«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.
