Description

Set on the top floor of a consolidated sixteenth-century palazzo, this apartment opens onto one of the most characteristic squares of Spoleto’s historic centre — the kind of quiet stone piazza where the life of an Umbrian hill town still unfolds slowly, between morning bells and late afternoon light.

A balustraded landing greets you at the entrance and leads into a generous open-plan living area, bright and airy under original wooden ceilings of hand-cut beams and terracotta pianelle. From here, a wide door opens directly onto the private outdoor space that is perhaps the true heart of the home: a panoramic terrace looking out over the rooftops of Spoleto to the Umbrian hills beyond. It is heated for the shoulder seasons and can be glazed in as a veranda, so it becomes a room in its own right even on the coolest months of the year.
