Italy is a country where every second building is an ancient palace or an ancient temple. It is not surprising that one wants to live here in some quite historical building. Please - after all, many Italian hotels were once noble residences with a history of many centuries. Like the hotel Alla Posta dei Donini

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. Here, everything is set up in a relaxed mood, I want to relax and at least not think about anything for a couple of days.

Probably, it is this - the atmosphere itself, the character of the region - prompted the owners of an old manor house of the XVII century to turn it into a place of rest, a small luxury-hotel. To begin with, two houses with beautiful names were combined - Italian female names - Villa Costanza and Villa Laura. Then they restored the frescoes of the masters of the Umbrian school, adorning the conference rooms and rooms (there are 48 of them) at the hotel, renovated the old ceiling beams and door ledges of the 17th century. Furnished interiors with brand furniture SAVIO FIRMINO. Accessories were chosen especially carefully, so as not to destroy the authentic atmosphere of the historic palazzo. Exactly what you need, found in SAVIO FIRMINOAfter all, the brand just specializes in classic furniture, created in accordance with all canons, based on old techniques kept by the factory.

Then they opened the Pantagruel restaurant, where they cook traditional Umbrian dishes, Bar dei Lecci with an excellent cocktail menu and Enoteca del 1579, located in an ancient cellar, with tables left over from the time of the palazzo, and with a rich wine list containing more than 500 items. . 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
