Hotel
*This* is your 5 star hotel. It is the definition of la dolce vita. It was at one point, ranked the #1 hotel in Italy and #53 in the world. A 4 minute drive to the ceremony at Villa Balbianello and 6 minute drive to Podere Brughee. You will bottle the scent of roses when you walk in and any future lounging by the pool will be ruined beyond compare.
