Relais Villa Pomela. Entering a winding gravel road lined with beautiful trees and after driving for about 3/4 of a mile, one arrives at a not too imposing structure resembling the typical old house on the hill. Upon entering that feeling totally changes, an immaculate hotel that looks as it had been opened yesterday. The building was bought by Paolo d’Amore to convert it into a luxurious hotel. Mr. Paolo d’Amore being an avid antique collector whose main business is very different (including wine producing) decided to refurbish the structure almost as a hobby. The bedrooms are spacious and beautifully done. Every single piece of furniture in the hotel is an authentic antique, most of them were brought from France. all the walls display original paintings, for example, on one of the walls of a room there is a painting of Pope Pius V done in 1566, not signed but certainly done by a first rate painter of the time. But do not think that the hotel does not have modern appointments. There are sensors in the rooms which tell the main desk if the room is occupied or vacant and 85% of the rooms have Jacuzzi tubs. The restaurant is small but very nice and the menu changes every day. Noteworthy is the conference room with a beautiful 35 foot high ceiling.
