House / Villa - SpelloHouse with garden

"GRAN PANORAMA" is a house with 70 m² of living space and a 2,500 m² garden on Monte Subasio (the sacred mountain of Saint Francis of Assisi). The house stands high above the enchanting Roman village of Spello, 5 km away, and the other splendid towns of the Valle Umbra which are rich in artistic and cultural heritage.From the large terrace there is an extraordinary view which takes in four regions of central Italy: Umbria, Marche, Lazio and Tuscany. The view extends for 142 km.Situated in the centre of Umbria, the house is an ideal base for exploring this beautiful region which is known as 'the green heart of Italy'. Within easy driving distance are many fascinating and people-friendly historic towns such as Assisi, Spoleto, Perugia, Todi, Orvieto, Gubbio, Montefalco, Trevi and Bevagna. It is also a suitable base for day trips to Rome, Siena and Florence.The house, which lies on the edge of the nature park of Monte Subasio, is an excellent starting point for nature walks on marked paths. Not to be missed is the trail along the old Roman aqueduct which joins Spello to the tiny walled village of Collepino: a walk which combines history, landscape and naturalistic interest.

Mountain Top Retreat with a Perfect Location in Umbria
Amazing... the physical structure is stunning... the view is even better! Our gracious hosts were so accommodating and very easy to communicate with... Stefano and his lovely wife actually "rescued" us when we got lost on the very first day of our arrival. Long story but with an amusing ending. Located near many touristy sites... Perugia... Assisi... Spoleto and of course the nearby village... Spello. We enjoyed the solitude and the panoramic view.. a perfect balance. Excellent value for the money... Thank you again Stefano.

We have been here before in 2017 and loved it. The views are spectacular the house is fully equipped and you can bbq as well. There is a lovely small village just 3-4km away that has a bar and restaurant in the evening which we highly recommend if you don’t want to cook in the evening. The plunge pool was perfect to go in to cool off then sit under the umbrella again.

The perfect Italian escape
The views at Gran Panaramo are simply beautiful and have to be seen to be believed. Stefano and Anna were the perfect hosts and the house had everything you could possibly need. The lovely town of Spello is right on your doorstep, with Assisi, Montefalco and Lake Trasimeno not too far away. I would happily recommend the house to anybody and look forward to coming back one day.

Beautiful Spot
We had an amazing time. The pictures don’t entirely do the view justice. It is a bit of a drive up the hill from Spello but the view is worth it and only 5 minutes from town. The house is well equipped and Stefano was incredibly helpful. The pool may be small but it was perfect for cooling off and relaxing in the sun with a cold drink. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Custom Villa in the Hills
The host was super friendly and literally went out of his way to make sure we had a great stay. We wanted to do the Aqueduct walk, which he helped to plan and implement, but we only wanted to do it one way. He met us in Stresa and drove us to Collepino so we could walk back to the car, playing tour guide along the way. He made a dinner reservation for us the first night at a great restaurant. The place itself is amazing, fully equipped with more things than you could need, an amazing view that never got tired and a modern rustic decor.

Midway Between Heaven and Earth
We stayed at GRAN PANORAMA from Sep 26 through to Nov 16. The views out over the valley are stunning, and ever changing with the light throughout the day. We have travelled extensively and can say we have never found a better patio to sip wine, read a book or just chill and enjoy the vistas. The drive up and down the mountain was a bit intimidating at first but soon became an enjoyable experience. The owners (Stefano and Anna) thought of everything to ensure the Villa was fully equipped, and checked in with us often to see if we needed anything. The property is ideally situated for “day tripping” to the hilltop towns in Umbria. The seven glorious weeks we spent at GRAN PANORAMA flew by and we are now planning our return for next year. Thank you Anna and Stefano for making our stay so memorable!

Beautiful property and home with gorgeous views. Stefan and Anna were very helpful with checking us in, welcome gift of local products, local insights on hikes and dining. We thoroughly enjoyed the Roman Aqueduct hike and a hike to waterfalls in nearby Pale. Homemade dinners enjoyed on the patio was a highlight for our family. Thank you Stefan and Anna!

The perfect mountain retreat in a beautiful small old world Umbrian town.
We stayed four weeks in this beautiful mountain retreat on Mount Subiaso. The two storey stone cottage was very clean with a well equipped kitchen, a plunge pool we used daily, air conditioning and lovely outdoor covered balcony to eat breakfast and admire the sweeping Umbria Valley. There is a 10 to 15 minute drive down the mountain to the old Spello town, but you must have a car, preferably small to negotiate the narrow roads and streets. Our host, Stefano was delightful, very responsive to our needs via WhatsApp and an expert at using Google translate. Spello has excellent restaurants, great mountain walks, an easily accessible supermarket and friendly locals. We will return. Ciao Stefano.

Once again an amazing stay!
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Casa Gran Panama. This is truly my happy place and feels like home. Stefano has put so much love into this home. Stefano and Anna are excellent hosts. The view from the patios are spectacular! Whether it be morning coffee, dinner in, or evening wine, the patio is the best place to be. The house has everything you could possibly want and more. The aqueduct trail is wonderful, especially followed by a dip in the pool after 😉. I am very sad each time we have had to leave as it is never enough time spent in beautiful Umbria and Casa Gran Panorama. Although we just left, I cannot wait to return. Would highly recommend Stefano & Anna's home. Thank you again for the wonderful hospitality.

Beautiful mountainside villa
We loved everything about the house. We woke up to views of Spello and neighboring towns from our balcony and patio. The house had every conceivable convenience. Well equipped kitchen with all necessary pots pans etc for meal preparation. Nice fireplace and outdoor fireplace for barbecue. Close proximity to numerous hilltop villages. Stefano was accessible whenever a need arose or we had a question. I would recommend 100% and would definitely return again.

The property is incredible with truly panoramic views from the terraces. The hosts have created a unique space with a efficiently designed and well equipped cottage and amazing outdoor spaces. The location above Spello on the side of Mt. Subasio is extraordinary. Proximity to other hill towns and cities of Umbria made day-tripping easy. We had a great time.

Although Spello is a two hour ride from Rome it is well worth it. The views from the villa were spectacular and the villa was very clean and totally furnished. The hosts Stefano and Anna were extremely helpful with everything we asked.They even assisted and plans out our train journeys from Spello which was very helpful. The town of Spello is very charming. You cannot go wrong with this rental.

Stunning Villa Gran Panorama
In all our experience of renting properties around the globe, we have never wanted to leave a property less than we did when the time came to (sadly) leave Villa Gran Panorama. This outstanding house is positioned beautifully on the hillside halfway up Monte Subasio above the town of Spello and with astonishing views down the Vale of Spoleto. The property is very tastefully decorated and is superbly well-equipped. The grounds and rock garden, over a number of levels, hold a spacious dining balcony, a fine plunge pool, and an outside shower, as well as comfortable outdoor furniture. An additional pleasure is the warm, engaging, and exceedingly generous owners, Stefano and Anna. The villa is perfectly positioned for visiting the Umbrian countryside and a number of the proximal attractive hill towns, such as Bevagna, Montefalco, Trevi, Spoleto, and Assisi, as well as Spello. It may be worth noting that the winding 5-6 km drive up to the villa is readily manageable. We already long to return.

A Magical Place
Our time at the villa was so special, and the house and it’s setting so beautiful and peaceful - I almost don’t want to write a review so I can keep it our little secret. The villa is spotless, nicely appointed and very well equipped. The outdoor space is fantastic, with views that go on forever. The hosts are exceptionally lovely people who really care about the place and their guests. It is located just outside Spello, high in the hills. We went on great scenic hikes - along the top of Mount Subasio (came across wild horses); and along the 5.5km aqueduct trail from Spello to Collepino where we stopped for lunch and then walked back. Cool fact- Stefano was the architect for the aqueduct trail. Truly a wonderful place! Thank you Anna and Stefano for sharing it with us.

Ahhhhh! Gran Panorama!!!
My wife and I spent the first 3 weeks of February at this amazing property. Stefano and Anna are lovely people and outstanding hosts. I can't say enough about how well this house just works! So well maintained, furnished, and designed. So comfortable and cozy with THE MOST SPECTACULAR VIEW one could imagine!! Although it was winter, we were able to have many mornings drinking our coffee out on the terrace in just shirt sleeves. This was our first trip to Umbria and we were blown away with all there was to do and see there. Stefano was so helpful with activity and restaurant suggestions. Spello is a beautiful Medieval walled village. There is an ancient Roman aquaduct which runs from just above Spello up to another small village of Collepino. It is a wonderful easy hike about 1 1/2 hrs each way. Stefano is the lead architect in the restoration of this fascinating structure. Thats another story in itself. Our three weeks went by so fast we were surprised it was over so quickly. Some towns and villages we visited were Trevi, Montefalco (some of the best red wine I have ever tased. Rosso and Sagrantino), Todi, Orvieto, Gubbio, Assisi, Bevagnia. All within a short 30-40 minute drive. We even did an overnight to Florence. As I mentioned earlier, this was our first time visiting Umbria and to our good fortune it turned out to be the perfect location to explore this beautiful part of Italy. This is truly a special property. We are already planning our return! TEN STARS!!!

Beautiful view of valley and short distance from Spello
We loved staying here. Stefano was a wonderful host. He left us some wonderful wine from Montefalco and local fruit to eat. He helped us get oriented and gave us suggestions of what to see and visit. The view from the deck was spectacular and we spent a lot of time on the deck each morning, eating breakfast and sipping coffee. At the end of the day, we would come home and again, sit on the deck with a glass of wine watching the rain, cloud movement and 3 rainbows. This is a great location from all the nearby towns. The drive to Assissi is about 30 minutes and to Montefalco about 25 minutes. These are both must see places to visit. We will come back to this wonderful place.

Perfection
We had a lovely week's stay at this amazing property. Every night the four of us would sit on the large pool patio with a glass or 2 of wine overlooking the valley below and watch the lights come on and the stars twinkle. This is a perfect place for 2 couples to visit all the medieval villages, good wineries and relax. It got rather chilly for a few nights and we started a fire in the beautiful fireplace and and that made it feel even more homey. I will have to admit that the drive up the hill and into the driveway was a bit disconcerting at first, but after a few times it became old hat....but it certainly not for the faint of heart. The home was stocked with all basics from tea and coffee to wine and fruit. Thank You Stefano!!💕💕
