Best Hotels in Umbria: Modern to Traditional Charm

Umbria Stay:

Umbria's quietest hills and historic streets welcome exceptional retreats, woven into the region's culture, heritage and ancestry. From cobbled stone façades to frescoes, Umbria unravels its character amidst these four noble havens.

Vocabolo Moscatelli Boutique Hotel

A boutique hotel placed in a gentle valley, amidst a centuries-old forest, where italian history is woven into mid-twentieth style.

Cobbled stone buildings with archways, a fountain, white sunshades and green surroundings.

The rooms located in the 12th-century listed monastery are all very spacious, with all the amenities that you could look forward to for a comfortable and memorable stay, and views of the forest surrounding the property or the garden by the chapel. On an annex building behind the chapel, there are also additional rooms, which have their own private garden, with the Spa Suites offering a sauna and an outdoor Jacuzzi in your own private garden.

Reschio Hotel

A millennium-old castle and an ancient estate form the premise of what Reschio aims to protect and restore in unspoilt Umbria.

Cobbled stone houses on top of a hill, surrounded by mountains, trees, bushes and grass.

The 1,500-hectare, family-owned estate encompasses an ancient castle, villas, farmhouses, two restaurants, and 40 Spanish horses from the Bolza family. Inside the castle, rooms and suites overlook the garden courtyard or the rolling Reschio hills. The absolute peak, quite literally, at Reschio is its Tower Suite, a two-bedroom residence spreading over five floors, and it features a rooftop terrace with panoramic 360° views.

Traditional room, with wooden beam ceilings, red armchairs, gold antique paintings and a dossel white bed.

Palazzo Petrvs

Where modernity meets regal ancestry - a 16th-century palazzo echoing the grandeur of the Sistine Chapel’s frescoes.

Traditional fireplace, with dark contemporary sofa in front, two red leather armchairs, a green and red lamps on the lime wash old walls.

Recently fully renovated after falling into a ruinous state, Palazzo Petrvs houses only nine rooms and a private restaurant set within a beautifully restored former church. Each room is thoughtfully adapted to the pre-existing layout of the Palazzo, making the most of the ancient structure and the decorative elements, such as the wooden ceilings painted with elaborate frescoes, with views over the quiet courtyard or the charming Via del Duomo. The Penthouse Suite offers a private terrace, Jacuzzi pool, and views across the city’s rooftops all the way to the magnificent Duomo.

A five-hundred-hectare estate set in an enchanting naturalistic scenery between Umbria and Tuscany.

I Borghi dell’Eremo offers a refined collection of suites and apartments spread across distinct buildings.
