Photos and Description of the Spoleto holiday house In Centre of 10C San Mamiliano, Oldest Inhabited Village in Umbria - Pedestrian

Years ago, the ancient walled village of San Mamiliano was a fortress and resting place for the Pope. Within its walls, Il Castello, a large. spacious house, has sensational views of mountains and valleys from a large terrace and all windows at the back; and, L’Arco has the same views from its windows - it also has a patio/garden. The views onto the street are equally mesmerising from both the house and the apartment. Il Castello is on the main street and occupies pride of place in the centre of the village. L'Arco is very romantically situated in a tiny vicola, through an arch-way, round the corner. Both the house and the apartment are very comfortably furnished, each with lots of space. Indeed, you could get lost in Il Castello, which makes it perfect for a larger group. On 4 levels, there are plenty of places where a person can be private. Yet, there are sufficient communal areas to all meet up in. And, the tiny village looks as if it has leapt from the pages of Nat Geog Mag.

Details for Il Castello 4 Bedrooms, Sleeps 8, 2 Bathrooms

Il Castello, a large, comfortable house with fantastic mountain views, is perfectly located if you wish to see the rest of Italy, it being located just left of the very centre of Italy, between Terni and Spoleto. It takes 20 minutes to drive to the nearest train station. San Mamiliano was a fortress/castle built by the Vatican in the 10C to protect its boundary with Perugia. In the middle ages, the Pope would stay in San Mamiliano on his way to Rome. As part of a restoration project, Il Castello has been luxuriously restructured to architectural standards. Unfortunately, these medieval buildings are too old to have retained all their original features internally. So, instead of having the inside cosmetically restored to look old, we opted for a light, airy and modern ambiance for both Il Castello + L'Arco. The exteriors, however, have been faithfully restored, alongside the other ancient dwellings in 10C San Mamiliano. Ask to see my website for further details + many other properties.

The few remaining San Mamilianese have retained their traditional way of life as land-owning farmers producing wine, olive-oil, tomatoes and various fruits for local shops and providing the local eateries with fresh truffles. The land around San Mamiliano is “wooded” much of the year and the huge logs are brought down the mountains by packs of mules and delivered to all the neighbouring villages. Olive-pressing and grape picking are also to be evidenced and, all these activities make for extremely picturesque viewing + tasting ! 2 miles above Ferentillo, famous for its rock-climbing and mummy museum, where there are shops, bars and restaurants, San Mamiliano is on a hill, equidistant from the Valnerina and the Flaminia, the 2 main roads on either side of the hill that run the length of Umbria. Therefore, you can easily reach Orvieto, Perugia, Trevi, Montefalco, the Gran Piano, Norcia, Spello, Gubbio……….. and Spoleto, which is just 20 minutes away. Rome is a mere hour away by train.

  • On the top floor there are 2 double bedrooms, each with a double bed, (1 has spectacular mountain views, the other has views overlooking the village and the hills beyond) and 1 bathroom (including bath, shower, loo and a washing machine). On the ground floor, there are 2 double bedrms and a 2nd washing machine. One of the double bedrms is very large with the original “arrow” windows and a very low arched entrance that harks back to the days when humans were much smaller. The 2nd room on this floor is smaller and contains 2 twin beds. The large bedrm is accessed via the smaller twin bedrm because the stairs are open-plan and wind down the side of the wall of the smaller twin room. That said, at the foot of the stairs, you turn left through the arched door-way into the large bedrm and, as you turn right, you are facing the smaller twin room. So, disturbance is minimal. There is room in either of the 2 large sitting rooms for single beds. The 2nd shower room/WC is on the middle floor.

A mobile phone is available on local rates for a refundable deposit of 100 euros. It operates on a card system that you buy for whatever value you want. It is the system we use and it is very cost-effective ! The kitchen is fully fitted with microwave, fridge-freezer, a separate fridge etc. There are 2 washing machines. The furnishings are elegant and comfortable. The SKY Satellite TV has many, many English speaking channels e.g. BBC, CNN, FOX and a whole host of documentary, sitcom, cartoon and pop music channels. The most beautiful communal pool is 5 mins down the hill by car in the little village of Ferentillo. It is superb - because it was built by the mayor, who lived next door, and didn't have a pool of his own ! Here, there are also tennis courts.

Review Submitted: April 8, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
We have stayed in IL Castello several times now, and keep coming back for its beauty, comfort and spaciousness. Basically, you're renting a huge house when you rent IL Castello, fully appointed with wonderful bedrooms, full kitchen, satellite TV etc. When we stayed there, internet access was not possible but that may have changed.

Very remote, your'e at the top of a winding road in the small town of San Mamiliano (spelling), a very small town with few year-round residents. As you walk the streets of the town, you feel like it's all yours.

If you like the hustle and bustle of the city, going out, etc, this is NOT the property for you. La Terraza in Spoleto might be better for you as it's actually in a bustling town. However, if you want to "get away from it all" with friends and family, cook in, enjoy views, hike mountain trails, play games, watch TV, read, and just enjoy the most wonderful scenery I've seen since the Swiss Alps, this is the right place for you!

I can recommend this property without hesitation. (PS, you MUST have a car if you're going to stay here)
Owner's Response: Where the reviewer refers to La Terrazza, he means, Terrazza Bella...... Equally, if you wish to be in the historic centre of Spoleto, within walking distance of the train station, with bars, restaurants and shops all around and in a pedestrian area, then, we have several other beautiful apartments for you to see - please see the link on this page to Owners Website or ask me for it. Ciao, ciao, Norma
