Best Hotels near Ruins of the Basilica St. Benedict, Norcia

Loved this hotel for the view and cleanliness. Our room had a balcony with a view of the amazing mountains which makes waking up with sun an amazing experience even from your bed. No AC but staff is very understanding and they offer a fan that you won’t need after sunset because the temperature goes down and you won’t need it. Few meters from the cathedral and very close to other stores we just walked to most restaurants. Breakfast was a buffet like most Italian restaurants. They have a great shuttle service.

Hotel appena fuori dal centro di Cascia, si distingue per una architettura interna moderna ed essenziale, che colpisce. Già dalla hall si intuisce lo stile dell’hotel, che si ritrova confermato nel corridoio, nelle camere e nel salone ristorante. Camere super confortevoli, personale premuroso e gentile. Il ristorante poi è una sorpresa indimenticabile, genialità e gusto pervadono i piatti serviti da personale attento e veloce. Insomma un’esperienza positiva da tutti i punti di vista. Bravi!

Stayed 5 nights in a junior suite (Room 304) that faced the back gardens. My husband and I were in Rieti for work and our coworkers suggested this hotel. Finding the driveway the first time around took a couple attempts because it’s located a few feet from a busy intersection and can be a difficult turn depending on which direction you are coming from. The road up to the hotel is narrow, not well paved in certain parts and pretty steep. I’m glad I wasn’t in charge of driving because you have to squeeze by the other car when passing. Luckily we would only encounter 1 or 2 cars each time. I worked remotely from the hotel (strong wifi!) and walked to town a couple times. Walking down the hill isn’t bad, it took me about 16 minutes to get all the way down to the main street but walking up is rough and I don’t recommend unless you are in great shape. There aren’t any taxis in Rieti but you can ask the front desk for the number for a driver to arrange a ride to/from the hotel. The building is an old family villa turned into a hotel which adds to the charm. The hotel restaurant is generally only open for dinner and their food is very tasty - we ate there 3 times during our stay. Breakfast is pretty basic - pastries, cheese, cured meats, yogurt, bread, sweets and coffee/cappuccino. The hotel seemed only half or less full when we were there which meant we got great service from the front desk and restaurant staff. Our room was large with a double bed, a small desk with TV on top and a chair, a loveseat, dresser and closet with tiny mini fridge and safe. The bathroom was a decent size with a small shower but ample counter space. My only complaint about the room was that the pillows seemed old and very flat. Unfortunately during our stay the weather wasn’t great (it rained for a few hours almost every day) so the pool hadn’t opened up yet and there were a decent number of mosquitoes around (I got 4 bites and my husband got 1). Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay and felt well taken care of by the staff at the Villa Potenziani and would recommend this hotel.

A beautiful welcome in a structure that knowingly combines art and entrepreneurship. The Arca Street Art Hotel, which was born from the artistic restructuring of a Hotel Agip, is all painted and colored, both outside and inside. The festival of the two worlds, with the crew of artists and culture, and a strisser of the main art (citations of artists of various kinds). All studied in the minimum details, from tables, to bar structure, lamp, lift ... It is an art work that is round, being handled by the Director of the Palace of Colicola (Galleria d'Arte Moderna di Spoleto). The staff were very pleased to welcome us with courtesy and professionalism, and we were welcomed by the Director and the counsellor who gave us a beautiful painted room with a colourful view of the parking lot. The girls at the bar and the girls at the cleaning rooms are also nice and available. International breakfast suitable for the category. It is a beautiful experience. I advise you and I hope to come back soon!!!
