Hotel San Luca - Spoleto, Italy     

My husband and I recently spent three nights at the Hotel San Luca and our stay was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Located within the Medieval walled city of Spoleto, Hotel San Luca is within walking distance of fabulous restaurants and extraordinary shops. Unfortunately upon our check-in we discovered a major problem with our rental car company. Although we had a confirmed car reservation in hand, the company had no knowledge of our reservation and no cars available for rent. Given the language challenge, it was difficult communicating with the car agency by phone. Frederica and her staff went above and beyond to help us resolve the situation which truly could have ruined our stay in Spoleto. Since we were to board a cruise ship later that week in Nice a car or other suitable transportation was a must. Frederica helped us navigate the Italian train schedule and overall provided support during a difficult time. Our room was beautifully but simply appointed in a very classic Italian decor. We overlooked a wonderful courtyard full of potted olive trees and vibrant colored flowers. Thankfully the hotel was quiet and possessed an air of civility not often found when traveling. The breakfast buffet offered every morning was more than substantial and the service absolutely impeccable. The staff was friendly and actually appeared to enjoy their jobs! Spoleto was the perfect Umbria destination but more than that, the Hotel San Luca was the perfect choice for a truly special holiday.

My husband and I spent three days in Spoleto where it rained throughout our stay. Nevertheless we have the most wonderful memories of Spoleto, largely due to our delightful stay at the Hotel San Luca. The staff at San Luca fully understand what good hospitality is: a warm welcome upon our arrival; helpful touristic information including train schedules to Perugia and Rome.; excellent restaurant suggestions (and bookings) for each of the three nights of our stay and a sumptuous spread of fresh juices and homemade baked goods for breakfast.. Our room was bright, clean and airy and the marble bathroom was luxurious. The public sitting areas are inviting and beautifully decorated. We were drawn to relax and spend time browsing the many magazines and journals and admiring the special collection of soup terrines that provide a homey atmosphere. Hotel San Luca is the ideal base for exploring Umbria. We feel lucky to have spent time there and would love to return.
