Independent Report

general
This is a very good property. The hotel was at the beginning a former distillery built at the end of 19th century and then a textile mill. The additional unique element of this property is an amazing private collection of vintage cars dated back to the Twenties. This treasure is located inside the hotel, in a fantastic garage-museum. Moreover squash and tennis courts, gym and sauna are at guest disposal. The hotel on request organizes trekking tours on the mountains, limousine service with Lancia vintage car and pastry courses. 0309 SR

This building construction began at the end of the 19th Century and finished in the early 1920s. Originally it was the place of production of alcohol and fruit jams, then it became a textile factory.
