MIDDLE ITALY HISTORICAL MANSIONS
Castelletto
di Montebenichi (Arezzo)
 Castelletto
di Montebenichi is a four star hotel located in a small castle in the centre
of a medieval hamlet. Perched on top of a hill at 510 mt above sea level, at
the south-eastern border of the Chianti Classico area, the Castelletto is
halfway between Siena and Arezzo and only a short distance from many of
Tuscany's most famous cities of art.
The surrounding
countryside is of rare beauty, scattered with woods, vineyards, and olive
groves. Six double rooms and three suites, each furnished with all modern
comforts, welcome guests in an atmosphere which is both elegant and exclusive
without losing the warmth of a family home. Antique furniture, precious works
of art and historical artefacts are all part of the owners' private
collection which adds to the magical atmosphere of this unique place.
Hotel Posta (Reggio Emilia)
 Located in
the centre of the city, hotel Posta is a four star hotel where history, art
and modern comforts which offers a warm, old-times atmosphere.
The Palace
of the People's Captain is a medieval edifice having a tradition of hostelry
more than four centuries old. After having been the seat of the People's
Captain in the 13th century and the house of Sigismondo d'Este in the 15th,
it became an inn in the year 1515 under the quaint name of "Inn of the
Red Hood".
Today,
after the recent restoration, the old inn is an elegant, welcoming and
functional hotel, which has maintained intact the charm and flavour of the
past.
Locanda
dell'Amorosa (Siena)
 Once upon a time, in the XIVth century, there was a small village
called Amorosa. We have turned the ancient stables into a restaurant, filled
the old cellars with a careful selection of wines and placed guest rooms in
the manor. This is how the Locanda dell'Amorosa came into being: an oasis of
country peace among the rolling Siena hills that look down on the Chiana
Valley. The ideal location in the heart of one of the most fascinating areas
for art, culture and landscape. In the area around the Locanda dell'Amorosa
are Siena, Arezzo, Perugia, the Val d'Orcia with Pienza, Montepulciano and
Montalcino, the producers of the great Tuscan wines, superb extra virgin
olive oil; the fascinating "clay hills" of Siena with San Giovanni
d'Asso's precious white truffles.
Relais
''Alla Corte del Sole'' (Perugia)
 Located in
front of Cortona, near Lake Trasimeno and confining to the Siena area of
Montepulciano, the Relais ''Alla Corte del Sole'' - at the Sun's Court -
offers a wonderful panorama on one of the most suggestive Italian lakes with
a nature filled with the sense of a wholly Franciscan mysticism, together
with the most important artistic, monumental, landscaped expressions of the
Tuscan region.
The
original architectural structure of a small village has 17 rooms with 40 beds
combining the services of a real hotel while ensuring at the same time the
simplicity and freedom of an agritouristic complex. Every rooms is furnished
with period furniture and all comforts.
An historical
property dating back to XVIth century, characterized by silence and peace,
which is still today able to give to its guest a sense of well being.
