Hotel Borgo Paraelios is a 19th-century villa, 45-minute drive from Rieti's center. It is surrounded by olive groves and farmlands. It combines the formality and grace with down-home informality and friendliness.
The Borgo Paraelios is an idyllic haven of calm in which the architect has lovingly preserved the period furniture and marvellous vaulted ceilings of bygone days. Guests are welcomed in a charming lobby decorated with Oriental rugs and Italian paintings, some of them by Canaletto. Rooms are tastefully furnished with Florentine-style antiques and include all the modern comforts. The large marbled bathrooms have robes, body care products, and shower-tub combinations. The 173-acre park offers the bucolic atmosphere of Roman hills. You can also sip a drink on the edges of the outside pool, framed by Mediterranean flowers.
