Your dream Italian hotel room … a cave.
Ah yes, the dream of Italy. Your balcony of cool white marble floating above the lively piazza as the sun goes down behind the distant hill, crowned with cypress trees, a glass of prosecco in your hand, your loved one glowing and relaxed by your side. Or. Or a cave.
Like the dwellings that surround it, much of the hotel incorporates grottoes, with facades cut into the rock or constructed from limestone blocks. Suite 10 had been transformed into a magical version of Plato’s Cave, glowing with golden artificial light that filtered in through small windows, and from recessed lighting in the walls. The minimal space was simply decorated, with an artfully worn wooden desk, a large bed with a white crocheted cover, arched ceilings and a floor of packed earth and patinaed stone tiles.
