Hotel Palazzo Bocci is a four star
**** historical palace, situated in the centre of Spello,
in the Umbrian region at only 15-km distance from Assisi. Coming from the south, it is
only 2 hours drive from Rome while from the
North, it takes less than 2 hours from Florence.
With
this regard, the Hotel Palazzo Bocci is the ideal place to stay in Umbria; first of all
for its central location, close to the major points of cultural interest and for its warm,
cozy atmosphere emphasized in a historical context. Since other interesting towns in the
region are quite reachable, tours and excursions can be easily organized.
Hotel
Palazzo Bocci dates back to the 13th century
and was the residence of the homonymous family. The restorations carried out during the
XVIIIth and XIXth centuries enriched its actual aspect while the original paintings of the
local artist Benvenuto Crispoldi (1886-1923)
contributed to a nice finishing touch. Since
then, after years of renovation works, the Palace was opened as a luxury four star Hotel in September 1992.
The
Hotel dispose of a total of 23 rooms
including 2 suites of which one with fireplace and original frescoed ceiling, 4 junior
suites, 15 doubles and 2 singles with private facilities, shower or hydromassage, minibar,
colour TV with satellite reception, telephone with direct line, safedeposit box, air
condition, meeting rooms, lift, reading room with a nice fireplace; it offers soft
classical comfort that hides the modern technologies with intelligence, so as not to spoil
the atmosphere of other times.
Accommodations
include breakfast, served in the special sitting-rooms or during warm days in summer in
the garden, tax and service while meals can be savoured in the neighbour restaurant
Il Molino which we highly recommend for its typical local cuisine and a good
selection of wine. Package deals can be offered including a meal plan with this
Restaurant.
Since the Hotel is located in the Historical center, big buses do not have access in this area and therefore are not allowed to park inside of it. However, we are well organized for the check in of groups because the Hotels van can deliver the luggage while it is only a 3 minutes walk from outside the wall to reach the Palace. Of course, any guest with walking problems can ask the driver for a transfer.
For
individuals car there is a parking square in
front of the Hotel where you can park with a permission from the Hotel; in case of no
space there, youll park in other spots close to the Hotel where you need a payable
ticket except during night and holidays.
