THE TASTE OF A PLACE
Norcia is more than a destination. It is a flavour.
There are places where food is simply part of the journey.
And then there are places where food tells the story of the land.
Norcia belongs to the second kind.
Black truffle, cured meats, mountain cheeses, lentils, legumes, ancient grains and the products of the Apennines are deeply woven into the identity of this town.
Here, gastronomy is not a trend.
It is heritage.
Taste of Norcia was created to let you experience that heritage slowly, authentically and with all the time it deserves.
TWO NIGHTS. THREE EXPERIENCES.
Palazzo Seneca · Granaro del Monte · Wellness
Taste of Norcia brings together three essential elements of a stay in Norcia.
THE PALAZZO
Two nights at Palazzo Seneca, a 16th-century Relais & Châteaux in the heart of Norcia's historic centre.
A place where historic architecture, contemporary comfort and Umbrian craftsmanship come together.
THE TABLE
Dinner at Granaro del Monte 1850, the oldest restaurant in Umbria, located directly opposite Palazzo Seneca.
WELLNESS
Sauna, Turkish bath, whirlpool, relaxation area and herbal teas.
A quiet moment to slow down after a day of discovery.
FIRST, THE TABLE
Granaro del Monte 1850
Where the story of our family began.
Founded in 1850, Granaro del Monte is the oldest restaurant in Umbria.
It is also where the Bianconi family's story in hospitality and gastronomy began.
Here, the cuisine speaks the language of Norcia: tradition, authenticity, local ingredients and recipes shaped by generations.
The Taste of Norcia experience includes the Granaro Tasting Menu, a journey through the flavours of Norcia and Umbria.
Beverages are not included.

THE FLAVOURS OF NORCIA
A cuisine rooted in the land
Norcia's culinary identity is unmistakable.
The richness of its mountain landscape, the craftsmanship of its food producers and the traditions of its kitchens come together in a cuisine that is generous, deeply local and full of character.
And there is more than one way to discover it.
At Granaro del Monte, tradition and authenticity take centre stage.
At Vespasia, Palazzo Seneca's Michelin-starred and Green Star restaurant, the same territory is explored through contemporary cuisine, technique and a more refined interpretation of its ingredients.
Two different expressions of the same land.
THE VALUE OF TIME
There is no perfect itinerary.
You can spend the morning wandering through Norcia's historic centre.
Discover artisan shops.
Taste local specialities.
Stop for a coffee.
Or simply sit and watch the town go by.
For wine lovers, Montefalco is around 45 minutes away, in the heart of Sagrantino country.
For nature and spectacular landscapes, the Castelluccio Plateau is only around 25 minutes from Norcia, at approximately 1,500 metres above sea level.
Or perhaps you prefer to stay at the Palazzo.
A long breakfast.
Tea in the lounge.
A quiet moment in your room.
The wellness area.
No schedule.
No rush.
Luxury, here, is freedom.
THE TAVOLO DI CASA
A little taste of home.
From afternoon until evening, our Tavolo di Casa is prepared with care for our guests.
Tea and herbal infusions.
Dried fruit.
Biscuits.
Honey sweets from Il Massaro, our award-winning local beekeeper.
Small things, thoughtfully chosen.
A simple expression of our idea of hospitality:
making you feel at home.
A GIFT FROM OUR LAND
Tenuta Vallaccone
Taste of Norcia also includes a Food Gift from our Tenuta Vallaccone.
A small taste of Umbria to take home with you.
Because the memories of a journey should not end at check-out.
Sometimes, all it takes is a flavour to bring you back.
THEN, WELLNESS
End the day the right way.
After the table, wellness is the natural next step.
Leave the pace of the day behind and take some time for yourself.
Sauna
Turkish bath
Whirlpool
Relaxation area
Herbal teas
There is no need to do a lot.
Just do it well.
And in the evening, our turndown service prepares your room for the night, with the discreet attention to detail that defines the Palazzo Seneca experience.
