Yes, the easiest access is directly from your car into the door at Viale Guglielmo Marconi 18, Panicale 06064. That way, there is direct access to the elevator and the reception level.

Since Panicale is a small, medieval town, traffic is not allowed within the historic walls. Therefore, it is easier if you unload your luggage at our Viale Guglielmo Marconi 18 entrance. You can leave your car parked in the marked loading space. After check-in, we will help you to look for the closest parking spot. If you prefer, you can also leave the car keys with our receptionist, who will be glad to park for you.

We have five parking spots reserved for hotel guests. If they are full, you can park along the outside wall of town in the designated white spaces along the town walls. These white parking spots are free. Other parking spaces that have restricted signs are for residents only and parking there will result in a fine.

Please make sure to advise us of your estimated check-in time. That way, we can receive you in the best way possible. If you have a problem and can only arrive after 11pm, please contact us via our Whatsapp Concierge Service at +39 353 4126302.
