio located just off the dining room. There is a table and chairs and we can supply a BBQ. Casa Lillį bed and breakfast is in the town of Acquasparta and it is only a few minutes walk to shops, restaurants, bars and cafes, the pub is only a few minutes walk away too. There is parking outside on the road and it is very safe. The comunal pool complex is 15 mins walk or 5 mins drive from Casa Lillį and is open from June to end of August and there is a charge for entry.
Coast/Beach
Being in the center of Italy it is about the same distance to either side and the coast, about 1 and half to 2 hours drive.
Travel
Casa Lillį is very easy to get to. From either of Rome's two airports Fumicino (Leonardo DaVinci Int.) or Ciampino, Casa Lillį is just over an hours drive (100km) or 50 mins by train to Terni. Ciampino is served by the low cost carriers such as easyjet and ryanair. Ryanair have direct flights from Stansted airport in England to Perugia in Umbria, which is only 35 mins away by car. It is not necessary to hire a car for your visit as Acquasparta has a local train station.
Distances
Acquasparta, a small town of population approx. 5000 is situated very close to the better known towns of Todi, Spoleto, Orvieto and Terni, to name but a few. It is a vibrant, alive town with a good range of restaurants, bars, cafes, shops and even a pub, it also a good mix of age groups and families. Todi, Spoleto & Terni are all 20km (15/20min drive) Perugia is 40km (30 min drive) Assisi is 60km, Orvieto is 50km, Rome is 100km (1 hour by train and easy to do as a day trip) Trevi is 30km.
Further details
Casa Lillį is built onto the old town walls of Acquasparta and it is only a few minutes walk up through the old town alleys into the 'centro storica' the historic center of Acquasparta. There you will find lots of shops, cafes, bars, restaurants and there is even a pub which is unusual for small Italian towns, one of the owners is a fantastic cook and he does a fish menu on Thursdays, which you have to book for and is a treat. Casa Lillį is a perfect base for exploring this wonderful region of Italy and all the wonderful cities, towns and villages of Umbria can be easily reached for day trips. It is also very easy to take the train to Rome for a day trip, it is only 50mins on the Eurostar and is very cheap, a great way to see the sights of Rome without the hassle of having to stay there.
Guest comments
Dear Conor & Siobhan Thank you so much for your hospitality last week especially for taking us to enjoy an evening with the locals - a great experience even if the food was not as good as I am sure you could cook Conor ! We will certainly be telling everyone we can about your lovely home . Enjoy your lives, you deserve to succeed. Until we meet again, Ciao from 2 happy travelers, Cathy & Mike White, New Zealand.
Hi Conor & Siobhan We loved our stay with you and particularly enjoyed the fact that Acquasparta remains relatively untouched by tourism. It was such a relaxing place to spend time watching a real slice of Italian life. You have done a great job renovating Casa Lilla. The apartment is incredibly spacious, bedrooms and bathrooms very tastefully decorated and the communal area light and airy. Many thanks for the welcome pack on arrival and the cleaning supplies which made settling in so much easier. Good luck in your venture and many thanks. Judy and Steve Poulter, UK.
