APTs RED, GREEN + BLUE are on the 2nd floor with no lift but very wide, shallow steps. So, the walk upstairs is NOT taxing ! It is a very easy incline since the hallways and the staircases are vast, a usual feature of these grand palaces.

BUT, NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES.... 

Palazzo Mastrolia houses the most important people in Spoleto, from the justice and medical professions! Once owned by the famous composer, Mahler, now this prestigious palazzo is the home to the most important members of the medical and law professions in Spoleto. 

The apartments are simply furnished and, while they each possess an old-fashioned elegance, especially given their setting, they would best be described as budget apartments.

There are small local shops in the vicinity of all our central Spoleto apartments, where you can buy cheeses, salami, truffles, olive oils, sausages, wine, bread, milk, sugar, fresh fruit and veg etc, and, from Palazzo Mastrolia, you are a stones throw from Piazza Mercato and Piazza Liberta, where the tourist office is.

RED, BLUE + GREEN are 15 minutes walk to the train station, although, if you don't wish to walk, there are local buses that stop nearby. So, you can easily reach Assisi, Perugia or Orvieto by car or train. And, Rome is a mere 1hr 20 mins by train. 

The rate includes a lift, free of charge, to and from the station (ie arrival and departure), if you are without a car. This offer is subject to Laurie, my husband being available and the car being OK. To date, we have always been able to provide this service !

Palazzo Mastrolia:APTs RED, BLUE + GREEN are on a private corridor, independent from the rest of the palazzo. There are 2 magnificent flights of steps, (60 steps in total), up to the entrance of the 3 apartments. The main entrance to the 3 apartments is through a lockable door. Then, there are 6 steps down to the 3 apartments. RED + BLUE are opposite each other and GREEN is at the end of the very short corridor. Each of the 3 apartments can be booked separately or in any combination. Clearly, the larger the party, the cheaper the rate per person.

RED has a washing machine but BLUE and GREEN do not.
The double bedroom in RED is ground floor and ensuite.
The 2 double bedrooms in GREEN are each on a mezzanine floor, each above the separate sitting rooms, access via narrow wooden spiral staircases.
The triple bedroom in BLUE is on a large mezzanine floor, above the very large L-shaped sitting/dining room, access via narrow wooden spiral staircases.

BLUE is extremely large and perfect for 1 couple :

It has 1 triple bedroom, with a large double bed and a single – well spaced from each other and, subsequently, quite private from each other, at the top of a spiral staircase. It has a very large L-shaped sitting/dining room with a fully equipped kitchenette.

2 large windows overlooking a mediaeval street.

This is an impressive looking apartment !

However, only RED has a washing machine and a balcony. So, we offer it with either GREEN OR BLUE are a hugely discounted rate !

Palazzo Mastrolia, in the centre of historic Spoleto, is just a few minutes walk from the tourist office, the Duomo, the flash tennis courts that permit day memberships, Piazza Liberta, Piazza Mercato and numerous other piazzas, haphazardly hooked together by arched and cobbled lanes, packed with shops, bars and restaurants. If you are a foody and like wine, Spoleto is paradise !!! If you like clothes, go no further ! If you like gelato, you are spoilt for choice. Spoleto offers the best pizza, the most mouth-watering truffles and the freshest pastas, all at great local rates because Spoleto is NOT a touristy place. 

You are a stones throw from Piazza Mercato and Piazza Liberta, where the tourist office and the Roman Forum is. The Roman Forum stages theatre productions but Christians are no longer fed to the lions. However, you can take a tour around the Forum and see for yourself where the lions were caged.

From Palazzo Mastrolia, it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the top of Spoleto, where you will find the famous Rocca and Il Ponte, where you can cross straight into the Sacred Mountains, a magic network of tiny twisted paths, leading up to Monteluco or round the Rocca, back to Piazza Garibaldi, at the bottom of town, where there is an escalator (or a bus) back up to the top. 

Or, from Palazzo Mastrolia, you can walk for 10 minutes downhill and hit the main pedestrian area of Spoleto, the buzziest part of town. 

Or, you can meander around the middle, in the more sedate area, immediate to the Palazzo Mastrolia, a magnificent palazzo, once owned by the famous composer, Mahler ! Here, there is also a large pedestrian area, with a diversity of shops, bars and restaurants. On every corner, there is a church or ancient monument. And, there are a myriad of art galleries and museums on your doorstep eg the famous Costume Museum, The Museum of Culture and the Archeological Museum are next door, in Palazzo Spada.

You can park nearby, free of charge, using a private parking permit, included in your rental rate.

If you intend being without a car, then, unless my husband or the car is incapacitated (both highly unlikely), then, you will be picked up from the station on your day of arrival and taken back on the day of your departure. 

Please note that there is no internet connection in the apartment. But, in the hotel lounge/bar, directly across the road, there is free Wifi and an Ipad for the use of our guests.

As our guests, you will also receive a 15% discount off all meals taken at this hotel.

The hotel restaurant plays host to all the show-biz personalities from stage, screen and radio, all over Italy, stop by here, when they are in town. It is a great place to go, if you wish to dress up. Equally, you can dress casually, if you wish. There is no dress code.

With a 15% discount, the prices become the same as all the other restaurants in Spoleto.

Our large private pool (120 sq mts) is available for your use at any time between May to Sept, free of charge, at our Villa Marianna.

Spoleto is akin to a giant, fairy-tale castle. Sprinkled with bars, restaurants and shops, peppered with piazzas, Spoleto sits magestically amidst a maze of tunnelled, cobbled lanes and alley-ways, all leading skywards to the famous Rocca, the aquaduct and, some of the best views in the world. A surreal setting, a stage-set in the making, fringed by mountains, olive groves, vineyards, mediaeval monasteries, towns, cities and tiny hill-top villages - all beckoning a visit, Spoleto is truly a temptress. Succumb to her beauty and you must use all your will-power to leave. Quite simply, Spoleto is the most captivating city in Italy, never mind Umbria, Venice and Florence, being on a par.

Venice has the water. Florence has the Uffici.  Spoleto has the mountains. All three have a history to be reckoned with. All three bedazzle us with their rich cultures, their European, aristocratic connections and their sheer beauty. But, Spoleto has the upper hand for the world traveller. It resists tourism with its associated inflated rates and tacky goods on sale ! You are invited to visit Spoleto, but, not as a tourist. You will be welcomed like a long lost member of the family ! Treated like a king. And, you will pay the same rates as all the locals, especially when you pay attention to all our recommended restaurants, bars and gelaterias.

Subsequently, Spoleto is in demand with those in search of "the authentic Italian" experience, love beauty and who wish to base themselves in the centre of Italy because, from Spoleto, you can get to practically anywhere else in Italy easily and cheaply within minutes to a few hours.

Until now, it had always been too expensive to stay in Spoleto. Holiday-makers were forced to stay outside of Spoleto and drive in. We have changed all that. We have "unlocked" Spoleto, with our range of centrally located apartments, at rates that are competitive with our "out of town" apartments, making Spoleto affordable for you, at last !
