Description

The Villa and the land were property of the Monastery of Carmelite Sisters in Via Guacimanni in Ravenna. In 2000 Carmelite Sisters sold all to the current owner, Mr Ido Casalboni, that, through a significant historical restoration work has brought back to life an historic rural Villa , which dates back to the beginning of the last century. The Hotel radiates an elegant and refined ambience and the warmth of a mignificent building from time past, in which to enjoy a relaxing vacation immersed in the beautiful landscape of Romagna.

Exposed wooden beams, old stone arches, hand-crafted furniture, air conditioning, televisions, mini bars in bedrooms and suites features typical of Romagna's old country homes combine with hotel boutique amenities to provide both old world charm and modern day comfort.
