Spello in Umbria, Italy
Italy is an amazing foodie place, but this town of Spello in Umbria, is also an sight to behold, as well as a fantastic place to hike or run! There is a hiking/running trail that runs right along the ancient Roman aqueduct from Spello all the way to the next village of Collepino, which is an uphill battle by the time you get within a half mile of the village. But, the views and vistas from the trail, not to mention the charismatic red Tuscan poppies adorning the hillside, are incredibly beautiful! The round trip is approximately 6 miles. http://www.brigolante.com/blog/2016/02/spello-collepino-hike-umbria/
The hillside village of Spello in Umbria, Italy, boasts amazing vistas and delightful local restaurants. The local Montefalco wine is easy drinking and delicious, no matter whether in carafe or bottle!
Tuscan poppies in full bloom are incredibly beautiful!

We stayed at a charming inn, La Bastiglia, in a room with a fireplace and a hot tub inside! The views from the windows and the patio were spectacular! The inn has a restaurant, which was good, but our favorite restaurant in the village was La Cantina di Spello.
La Cantina di Spello was our favorite restaurant. The owner greeted us at our table and explained the entire menu in English for us!
