Umbria, one of the most beautiful areas of Italy, is located in the heart of the country, right in the middle of the Italian boot. Around mostly mountains, far from the sea, the main wealth of the region - grapes, sunflowers and tobacco. People come here for natural sights (for example, to admire the romantic landscapes around Lake Trasimeno, one of the largest in Italy), or to visit medieval monasteries and Renaissance palaces in Perugia, Assisi and Todi, in the summer - to the jazz festival, in the autumn - to knightly fights and crossbow shooting competitions.

Finally, quite recently, in the spring of this year, a SPA center was opened, where various types of massage, rejuvenating and revitalizing treatments are offered, and aromatherapy and color therapy are practiced. Already the hotel is ready and accepts guests, and, perhaps, we can say that to the traditional set of Umbrian sights, mandatory for visiting, one more was added
