I'm so happy to be returning to La Bastiglia with a group of friends, in sweet Spello for the 4th time! La Bastiglia is a fantastic boutique hotel perfectly situated on the top of the medieval hilltop town of Spello. The location offers glorious scenic views all around, it's just a few minutes walk down to the town's historic center, and behid you is endless, serene, green Umbrian hills and valleys. You can't miss the easy walking path along a Roman Acqueduct, through poppies and olive groves as far as you wish, or up to the next town Collepino! Then reward yourself with a dip in Bastiglia's pool. The lobby is everything a 17th century boutique hotel should be, filled with busts and antiques. The front desk staff, Manager Mattia and everyone else have always been so welcoming and kind, and the restaurant's impressive dishes have always been delicious. We have ALWAYS stayed at La Bastiglia and hope to continue each year - it's the perfect Umbrian stop - and not just for the Flower Festival!
