having a car during our stay in spello gave us the opportunity to explore small towns (
tip: learn street signs- some of these small towns have tons of residential parking and not a lot of public and if you don't speak italian it gets challenging trying to figure it all out). one of my favorite day trips was to bevanga and montefalco. both of these towns were
unbelievable. we enjoyed a delicious lunch in bevanga at
La Bottega di Assu. This owner operated restaurant really makes you feel like you belong in the italian culture; i felt like we were lunching at her home, my meal was unreal and so was the wine. i ordered the truffle pasta: i've only had truffle oil in the states (come to find out that's not really a thing
*GASP!* it's just olive oil and well, chemicals. ew.) truffles taste like a crunchy, almost dirt like mushroom- that might sound weird but i really enjoyed it,
LOL. our lunch ran right into siesta hours- this town is known for their cashmere and we weren't able to even check it out. plan your day accordingly; we were bummed we didn't get to explore some of the local shops. we moved up the mountain to nearby montefalco- we became obsessed with their wine. mmmm...i wish i could get some to the states! the drive is gorgeous and the views were even better. We just drove around the square until we were ready for our own siesta. enjoy bevanga and montefalco.
