The Hotel "Il Palazzo", in the heart of Assisi, is located halfway between the Basilica of Saint Francis and Piazza del Comune.
It occupies the left wing of Palazzo Bartocci Fontana, built in the 1500s following the design of Giulio Danti. The palace, still owned and run by the descendants, preserves at the first floor the central salon with "telari" (mythical scenes) of Antonio Nessi.
The ceiling, as well as the contiguous rooms, has been distempered in the 1700s. The building rises on the foundations of medieval shops, inns and "fondachi" (storage cellars).
The
hotel has 12 rooms with private bathroom, telephone and TV. Each room
differs from the others in shape and all are fitted out with simple
antique furniture.
- SECOND FLOOR ROOMS: Bright and wide rooms from which one enjoys the splendid view down the valley, surrounded by the green Umbrian hills.
- FIRST FLOOR ROOMS: Rooms at the first floor are characterized by original beams of oak and poplar which lend a warm atmosphere.
The vaulted ceiling decorated
with "grottesche" and the epochal furniture are the
ideal frame for a pleasant buffet-breakfast.
