Its historic architecture, personalised service, and elegant event spaces make it an excellent choice for executive retreats, incentive travel programmes, and exclusive corporate gatherings.
Rooms & Suites: 46 beautiful rooms and suites
Lounge Bars:
LE BAR LONG – The Hotel‟s Bar stands in the Sala delle Ceramiche (Hall of Ceramics), in his day Baron Oppenheim’s dining room. A spectacular glass table with coloured LED lighting, creating a series of contrasting colours, is the room’s prevailing feature. Along its walls are placed original 19th century pieces of furniture which treasure the finest bottles of whisky.
CIGAR ROOM – The well-supplied smoking room is in the cellars, next to the Restaurant. Here you can taste carefully selected spirits and smoke valuable cigars from all over the world.
Restaurants:
IL PASHA – In the century-old cellars lies the „Il Pasha‟ Restaurant, dedicated to Ismail Pascià, Khedive of Egypt, who stayed in the villa for a long time. A versatile place influenced by Middle-East aesthetics where you can enjoy Chef Federico Vannini‟ s special dishes, which all follow the ideas of simplicity, passion and elegance. His cuisine ranges from traditional dishes to other more original and innovative ones, paying great attention to genuine ingredients that are carefully prepared and chosen, thanks to a precise selection of local produce.
LE POOL BRISTROT – From May to October, lunch is served in a bright and sunny conservatory which holds a delightful bistrot in its large room, with a view over the open-air swimming pool and over the hotel‟s wonderful park.
Spa: The Spa is to be found on the lower floor of Villino Eugenia, a guest house overlooking the Bobolino‟s gardens which once served as the Villa‟s stables.
The Wellness Centre is made up of a tepidarium, a sauna, a Turkish bath and a gym fitted out with the very latest Technogym equipment. It offers both Oriental and European massages as well as beauty and wellness treatments. The Hotel offers its guests, at their request, made-to-measure treatments so as to satisfy all their requirements and needs: personalized diets suitable for the wellness centre‟s various programs, check-ups and measurements with a personal trainer, face and body treatments with the products of the most avant-garde cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies.
