"The mountain town of Norcia is one of Umbria’s cultural treasures; the birthplace of St. Benedict, it’s a beautifully preserved relic, with Roman vestiges alongside Gothic and Renaissance elements. Palazzo Seneca dates back to the 16th century, and it’s been a hotel for over a century now. It might have been able to get by on sheer history alone, but the latest generation of its owning family have improved it to a level that’s commensurate with high-end luxury hotels in much larger cities — all without sacrificing any of its deeply historical character." - Tablet Hotels
