Palazzo Seneca
About the hotel
"Set in a magnificent 16th-century Palace, Palazzo Seneca is a magical getaway with timeless guest rooms, Michelin-starred dining and a memorable spa."
The hotel has just 24 rooms, each laid out and furnished uniquely. Some – but not all – have private outdoor spaces, and each is lovingly decorated with a gorgeous mix of artisanal pieces and antiques, including the Umbrian-made Cardinal chairs which, the hotel proudly notes, are the same as the ones used in the Vatican. All rooms share an earthy, warm aesthetic that is infinitely inviting, and marble bathrooms are found in all.

All rooms share an earthy, warm aesthetic that is infinitely inviting, and marble bathrooms are found in all.
Vespasia, the hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant, is a tribute to the gastronomy of the region. Exquisitely detail-oriented dishes blend tradition with contemporary creativity, and the result is sheer excellence. Culinary delights include bavette with beetroot, and smoked herring and beer-marinated wild boar. Naturally, given the region, the wine here is excellent. Vespasia’s two dining spaces offer two very different moods; if the weather is nice, opt to dine al fresco by the breezy, fragrant herb garden. Venture inside and you'll find a stately dining room with regal high-backed leather armchairs, intimate lighting and elegant candles.
The hotel spa is located in the palace's basement which could be off-putting were it not for the magnificence of the space. Vaulted ceilings and centuries-old stone floors make the spot feel hushed and mysterious; you’ll feel inclined to whisper in the sacred-feeling space. There's also a stone hot tub, a sauna, a Turkish bath and a room devoted solely to couples treatments: candlelit and romantic, it makes for a memorable spot.
The rich history of the palace and the land surrounding it is well worth exploring, and the hotel offers a number of bespoke experiences for doing just that. Take a cooking class or learn how to make ricotta, or embark on a 2-day truffle hunting adventure in Monti Sibillini National Park in the hotel's “One Day Like a Real Norcino Man” experience. Further Adventures for the physically fit include rafting biking and hiking excursions; however you choose to spend your holiday, be sure to visit at least one winery before you leave.
