T
he Renaissance is reanimated across the halls of Umbria's Borgo
dei Conti Resort. Overlooking 40 acres of Italian countryside, the
property is a testament to local legacy and craftsmanship following
a revitalization by Milanese studio Spagnulo & Partners. " The hotel becomes a
kind of link to the history of the place, to the soul of the place, " says founder and
senior partner Federico Spagnulo.
Updates impacted the estate's two main buildings: the Villa and La Colonica,
the latter of which is set to unveil refreshed accommodations in 2025.
Renaissance paintings by Umbrian master Pietro Perugino also inspired the
project's palette and heritage storytelling. " We discovered a very important
cultural story about this area, " Spagnulo says. " We did the project, which is
contemporary, using the same color scheme. "
Centuries of Umbrian craft traditions are imbued across the resort by local
artisans. New wooden inlays and textiles, for instance, layer texture alongside
original architectural elements like wood beams, fireplaces, and restored
frescoes. Public spaces like the communal living room tout newly modernized
layouts populated by both custom and vintage furniture.
Beside a fine dining concept and an all-day trattoria, the lounge bar evokes
authenticity with a raw materiality and deep gray and brown hues, while its
adjoined courtyard is planted with citrus trees for an earthy touch. Wood and
other natural surfaces also permeate the indoor-outdoor spa, which features
four private cabins, saunas, and a heated indoor swimming pool. Nestled into
lush greenery, the infinity pool serves as a key social hub lined with cabanas
and chaise lounges.
