Palazzo Bocci is located in
the center of one of the loveliest little medieval villages in Italy. In
1992 The Palazzo Bocci was completely remodeled inside to accommodate
the hotel rooms, but the thick walls and salons with vaulted ceilings
with frescoes, were kept intact. In the Palazzo Bocci you find corridors
and steps everywhere, going either up or down; these are necessary due
to the characteristics of building. Even the outside terraces
communicate through stairways and passages...
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 Palazzo Bocci is owned by two cousins who are also the owners of an
all time famous restaurant in Spello which is right across the street
from the hotel, Il Molino. The owners of this restaurant decided to buy
and remodel this Palazzo to give Spello a hotel worthy of its
enchantment and they succeeded achieving it. The hotel is run by
Fabrizio and Franchesca, son of the younger owner and daughter of the
other. At the restaurant, the Filleto al Sagrantino is a must, never
tasted any meat so good!. |
