No, not really fantasy but I do think the medieval details and general plot would appeal to a fantasy reader. A good resource is The Key to the Name of the Rose, a translation of all the latin in the book with notes which puts in even more interesting context.
The other two Eco books have many more fantasy elements.
Eco doesn't make it easy, and there aren't footnotes or translations for, well, anything.

I found this book really helpful as a companion: The Key to the Name of the Rose.
