We stayed 3 nights at the Hotel Palazzo Bocci and had a very pleasant and comfortable stay. The hotel is charming and the staff are wonderful, going out of their way to provide service. There was also free parking in the lot across the way from the hotel - what more do we need?
I booked a junior suite with a view to the hills at a very reasonable rate. Others have commented on the hotel as being “dated” and there is a bit of truth to this, but it’s also an old building and maintained well. I prefer to think of it as a faded but lovely antique, which has its own inherent charm. The room was a decent size for the 2 of us with a sitting room and 2 large cushioned chairs. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom, while slightly dated, worked well, and there were nice amenities provided.
The view, while pleasant, also overlooks the roads (a distance away), as the more majestic views are on the other side of the road.
The breakfast rooms are small, but there is a good buffet, providing both savory (cheeses, meats) and sweets (pastries, croissants, etc), and the breakfast staff will make coffee to order.
I loved the common spaces, including the large terrace area, with chairs and tables and a few lounge chairs.
I agree with others that the WiFi was inconsistent, though, and this would be valuable to improve. But we also found this problem throughout our 5-week trip in other locations throughout Italy.
Spello was very busy with tourists when we were there at the end of September, but we did find it easy to get away from the crowds. One of the days we were there we took a fabulous walk along the ancient aqueduct. This was one of our favorite activities of our trip!
We had a wonderful time visiting Spello and really enjoyed our stay at the Palazzo Bocci.
