They say that in order to know the country, you need to go not to the capital and major cities, but to the province, to the hinterland. For example, in Italy, Rome, Milan, Florence, Venice, traditionally signified in the tourist route, are only a small part of the country's beauty and wealth. Of course, they are important and significant, and you should definitely see them. But, if you want something a little more unhurried and in something a bit more Italian, you need to choose "detour" routes. One of them is umbrian. Umbria is a region in the central part of Italy, mainly agricultural: picturesque vineyards and bright yellow "carpets" of sunflowers. Here everything is somehow very calm, and it is easy to imagine a picture of a classic hot afternoon in the manner of Italian landscape painting of the 19th century or our Sylvester Shchedrin. This view opens from the windows of the Hotel Alla Posta dei Donini.

The owners united two XVII century palazzo, standing next to them, restored and turned into public residences. Wonderful interior design. First, many not only architectural, but also picturesque elements survived from that of the original XVII century. For example, plot murals in the spirit of the Baroque tradition. The situation, of course, had to pick up a new one. To create an atmosphere of authentic antiquity, turned to the factory SELVAwhich is famous for the ability to work with the classics. Furniture SELVA - both direct replicas and interpretations of the classics - ideally fit into the interior of the 17th century. To the attention of the guests: the restaurant Pantagruel, named after the hero of the novel Rabelais, who loved to eat, fully justifies the literary associations: they cook hearty and varied Umbrian dishes here. In the vinotheque (located, by the way, in the "native" cellar of the 16th century, which is also reflected in the date appearing in the title: Enoteca del 1579), the sommelier will select fine local wines. In the SPA center aroma and color therapy.
