PALAZZO SENECA &
THE BIANCONI FAMILY

One of the off-the-beaten-path gems of our Waterstone collection and the true essence of Umbrian hospitality, Palazzo Seneca is a Relais & Châteaux property with just 24 rooms. Since 1850 this lovely Palazzo has been owned and managed by the Bianconi Family (pictured left), whose passion to welcome guests into their home is as palpable as the scent of Norcia’s world-famous truffles. The deep connection the Bianconi Family has to their land and to the traditions of their people is evident from the moment you walk through Palazzo Seneca’s doors and extends through their Michelin-starred Vespasia Restaurant and their varied local experience offerings.
