La Bastiglia

I'm so happy to be returning to La Bastiglia with a group of friends, in sweet Spello for the 4th time! La Bastiglia is a fantastic boutique hotel perfectly situated on the top of the medieval hilltop town of Spello. The location offers glorious scenic views all around, it's just a few minutes walk down to the town's historic center, and behid you is endless, serene, green Umbrian hills and valleys. You can't miss the easy walking path along a Roman Acqueduct, through poppies and olive groves as far as you wish, or up to the next town Collepino! Then reward yourself with a dip in Bastiglia's pool. The lobby is everything a 17th century boutique hotel should be, filled with busts and antiques. The front desk staff, Manager Mattia and everyone else have always been so welcoming and kind, and the restaurant's impressive dishes have always been delicious. We have ALWAYS stayed at La Bastiglia and hope to continue each year - it's the perfect Umbrian stop - and not just for the Flower Festival!

Great hotel, the staff is very helpful. Fantastic view. Arianna at the front desk is the best. She is always in a good mood and very helpful. If you want to experience the "Real" Italy stay here. The restaurant is top notch. Overall they really take care of our groups. We stay here often and never have had a problem. David & Debra, USA

Well, the view from terrace is great. And that is all. It is not more than a 2 star hotel...... The hotel is not a new one. You have to walk 13 steps to get to the lobby from the street and carry your luggage. The staff at the reception hardly speaks any English. Aquistic isolation does not exist - you can hear everything what happens in the bathroom in the next room. The faucet of the washing basin in our bathroom was incredible noisy.The warm food at breakfast was served slowly and not in enough quantities (especially when the large groups stayed in the hotel). No private parking - as informed on the website. Either paid garage of public parking for fee. Definately not worth the money you have to pay. The only person who was smiling and working properly and trying to make our stay really nice was Negi, the waitress in the breakfast room.........

Great location and people The location is excellent and the staff wonderful. The breakfast is good. Parking is complex.

The views from this hotel are amazing but everything else was a disappointment. We had upgraded to a deluxe room which was actually very basic. A bare room without bedside lamps or even a bedside table. It smelt very strongly of bleach - fortunately we were able to open the door to the terrace to air the room. The bathroom was in need of attention. Toilet flush about to drop off the wall, washbasin wouldn’t drain and excess wiring left in the light fittings. In our opinion this is not a 4 star hotel.

Reported room darkening shades wouldn’t close & toilet running. Wasn’t repaired. Dinner soup was only warm, small portions for costs. Eggs cold every day at breakfast & they aren’t good at replenishing at 9 even tho more guests arriving. On checking out waited 10 min while reception on phone. Finally got off & paid bill. Didn’t have change wanted me to forget the difference. It’s a cute hotel & nice location. They need to fix things.
