Errichtungsjahr: 1800
Was ist die Geschichte der Immobilie?
The 19th century building belonged to Conti Guerrini who, in the person of Hilda aunt, donated it entirely to my mother about 15 years ago.
It rises on an old garden and small graveyard of the friars and in our courtyard Guests can still admire a friar tombstone that was found in the subway during renovation, a marvelous example of carrara white marble craftsmanship.
In 2003 we started renovations and in 2005 we finally opened as Residence Hilda. The style tends to suggest cleanliness, comfort and light and to offer an environment to fill with your imagination.
A place to relax during holidays or after work, with all the modern comforts, with much more space than a traditional hotel, with the privacy as a private home, but with the services of an excellent hotel (and beyond, thanks to it being family run).
Floral gifts come from our garden on the hills, where we have a 62 English roses bushes collection, as well as the fruits, when available.
It was a tradition for English travellers, in the early 20th century, to stay in good guest-houses offering comity and warm hospitality. Often, they returned to the same guest-house for generations during their “Grand Tour”.
The minimalist style of the furniture, with contemporary design, and the ambition to recreate the courtesy atmosphere of 1 century ago, may seem in contrast, but they actually tend to the same goal: make our Guests' stay as pleasant as possible.
