Palazzo Seneca
Norcia, Umbria, Italy · Virtuoso

Palazzo Seneca - At Home in an Umbrian Palace A house in an Umbrian palace: this is the atmosphere you live in in this charming residence of the sixteenth century, that re-opened its doors in Norcia, in the heart of Umbria, after a careful restoration. Fusion of design and tradition, simplicity and quality, this is the secret of this new elegant project promoted and realized by Vincenzo and Federico Bianconi, the latest generation of a family who have been offering Hospitality and Foodservice since 1850. The skilled restoration, the research of unique materials and objects, along with the work of the best Umbrian craftsmen, have made Palazzo Seneca a unique destination in its genre. Please…
Palazzo Seneca in Umbria is much more than a hotel stay. You’ll be pampered in a 16th-century palace that has been under the loving care of the Bianconi family since 1850. Restored by local artisans, this stately home welcomes you with 24 individually appointed rooms; farm-to-table cuisine utilizes fresh herbs from the garden and pecorino cheese aged in the cellar. Peruse ancient texts in the library or play tennis; with activities that include Umbrian cooking classes, visits to restaurant suppliers, horseback riding, rafting, and truffle hunting all year long, you’ll never lack things to do.
