Whine & Hill B&B - Rooms and mini apartments for rent - holidays in Umbria

L'Umbria si trova nel centro Italia e confina con Marche, Toscana, Abruzzo e Lazio

Wine and Hill is a B&B holiday circuit, born by the idea of guesting people coming from every part of the world in two suggestive Umbrian localities, Spello and Montefalco, which are famous for their own natural and artistic beauties and for their enograstronomic culture. Wine and Hill proposes a formula which combines the traditional familiar hospitality to some professional free services able to drive tourists to know better and deeper places, people and what to do every time at the best economic conditions.

Any information and service can be supplied in English, French and Spanish.

Spello, rises between Assisi and Foligno, situated on a spur of the Subasio mountains, above a fertile and well-irrigated plain. The fascinating village is developed beside Assisi (7 kilometres), where the Subasio mountains begin to go up. Its Medieval buildings are made in pink stones by creating a suggestive atmosphere.. and around, where there are no constructions, romantic hills covered by olive plants reach Assisi. The particular location of Spello allows to quickly arrive to the famous town of San Francesco of Assisi.
Spello, “la splendidissima Colonia Julia”, is rich of monuments testifying to the Roman era; for example, the town walls, the ruins of the theatre and of the amphitheatre, the thermal baths and the splendid town portals ( Porta Consolare, Urbica and Porta Venere) dating back to the Augustean era. In ascent, you'll arrive at the church of St. Mary Maggiore built Between the 11th and 12th centuries, which, even if it can boast a beautiful facade riconstructed with antique materials in 1644 at the same time as other architectonic modificatione were undertaken, guards its most precious treausure inside. In fact, the marvellous Baglioni Chapel is to be found on the left-hand side of the nave. with its paintings by Pinturicchio showing the "Annunciation", the "Nativity" scene and the "Dispute at the Temple", among other frescoes by the same painter which are to be found the chapels under the cross vaults and paintings by Perugino on the pilasters of the entrance to the presbytery. Close by, it is possible to visit the church of St. Andrew (13th century), which contains the painting of the "Madonna and the Saints" by Pinturicchio.

The Wine and Hill structure located in Spello is a nice villa in the countryside at one kilometre from Spello downtown and as well as the exit of the main road (SS 75 BIS, Spello exit number 10).

Foto di Montefalco Montefalco is 473 m above sea level on the crest of the hill. Thanks to this beautiful position, which dominates the surrounding area (Perugia, Spoleto, Bevagna, Giano dell’Umbria) it has been called the balcony of Umbria, as all central Umbria can be viewed from its walls.
In the old town W&H suggests to see Town Square- the highest point, at the hearth of the medieval city-, the Church of San Francesco and Civic Museum- the early 14th century church was built by Francescan monks and had a central nave and side chapels. The bell tower has frescoes painted between 1450 and 1452 by the Florentine Benozzo Gozzoli. Montefalco is rich of other important churches from the artistic point of view ,such as Church of San Agostine, Santa Maria di Piazza, S. Lucia, Santa Maria Maddalena, Santa Chiara da Montefalco, Santa Illuminata and San Leonardo.

The Wine and Hill structure is located in Montefalco downtown, in an ancient large house of medieval origin.
