Palazzo Seneca was built in the 16th century and it was the first hotel in Norcia and among the first in Umbria as it opened in the early 1900s. The residence has undergone several changes over time but it still maintains intact, on the ground floor, the features of the vaulted rooms typical of the 16th century.
Palazzo Seneca is a responsible and successful hotel project for safeguarding the environment, making guests’ stay eco-sustainable without sacrificing comfort, luxury and exclusivity. From sustainable electric autonomy to the choice of eliminating the use of plastic for staff and guests. From the use of seasonal ingredients for the kitchen to the close collaboration with suppliers participating in eco- certification programs. Action towards the local community is also a key aspect for the property and guests are encouraged to know and purchase local products. Internally, local voluntary actions are suggested and the use of sustainable practices in the daily life are proposed to each employee. With this vision, Palazzo Seneca promotes the culture of organic food and the territorial approach by orienting development towards the conservation of resources, environmental sustainability, the enhancement of local differences and, therefore, the quality of life.
Palazzo Seneca tells about 170 years of history. The uniqueness lies in close connection with the territory and the community that give value to the structure together with guests experiences. The hotel as been awarded “Hotel of the year 2017” by Virtuoso, the World leader luxury tourism network.
