Building la dolce vita
About tradition and inspiration
Built from the ruins of an abandoned Tuscan village, the hilltop Monteverdi hotel is unique – a place where history and modernity fuse
When you first lay eyes on it, it is immediately clear that the Monteverdi is not really a hotel. Not in the traditional sense, at least.
