While staying in Spello, please make the short drive or walk the path along the ancient Roman Aqueduct to the charming village of Collepino. Every corner is a photo waiting to be taken. Collepino's location provides beautiful views of Spello and the valley below. Time your trip for a lunch or dinner stop at Taverna San Silvestro.

Located a bit further into the mountains around Spello is the picturesque village of Rasiglia. This tiny mountain village has had a lot of press lately and we understand why. Some people have called it the Venice of Umbria because of the crystal clear water running through canals and channels of this medieval mill town.

Il Mulino di Valentino is a favorite stop. This peaceful setting is home to a mid-1800's stone mill powered by water from Mount Subasio. The baked goods produced here are a treat.
