Casa Bianconi: rooms and services

The 37 rooms come in five types (suite, junior suite, deluxe and deluxe family, superior, romantic) and each one is different: handmade terracotta floors, natural wood furniture and doors made with a family of craftsmen from Città di Castello, in keeping with the restrictions of the historic building.

The spa occupies the quietest part of the building: it includes a red spruce sauna, a steam bath with natural Apennine aromas and other relaxation facilities, with two treatment rooms, one of which is also designed for couples.

The Granaro del Monte, inside the hotel, belongs to the Ristoranti del Buon Ricordo and the Locali Storici d'Italia (historic venues of Italy): its six 16th-century dining rooms have barrel and cross vaults, old fireplaces and tapestries. A second dining room, in 1940s style, is centered on an open kitchen devoted to grilled meats.
