Scene
Restored 19th-century villa with Old World charm
Housed in a restored 19th-century villa, Hotel Villa Flori has maintained the original look of the exquisite stucco work and floral frescoes, complementing them with antique furnishings and beautiful gardens. The cobblestoned entryway leads into a beautiful lobby with colorful mosaic floors, vintage maroon and royal blue chairs and sofas, an oak reception desk, black-and-white artwork, and ornate light fittings. The exteriors are home to a private garden with orange and lemon groves among beautifully landscaped gardens and a few figure statues along the stoned pathways. An elegant Old World charm is apparent throughout the hotel, from the old-fashioned portraits of prominent past guests to the large bookshelf in the hallway, detailed ceilings, and beautifully decorated restaurant and bar. The location right on the lake adds to the relaxing atmosphere and there are several spots (both indoor and outdoor) for guests to sit back and take in the views. The romantic scenery makes the hotel popular for couples.
