Hotel Norcia, Umbria

Hotel Salicone, Norcia

This Norcia hotel is in a very central location, close to the town centre in the south east of Umbria, the beautiful 'green heart of Italy. The town is very popular as a base for hikers, hunters and climbers; they mingle with those visiting Norcia for its historical monuments and religious buildings. The centre is unusually flat for a town in Umbria, and the Sordo river flows close by, eventually flowing into the Nera. The town was the birthplace of Saint Benedict, and the basilica in the town centre is dedicated to the saint.

The three-star Hotel Salicone, Norcia is a Best Western hotel 300 metres from the town centre, in a modern building that sits just outside the city walls. The facilities are very good and include a children's playground, outdoor and indoor pools and a five-a-side football pitch as well as a full-size one. Tennis is also available, and there is a gym so you can maintain your exercise regime while on vacation. And when you've had enough exertion, there is a lounge, bar and restaurant where you can unwind. The hotel has elevator/lift access to every floor.

Each of the 71 rooms is soundproofed so that you can relax in peace and quiet, and the building is fully air conditioned for your comfort. Half of the rooms have balconies overlooking the valley, and all have en-suite bathroom facilities including shower, toilet, bidet and a jacuzzi-style bath. A desk is provided with a private telephone line, modem and Sky/cable television for you to catch up with world events. Your comfortable room also has a minibar.
