Palazzo Seneca in Norcia

A dream of a Hotel! Knowing it was a Relais & Chateaux Hotel, we had very high expectations which were exceeded. Everything in the hotel was special, starting with the front desk, our beautiful room, fabulous breakfasts, and the entire staff. We had a unforgettable experience eating a many course dinner in the Hotel's Michelin restaurant. There is also a wonderful restaurant across the street run by the same man who runs the restaurant in the Hotel. We recommend adding this Hotel to your itinerary in Umbria. Make this dream of a hotel come true!

This was a great hotel with excellent service and an amazing restaurant in a good location in Norcia. We enjoyed our stay there and it was a central location for touring. Norcia is a beautiful town with great restaurants. It was worth the stay.

I have been traveling in Tuscany and Umbria for the last 2 weeks. Of all the places I went this hotel alone made a difference in my travel.
Wonderful owner, service staff and chef they are the EPITOME OF HOSPITALITY.
It made me realize the next time, I am planning an Italian vacation it will be in Umbria.
Once again, I want to thank Palazzo Seneca for making our vacation memorable.

We have stayed here before but this was the best stay yet. Our room , 107, was the same level of cost as previous stays but seemed particularly quiet. The ante-room where we kept our luggage had a door, so it is possible that having 2 doors made for the incredible quietude. As always, the attention by all staff was warm , welcoming and accomdating. At this time of year, it was a little cool to have breakfast outdoors, but the indoor breakfast area was pleasant and offered a delightful view of the Sibillini hills shrouded in mist. The big difference with this stay was that it was our first experience to have dinner at the hotel. The food was beautifully plated, inventive, and delicious. The hostes/server in the sweet dining area was amazing to watch. Multi-lingual and multi-tasking, she seated, served, welcomed, and conversed with the diners at the tables warmly in Italian , French, and English. Despite each table being served numerous small plates, she never missed a beat. We will be attending a wedding in nearby Fabriano in June and intend to make another stop in Norcia. There is no doubt we will stay at the Palazzo Seneca.

We arrived at our second home. Everyone was so so helpful in everything. The town is beautiful, the Michelin star restaurant was very good and generous in pampering and excellent service. Our room was a little small and the TV was in a different section from the bedroom, but This is an old house and I understand the constraints . Rooms and common areas were very clean. Above all I would like to stress again the wonderful service. Specifically Laura, Michaela, Martina and Sergei as well as the waiters at the Bianconi restaurant across the street.

Really love to stay here! Staff was super friendly, breakfast was great, beds are comfy, would highly recommend this place! Oh, and cycling around here was an absolute dream!

Nice historical palace located by the main square close to the Abbey. Our room had a great view on the valley, room layout and fornitures are in line with the historical building.
It's a great base to explore the sorrounding area.

They have 2 restarants, a michelin star and a traditional one across the street (Granaro). We had dinner at granaro an it was great.

The only remark is the service at breakfast, the small buffet is completed by a la carte menu, but nobody comes to pick your order either for coffee or food. Apart from that food quality is great and the view from the table compensate the lack of service.

Lovely hotel with an amazing restaurant. The town of Norica is still undergoing extensive restoration after the earthquake it experienced many years ago. It was nice to be able to support the town. The cathedral will hopefully be opened again in October.

Very delightful hotel with an outstanding breakfast. Turkish bath, steam and sauna. Easy access to Sibillini park.

Some places just feel better in real life and this is the case for Seneca.
The design and lounge rooms are beautiful.
The “secret”
Library is really surprising!
