Overview
From its 16th-century stone façade, to its locally crafted leather and wood furnishings, Palazzo Seneca is a distinctively Umbrian affair, tricked out with a ravishing restaurant and spa. The understated masculine colour scheme is a sophisticated backdrop to the grand four-posters, antique armoires and the drawing room’s cavernous fireplace.
Highlights:
Norcia’s historic beauty
Vespasia is renowned for its culinary offerings
The hotel’s peaceful elegance and generous hosts

Smith extra
A bottle of wine and late check-out (if available); those staying three nights or more also get lunch at Granaro del Monte; those staying in the suite also get a free spa treatment
In the know
Also need to know:
Petite pets can come along too. The hotel can arrange cookery classes, wine tastings and horse riding nearby.
Packing tips:
Some cycling attire for discovering Norcia’s beauty by bike; understated Massimo Dutti threads so you can relax in style; glamorous swimwear for the spa.
Dress code:
Relaxed European finery: a silky shirt or clinging wrap dress. Spruce up more casual threads with a Hermès scarf, tied in an insouciant knot.

Dining information
Restaurant:
Green michelin-star awarded Vespasia is an elegant and airy crème-caramel complexioned space, with white-linen-dressed tables, white walls, leather armchairs (straight-backed for men, curvy for the ladies) and fresh, flavour-packed cuisine. Treats such as tagliolini with fresh black Norcian truffle, and split rib-eye with pecorino cheese and breaded seasonal vegetables showcase the lush local produce.
Top Table:
Sit by a window so you can admire the garden, or if the weather is clement, sit outside in the courtyard.
Last Orders:
Dinner is served between 7.30pm and 10.30pm, all week except Wednesday (reservations required).
Room Service:
The 24-hour room service includes drinks, snacks and light meals, and items from the restaurant menu.
Hotel Bar:
No bar as such, but guests can request drinks, and sup them in the library, or ensconced in one of the drawing room’s chocolate-brown armchairs, by the crackling fire.
