A hotel in the quake-hit Umbrian
village of Norcia has been named hotel of the year by Virtuoso
Travel, the most important global luxury tourism network.
The owners of the Palazzo Seneca Hotel accepted the award in
Las Vegas last night.
"It's a prize that thrills us, makes us cry and gives us an
incredible charge," they told ANSA.
Norcia's Basilica of St Benedict was among the many buildings
destroyed by last year's quakes in central Italy.
The Palazzo Seneca was the first hotel to reopen after them.
