Spoleto: where we are

Spoletium is in Piazza XX Settembre, in the historical centre of Spoleto. Look at the map, we are very near to our town's best sites, shops and hotels.

Spoleto lies at the very heart of Italy. It enjoys such a strategic natural setting in the green of Umbria, and it is situated on the ancient and important Via Flaminia.

Today Spoleto is the ideal departing spot for round trips to Rome, Florence and most of the other major cities. Once based in Spoleto, it will take you just about one hour to go to Rome, either by train or by car. For example, you can go to Rome and Florence and come back Spoleto in a day. If you don't fancy trains or have a plain dislike for driving a car, you still have the opportunity to get a bus ride. Local buses are a smart and cheap way to explore unbeaten tracks in Central Italy: small towns like Norcia and Cascia and quiet villages in the Nerina Valley are all within an easy reach from Spoleto.
