Borgo
di Bastia Creti
Borgo
di Bastia Creti, is a 15th-century hilltop
hamlet in Umbria. This beautiful compound of pink-and-white
Assisi stone consists of five cottages and a main
chapel converted into a beautiful residence.
Other
than the wonderful restorations, little has changed
at Bastia Creti in the last 600 years. The renovation
of this very old and valuable Estate has been carried
out fully respecting the original beauty and structure,
carefully bringing out the most significant characteristics;
the beautiful mottled stone and round arches. Terra-cotta
floor tiles, oak-beam ceilings, rustic antiques and
bare stone walls create the finest country rustic
effect with city-elegant furnishings and completely
modern kitchens and bathrooms. Set among the landscape
which has formed the background to so many paintings,
the Bastia Creti, radiates from every view a picture
of harmony and beauty.
Indeed,
this is a special place for special people who appreciate
the mystic atmosphere of the countryside. It is a
place to relax by the pool or under the cypress trees,
to play tennis or enjoy a sauna.
The
Borgo is also a center from which you can visit the
most interesting cultural and religious spots of Italy
such as Assisi, Gubbio, Spoleto, Orvieto, Arezzo,
all of which are but a short drive away.
