Hotel San
Luca situated along the Via Interna delle Mura, in the medieval heart of
Spoleto, the Umbrian tradition of hospitality carries on inside this
nineteenth century complex.
Local craftsmen have painted its bright, airy interiors with the
traditional decorations seen in Spoleto's older houses. As you enter the
hotel, freshness and brightness will surround you: the natural light
filters through the arcade that opens into the central courtyard and
reflects on the room’s pastel walls. The hall is furnished with
comfortable peach armchairs arranged around an 18th century fireplace,
and with antique pieces that add to the warmth, making you feel right at
home. Two canaries occupy an antique birdcage, which blends nicely with
the background of pastel colours from the striking collection of 19th
century tureens on display.
The typical floral motifs are repeated in the most tastefully appointed,
soundproofed bedrooms. They are all spacious, colourful, soundproof, and
extremely clean, filled with amenities and featuring 2 meters-wide
double beds. The large bathrooms are faced with Carrara marble, some
offering whirlpool bathtubs and all including towel heater and
antifogging mirror. The hotel is air-conditioned and drapery- and carpet-free.
The exclusive public rooms with huge fireplaces are tastefully furnished
with period pieces, leather sofas and glass cases filled with original
collections. In the central courtyard, flower gardens set off a fountain
dating from 1198 said to yield healing waters claimed to have been drunk
by Pope Innocenzo III. |
