Home: The rooms & 'Albergo Diffuso' (Diffuse Hotel)


A "Country Hotel" in the middle of a green valley

La Casella is member of the Italian association Alberghi Diffusi (www.alberghidiffusi.it).

The hotel consists of 32 standard rooms and 18 "green country houses".
All our rooms are decorated with stylish, locally hand-crafted furniture and original paintings of artists who have lived and worked in the art workshop of La Casella.
• Our standard rooms are equipped with Wi-Fi high speed internet connection, heating, hair drier, telephone and coffee/tea maker.
• Our "green country houses" were built in order to realize the dream of spending a relaxing, confortable stay, being away from home, but at the same time feeling at home!
• Our "green country houses" have: 2-6 people max. occupancy, kitchen, living room, 1-2 bathrooms, heating, hair drier, satellite television, Wi-Fi high speed internet connection, telephone.

Partly a house and partly a hotel, dedicated to those people who do not like hotel stays; in short, this is a new form of hospitality that takes the name of “Albergo Diffuso” (hereafter AD).
Its main components are distributed in different buildings, all located in the same village/town. The term “diffuso” (diffuse) denotes a structure that is horizontal, and not vertical like the one pertaining to traditional hotels, which often do not constitute a pleasant sight, reminding us of blocks of flats.

ADs satisfy the tourists’ demand of stays in renowned and famous areas and towns, of contact with residents and local people rather than only with other tourists, and of the traditional comforts offered in hotels, such as room service or a restaurant.

This form of hospitality has showed to be very efficient for the valorization of towns and villages that are artistically or architecturally peculiar and interesting; through ADs we can valorize old and dismissed buildings and, at the same time, we can avoid to solve the problems of hospitality only through the construction of new structures.
