"A hamlet of restored rural buildings in the Ortolo valley in Corsica reopened in June as A Mandria di Murtoli. Guests can stay in a former sheepfold, stable or barn, or one of five rooms in the main house. Three of the smaller properties have private pools, all rooms have terraces and there is a big shared pool. The buildings have been refurbished by Corsican craftspeople in a minimalist Mediterranean style, using local materials."
"Rastrello, Umbria, Italy A meal at Rastrello in Umbria, a boutique hotel in a 500-year-old palazzo This boutique hotel is set in the renovated remains of a 500-year-old palazzo, surrounded by its own olive groves (which are hand-raked at harvest time; rastrello means rake in Italian). The palazzo is in the medieval village of Panicale, above Lake Trasimeno. This summer, the hotel opened a new garden annex, increasing the rooms from nine to 16, plus a dipping pool and wellness area."
A Mandria di Murtoli reopened in June as a hamlet of restored rural buildings in the Ortolo valley in Corsica. Guests can stay in converted sheepfolds, stables, barns or in five rooms in the main house; several properties have private pools, all rooms have terraces and there is a large shared pool. Buildings were refurbished by Corsican craftspeople using local materials. A neighbouring farm practices subsistence farming—raising livestock, market gardening and traditional crops—and the restaurant serves Sardinian-influenced dishes made with estate and local ingredients. Rastrello is a boutique hotel in a renovated 500-year-old palazzo in Panicale above Lake Trasimeno, set among hand-raked olive groves; a new garden annex increased rooms to 16 and added a dipping pool and wellness area, and the Cucina & Giardino restaurant showcases the farm’s extra-virgin olive oil, organic vegetables and Umbrian wines.
