Fabrizio was the most remarkable host. This is his home, a beautiful historic house in large peaceful gardens within easy short walking distance of the town's walls. He was welcoming, informative and generous - the kind of person anyone would be fortunate to have as a friend.

There was nothing to dislike.

Villa Pandolfi Elmi was an absolute dream. If you’re looking for an authentic Spello experience with true Italian hospitality then this is the place. Fabrizio was a wonderful host who was always on hand to help and gave incredible recommendations for food and activities. You truly feel you’re in a home rather than a hotel, and the stroll into and out of Spello looking up at the village walls, or navigating the leafy country lanes, is a constant reminder of where you are.

Historic, charming, comfortable

It is both an Italian 18th century palazzo, (beautifully decorated and furnished) and at the same time a much cherished family home, situated on a country lane but still within easy walking distance of the old walled part of Spello and of the rail station.

We could just spend a couple of days at the Villa Pandolfi which is situated at the entrance to one of Umbria’s most spectacular towns: Spello! Anyway, we immensely enjoyed the privilege to be guests in a stunning historic country house which has preserved the atmosphere of bygone centuries beautifully and still offers all amenities one can reasonably expect from a B&B. Note that this is not an anonymous hotel but a family home that oozes tradition and style. The host is a true Italian gentleman who will provide you with all the information on the area you need and who is happy to engage in a chat on the beautiful things in life: classical art, natural treasures and good food – all of which can be found abundantly nearby. If you always wanted to know how living in a stately home in Umbria feels like, this is as close as you can get. Past and present chime in beautifully in this peaceful place and you will almost certainly feel a bit sad when you have to leave – unless you’ve already pledged yourself to return one day.

Fabritzio the owner is kindhearted . Its obvious that its important for him that his guests absorb the atmosphere and history of the place. He is always willing to help and give you information. The facility itself is an historic monument of an italian family which is by itself an interesting experience

Breakfast is prepackaged

Excellent charming host who was very attentive to all our needs. Beautiful old villa with garden, close to old walls of Spello. Spello was a particularly sweet small hilltop town.

Breakfast was self serve with prepackaged wrapped food and no fruit but did include fresh muffins one day.

Lovely old villa with many original features all complimented by a delightful host. Close to Spello and a nice walk into Town from the villa - about 15 minutes.

Nothing really. Getting to the bathroom was a little out of the ordinary. For those with mobility difficulties be warned there are a number of stairs.
