The property is artfully designed with a large comfortable bed in the main bedroom. The kitchen is fully equipped and is a great gathering place.

I went to Spoleto to work on a book and this apartment was ideal. Quiet but centrally located. Comfortable and spacious. The main room features a well-stocked kitchen and a long table that served as my work station and dining room. The bonus is the art on the walls, original drawings by the great minimalist, Sol LeWitt. My wife joined me after a week and was enchanted as well. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat! Highly recommended.

Sophie was very professional, helpful and responsive to work with. She sorted out the parking situation very well for us. We didn’t have the opportunity to use the outdoor spaces but in the warmer months they would be a big plus. I will be pleased to recommend the property to friends.

Excellent experience, all pleasant. A few hundred Euros for interventions on the floor, on the old dumpster and on the entrance door would make this house a charm.

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!

Just right for our family of 5 adults, the 2 ample rooms + kitchen and dining room in the larger room, + the central location, + the parking permit Sophie provided were perfect. Spoleto is a wonderful town to discover, with great hiking and streams and restaurants nearby

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.

Perfect location for a weeks stay. Private, quiet and clean.
