Wonderfully relaxing

Host went out of her way to ensure we could check in even though we arrived late. She responded quickly when we had a query. The property is really well equipped with pleasant furnishing. The courtyard and sun terrace were great to have available. House was cool in summer heat and courtyard shady. Location was quiet and peaceful. Spoleto is a lovely small town, not very busy with tourists, but interesting places to explore. Train line gives access to other towns including Assisi and Perugia. There are some great hillside walks among trees from Spoleto into the hills. Property location is just nearby a town square with shops where you can get supplies (including local cheeses, hams, salami, wine ...). In summary, we really enjoyed trying local food, exploring Spoleto and other towns via rail, a walk in the hill, relaxing and exploring Spoleto and resting in the peaceful property. We stayed for a week, but would have enjoyed staying longer!

Great base for walks around Spoleto

We used the Artist's Retreat as a base for doing some of the woodland walks around Spoleto. Despite unseasonably wet weather - or maybe even because of it - the charms of Spoleto felt unspoilt and ours to enjoy. The apartment itself is a tasteful mix of the old and the new. It also has a really well-equipped kitchen (love those sharp knives!). In fact, the quality and availability of the local produce and wine (for example, lovely fresh cima di rapa from the shop round the corner), and the attraction of the kitchen, meant we happily settled for home-cooking for three out of the four nights. The apartment itself is spacious and well maintained. It also has an efficient central heating system and hot water system - so it would presumably make a good choice all-year round. We also enjoyed the original artworks and ceramics in the apartment. It has a small terraced area outside with chairs - not that we got a chance to use it (instead, we made full use of the appartment's range of umbrellas). The owner Sophie is attentive but discreet. She obviously wanted to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay in Spoleto a rewarding one - starting with a nice bottle of local white wine. We have no hesitation in recommending the Artist's Retreat to fellow travellers. NB - The Ponte delle Torre viaduct is still under repair following the 2016 earthquake. Walks that rely on the viaduct for access currently require a short diversion.

Peace and comfort in the heart of the old town

A wonderful apartment, artfully decorated, bringing the splendid art history of the town into focus. The kitchen area is stunning - marble tops - a good oven and cooking equipment. Great osterias also close by - particularly recommend Osteria dell'Matto and Barcaccia, both a minute walk and just off the Piazza Mercato. The apartment is perfectly located, in the heart of the old town and yet a 3 minute walk from La Rocca from where you can walk across the aqueduct onto Monteluco for stunning scenery and wildlife. Free parking can be found by the IP petrol station at the bottom of the hill.

Stunning apartment and location!

This apartment is gorgeous! The rooms are stunning as they are charming and the open kitchen is a perfect room for relaxing in comfort. It is clean and quiet and provides everything you might need for your stay. There is a lovely, private courtyard which is perfect for reading or for enjoying a meal. Located in the heart of the old town, it is easy walking distance to the Piazza Mercato. Surrounded by medieval buildings, cobblestone streets and an ancient fountain you can find everything you might want from cafes, gelaterias and wonderful shops with wine, cheese and other local foods. It is easy walking distance to Spoleto’s amazing historic sites, theatrical and musical events and has a choice of many good restaurants. Beyond that, it is a good base for exploring Umbria with all of its fascinating history, charming towns, olive groves and vineyards. Sophie is warm, welcoming and incredibly helpful hostess. You will not want to leave!

About the host

Hosted by Sophie

We have owned the adjoining artist's studio since 1985 and have recently added this apartment to create an artist's residency program. The rest of the year the apartment is available for weekly rental to visitors who have come to appreciate the myriad offerings of art and culture in Spoleto and the surrounding area.

Why they chose this property

The working studio of a well-known international artist for decades and now dedicated to continuing that legacy through an international artist residency program, this unique building houses artists and art lovers who have created a singular creative environment from which to explore the town of Spoleto or to use as a base for the many nearby hilltowns of Umbria.
