This delightful 4 star hotel has just 23 individually appointed guest bedrooms and suites. All rooms are elegantly furnished and equipped with every modern comfort. Those looking for additional luxury, should try to book one of Palazzo Bocci's Junior Suites, all of which equipped with hydromassage bathtubs.
The cuisine served in Palazzo Bocci's "Il Molino" restaurant takes its inspiration from traditional Umbrian recipes and seasonal ingredients such as truffles from Norcia, wild mushrooms, pulses, game, wild asparagus and mountain herbs. The restaurant is located in a fascinating building dating back to the 14th century and originally used as an oil press. The dining room features a magnificent open fireplace and offers views of walls from the Roman period. Meals are served al fresco on the terrace, in the warm summer months.
The ideal choice for art lovers, Palazzo Bocci is situated in the vicinity of Spello's Church di Santa Maria Maggiore and the Baglioni Chapel, this latter home to a number of splendid frescoes by Pinturicchio. Other important Umbrian art cities, such as Assisi and Perugia, are no more than a 30 minutes drive away.
