Quiet and elegant, this hotel is centrally located on Spello's main street. The original building dates to the 14th century, but extensive restorations in the 18th and 19th centuries added bucolic ceiling and wall frescoes. You could settle in for a week and take a cooking course, or have the staff book you bicycle or horseback excursions through the countryside. The hotel has lovely sitting areas, a reading room, and a garden terrace off the bar. Several rooms have valley views. Consider splurging on the suite with the fireplace or reserving the room with the small terrace. Pros: Central location, splendid views of the valley. Cons: Noisy in summer months, not all rooms have views.

We had a very comfortable stay at Palazzo Bocci, and would definitely return.
Our room was spacious, and included a foldout couch and a view over the valley. It was nice, but not luxurious.
The breakfast room was ok, but the outdoor terrace where you could have breakfast was charming and offered great views.
The front desk staff was helpful and made a restaurant reservation for us.
The location in the center of Spello was good, though be aware you have a steep drive up a narrow road to get there.
