Palazzo Seneca

In the heart of Norcia's historic centre, just 50 metres from Piazza San Benedetto and a stone's throw from Saint Benedict Square. The hotel borders the Sibillini Mountains National Park, ideal for short mountain escapes and local sightseeing.

Housed in a meticulously restored 16th‑century palace, this boutique Relais & Châteaux property blends design and Umbrian tradition. There are 24 air‑conditioned rooms and suites with minibars, LCD TVs, premium bedding and thoughtful bathroom comforts like bidets and rainfall showers. Expect a pared‑back luxury vibe, a rooftop terrace, garden and a quiet library for slow afternoons.

Wellness is a focus — an on‑site spa with massages, a sauna, steam room and a health club. Enjoy the rooftop terrace and garden views, concierge services and complimentary Wi‑Fi. Family‑friendly touches include babysitting/childcare (surcharge), and the hotel is pet‑friendly.

A business centre supports small meetings, with express check‑in/-out and limo/town‑car service available. Guests can arrange roundtrip airport shuttles and train‑station pickups (surcharge). Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected.

Home to Vespasia, a Michelin‑starred restaurant serving authentic Umbrian cuisine. A daily hot/cold buffet breakfast is offered (7:30–11:00), plus a bar/lounge and limited‑hours room service. The hotel also runs regional experiences such as cooking classes and truffle‑hunting for food lovers.
