Michael, United States of America

Amazing hotel with the most helpful staff. They took care of everything. Breakfast is delicious.

The hotel is in a beautiful area with commanding views across the valley. As soon as we arrived, Michaela was terrific. She had lots of information about the area and took the time to show us around the hotel and offer ideas for restaurants. In the end we chose to eat at the Hotel’s restaurant - Vespacia - and it was terrific. My husband and I usually hate fussy food with foam and we were pleasantly surprised. The pigeon with beetroot was amazing, and the complimentary starter of spaghetti was the best I’ve ever had. In addition - Michaela had a bottle of Prosecco chilled and waiting for us as it was our anniversary. They also had upgraded our room and gave us a complimentary dessert for dinner. Can’t say enough good things about this place. The jacuzzi and steam room were also terrific as was the terrace for sunset.

It is a lost gem in the middle of Italy. We liked everything despite its remote location. It is a lovely place to stay away from urban life and enjoy nature and the peaceful setup of a small town in the countryside.

Tarek, United Arab Emirates

This is a beautiful property, with friendly staff. The rooms were well appointed and comfortable. There are ample public spaces, indoors and outdoors, to relax if you want to. Norcia is a lovely village with good local bars and restaurants. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Wendy, Australia

The room was excellent. The details in the finishing, the small balcony, the amount of power outlets, the shower, the tv, the bed... they were all 10/10

Dustin, Canada

Almost everything, but specially the staff and the fantastic breakfast with excellent personal service and recognition. And of course the chance of eating great gourmet food at the hotels restaurant.

Michael, Denmark

Everything ,the room was large ,sparkling clean ,with a nice view . The staff were friendly & courteous free parking was available outside the hotel. The breakfast was divine , the best we’ve found anywhere , it left us wishing we had dined in the hotel restaurant .! The other facilities ,such as the lounge areas ,library ,& conference room were excellent .

David, Australia

This hotel is an oasis in Umbria. The breakfast was fantastic. The staff was so friendly. This was our favorite room on the trip so far. The shower omg. Please know that Norcia has been devastated from a massive earthquake. But don’t let this stop you. The town people were wonderful. The flowers were blooming in nearby Castelluccio. (Which is completely destroyed ).

One of our top picks in Norcia – and a guest favorite.
Palazzo Seneca offers free WiFi and modern, elegant accommodations in an antique palace located 150 feet from the main square in Norcia’s historic center, right by the enchanting National Park of Monti Sibillini. There is a small free spa, which includes a hot tub, Turkish bath and sauna.

The palace that houses Palazzo Seneca was originally built in the 16th century. Along with all modern comforts and a contemporary sense of style and design, the hotel features a timeless atmosphere. Highlights are a private garden, a lounge with live jazz music played often and a charming library with authentic rare books.

Each guest room has its own décor and personality. They feature romantic wrought iron poster beds, designer bathrooms and luxurious fittings.

The Vespasia gourmet restaurant features famous local products, including Norcia sausages, black truffle and lentils of Castelluccio. A sweet and savory buffet breakfast is served daily. Water, tea and homemade cakes are available in one of the communal areas.

Guests can enjoy free access to the Centro Sportivo Bianconi sport center located 1,150 feet away. The National Park of Monti Sibillini can be explored in hiking, trekking and mountain biking outings as well as in guided tours. Some of the highest peaks of the Apennines can be found in the area.

I’d recommend making the food menu a little clearer. We had a big lunch so weren’t overly hungry. If we would have known there would be 4 complimentary starters we probably wouldn’t have ordered a starter and a main as we left feeling really stuffed. I’d also probably make the dining room a bit ‘warmer’ and lose the arm chairs as it makes it difficult to eat - especially at round tables and for short people like myself.

Overall rated exceptional but it is sad that the quality of breakfast provided was disappointing. We had over the month had experience of breakfasts provided by several hotels of lesser ratings and by B&Bs, and that of Palazzo Seneca rated lower than all of them. In particular the eggs, bacon and sausage were cold on each of three mornings as were the plates. Quantities prepared were small. It would be sensible to cook these to order rather than have them get cold in an ineffectual heater. On another subject, and not as a criticism, it would have been of great help to those such as ourselves who were driving round the region to have been provided with a brief note telling us which roads in the province were still closed for earthquake repairs or which were only open for traffic at certain times of day. On one occasion we had to detour over eighty miles as a road tunnel was closed.
A very comfortable and pleasant hotel with plenty of character.
