A cypress alley will lead you to 800 acres of majestic hill country in Dievole, a private Chianti Classico estate near Vagliagli, where you can enjoy Italian nature, art, fashion and La Dolce Vita. Siena is only eight miles south of Dievole and Firenze just forty miles north.

Panoramic views of Umbria: A former monastery

Accommodation: A former monastery
The expansive property with a medieval lookout tower is situated on a hill near Todi and offers splendid views of the hills and valleys of Umbria. The hallway near the entrance contains an ancient Roman well, and the original Roman foundations are visible along the bottom of the walls. Today the former monastery surrounded by olive trees seems more like a quiet family farm. Guests can relax in front of the fireplace in the living room or in the library. A swimming pool is available during the summer months. The 12 bedrooms are individually decorated with antique furniture and, like the rest of the property, represent a successful synthesis of modern comfort and historical ambiance.

Accommodation: A hotel in the heart of Old Rome
This centuries-old building is located in the city centre, between the Spanish steps and the Via Veneto. Marco and Guilia, the enterprising proprietors who have roots in the hotel business, have completely restored the property and now offer modern, comfortable accommodation in a historical building. Marco can suggest the best sites to see - he is an accredited Rome tour guide. The building offers many practical conveniences. An elevator takes guests to the air-conditioned rooms on the three upper stories. The upstairs suites have a view extending over the roofs of the old city to the dome of St Peters. You're guaranteed a good night's rest here (a valuable commodity in Rome), as the guesthouse is next door to a convent!
