Sleeping in history... who has never dreamed of being able to spend a pleasant stay in a castle, of a historic residence, of a noble palace ?! In recent years, the tendency to recover these ancient buildings to use them as accommodation facilities has become increasingly strong, and we know that in Italy there is only the embarrassment of choice. Even better, some of these period residences, being developed horizontally rather than vertically, they have been defined as "widespread hospitality", that is, located within ancient villages. The phenomenon of Diffused Hotels it is typically Italian and aims precisely to recover several buildings scattered within villages, to renovate them and use them as tourist hospitality, offering a simple, warm and familiar welcome.
A Massa Martana, in the province of Perugia, there is a small village developed all around its magnificent castle, it is Montignano which has dominated this fabulous glimpse of Umbrian nature since the year XNUMX. Theater of the struggles between Guelphs and Ghibellines, it passed into the hands of several families, up to the current transformation into Albergo Diffuso, which began with the works of renovation in 2005.
