Palazzo Seneca is Andrew Harper's favorite discovery from his recent trip to Umbria.
"Charming, exceptionally well managed 24-room hotel within an exquisitely renovated 16th-century stone palace in the ancient hilltop town of Norcia. Inviting lounge with leather sofas and stone fireplace, a salon and a beautiful wood-paneled library. Basement wellness center includes Jacuzzi, sauna and steam; massages by appointment. Small but comfortable Junior Suite has four-poster beds, a coffered and beamed ceiling, oak parquet floors and lovely antiques. Travertine-face bath provides oversize shower with a built-in seat and two rainfall showerheads. Gourmet Vespasia serves updated versions of local classics; cooking lessons offered."
