Luxury Hotel Suites in Italy in historic buildings
.
Giacomo
Brufani, originally from Assisi, came from a peasant family, but at
an early age he developed a pronounced aptitude for turism. In fact
he used to act as an "assistant" to tourists visiting Umbria by stage-coach.
He would tie the horses, see to animals' need and then take the people
on tours of the various towns. But Mr Brufani decided to offer more
qualified hospitality and in 1884 he built the Hotel which was to immortalize
his name. All the greatest names of high society and nobility of Europe
vied with each other for a room at this hotel, the latest in modernity
and luxury. Among the recent most important guests we recall Albert
of Monaco and the Queen Mother of England.
Palazzo
San'Angelo is a charming four-star Deluxe "boutique hotel" with few
rooms and suites in a noble palace that has been elegantly restored
and furnished in complete Venetian style. It is truly a rare jewel that
has its main entrance from dry land facing the Grand Canal- a rarity
in Venice- and naturally its own private pier. The warm and inviting
hall with a splendid original Palladian pavement is decorated with warm
colours on the walls and an old stone fireplace.
Situated
in an old renaissance palace, the hotel consists of 20 rooms and 20
junior-suites created on the upper floors; this brings the total number
of beds up to 80. The furniture, elegant and confortable, recalls the
refinement of a private apartment rather than that of a hotel room.
The three congress rooms on the ground floor can hold 100 guests and
the number is brought up to 250 in the summer when they include the
Reinassance courtyard connected to them.
