Hotel La Casettathere’s something Italian in the air
The loft-style “Mountain” room offers a unique layout ideal for groups or families, with polished wood floors, luxurious brass bathroom fittings and a trio of faux antique iron frame beds that offer the ultimate in sleeping comfort. Modern touches like rainforest shower, goose-down pillows, full international cable TV and state-of-the-art climate control afford all the comforts of home – and then some.

Stepping outdoors, a short stroll along a stone paved pathway leads to a grand Romanesque style swimming pool, framed in ornate columns with water spouts delicately streaming from above.
