Not even remotely. However, we were sure that Spello, I Borghi più belli d'Italia, was the one. After visiting so many villages and hill towns around Umbria, Marche, and even a little over the line into (gasp) Tuscany, we knew the combination of Villa degli Olivi and the beautiful village of Spello felt right.

Infiorata - Spello's Claim to Fame
It was November, 2019. We signed the papers, asked for an extended closing time-frame (so that we could return for the closing), but who knew those 6 months would turn into a year and 6 months? Who could have imagined in November 2019 what would happen to the world in 2020? It was from a science fiction novel.

Olive Harvest!
Spello is located at the base of Monte Subasio a bald/flat topped mountain inhabited by hikers, bikers, paragliders, cows, horses and beautiful flowers in the spring! There are many trails up and down Subasio for mountain bikers and road biders alike. We are also located very close to the dedicated 40 kilometer bike trail that runs from Assisi to Spoleto with several wineries along the way!
