«Lo Spedalicchio» was meaning in the Middle Ages language small welcoming place.
It was at that time the “mastio” of a fortified defensive wall, wanted
by the city-State of the Municipality of Perugia at the borders of its
own territory in order to control the road leading to Assisi.
During
the XVIth century, with the lost of importance of the military
settlement, the city expands itself; around the antique tower dating
back to 1300, by raising the strong defensive walls, a noble residence
is built. Recently renovated, it is nowadays hosting the hotel with a
privagte parking and a garden surrounded by high cypress trees.
The hotel offers a convention room,
located apart and in a quiet place, where it is possible to organise
work meetings, training courses, meetings, exhibitions and, according
to the various modalities of organisation, this room can welcome up to
one hundred persons. On the walls of the room are hanging
the historic evidences which, starting in 1444, indicate the expences
carried out by the city of Perugia by the fortification of the site.
The hotel is welcoming its guests in 25 rooms, most of them located in
large spaces at the noble floor, with high vaulted ceilings, also with
mezzanine, and floors in brick; in the two lateral towers the roof is
sustained by wood reinforcements.
The rooms, divided between superior and standard,
are equipped with wooden furniture, according to the tradition of the
territory, typical fabrics of Umbria and ceramics of Deruta. They
have all the modern comforts with air conditioning in summer and
winter, bathroom with shower, telephone with satellite, Internet
connection on request upon booking.
Striclty linked to the reception of the hotel, we have an Holiday House
with three apartments, built during the renovation of the building
which was born with the raising of the old defensive walls. Each
apartment is equipped with all the comforts, with air conditioning in
summer and winter, bathroom with shower, telephone and TV with
satellite connection, private parking; inside you will find a cooking
corner, a living room and a large bedroom, which can eventually welcome
additional beds. The furniture, made of antique furniture and Umbrian fabrics, creates a
traditional atmosphere, welcoming and comfortable.
In a large vaulted room, where during the winter the fire is burning,
it is possible to taste the regional specialties and everything the
creativity of the chef can propose.
The recipes of the best
Umbrian gastronomic tradition tradition are alive in the pasta spread
out with patience, in the biscuits, in the salted tarts, in the
homemade marmelades, in the desserts and in the cakes.
The fresh products of the garden and of the wood, with what the
territory can offer of best quality along the seasons, allow us to
propose dishes dressed with the refined Umbrian oil, cobined with local
wines.
