Location....
In what many of the up-market Spoletini regard as the posh end of Spoleto, Terrazza Duomo is just 2 minutes walk from Piazza Mercato and 5 minutes walk from Piazza Liberta. Here, there is the tourist office, opposite the ancient Roman Forum, where plays, theatre and dance are still performed. Nonetheless, the cages that once restrained the lions from devouring the Christians, until the audiences arrived, remain intact.
While Terrazza Duomo is not on the main drag and, consequently, not in the noisy hubbub of city life, it is within a few minutes radius, in any direction, of plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. The main "action" takes place in "down town" Spoleto, a 10 minutes, inspiringly beautiful, downhill stroll. Then, rather than walk back uphill, you can take the escalator, a 10 minutes pleasure ride that takes you upwards and above the roof-tops, on a covered but open moving staircase, which delivers you finally to just above Terrazza Duomo, at the entrance to the Rocca.
And, you are a mere 5 minutes walk from the very top of Spoleto, where, crossing Il Ponte, the splendid Roman aqueduct, you find yourself in the Sacred Mountains, where there are a myriad of marked paths, following in the footsteps of St Francis and his pilgrims.
If you do not have a car, or you do not wish to use your car all the time, then, you can hire our trusty cabbie, Carlo - write (or speak) in simple English for a quote. Details given on booking. Please note that until you are booked, Airbnb do not allow the exchange of personal information.
Or you can easily rely on public transport - bus or train - to take you anywhere in Italy.
