Have Your Dream Vacation at Palazzo Terranova in Perugia, Italy
December 05, 2011
Few things seem as luxurious and romantic as a European vacation, especially in Italy. However, it is not always the best idea to opt for the busy cities such as Rome or Milan, especially if you are looking for a more rustic and laid back feel for your trip. The city of Perugia, for instance, is quite promising. For one thing, it is well known for chocolate as the home of the famous Baci. It is also a reasonable distance from other major cities you might want to visit, such as Florence or Rome.
Of course, to enjoy your vacation, you must have suitable accommodations. Palazzo Terranova is probably the best option you have if you really want to enjoy your stay to the fullest. It has been cited by a number of travel guides for its luxurious accommodations, amenities, and great service.
There is nothing ordinary about the accommodations at Palazzo Terranova. For one thing, no two rooms are alike. Each of the lavishly-appointed rooms is named after either an opera or a character from one. As such, every room has a distinct feel. If you book in advance, you might just be able to get the perfect room for your needs. La Boheme, for example, has its own Jacuzzi and is specially-designed for couples. For bigger groups, families, or those who want more space and privacy, there are a couple of villas as well.
Palazzo Terranova has its own fitness center where you can go for an energizing workout. You can even hire the services of a personal trainer if you wish, or simply engage in other fitness activities, such as pilates or aqua fitness. On the other hand, you can also choose to do some laps in the swimming pool which offers the added benefit of a spectacular view. Visit hotel website.
After all that exertion, you can go back to relaxing with the help of Palazzo Terranova’s spa treatments. It offers almost anything necessary to make you feel pampered, from regular salon services to more exquisite olive oil and massage therapies.
Palazzo Terranova is definitely an ideal location for a wedding. With the lovely view, secluded location, and beautiful furnishings, it offers just the right combination of elements for a perfect romantic event. Whether you are planning to do the wedding elsewhere and bring the reception to the hotel, or prefer to have both in the same location, this 18th century villa is sure to provide the proper ambiance.
Of course, no reception can be perfect without great food. Palazzo Terranova makes use of the best local ingredients to come up with sumptuous dishes. As for the rest of the event, you need not worry because the hotel has its own team which will carry out the wedding plans to the last detail. This will definitely make for a stress-free and romantic event which all of your guests will always remember.
There is certainly no room for boredom at Palazzo Terranova, because aside from the captivating surroundings, you can also find interest in learning more about the food you are being served. Cooking classes are offered all year, whether to individuals or groups. You will be able to return home with more than just memories of Italy, because you will be able to recreate the experience by making the local dishes over and over!
If you don’t want to cook but certainly want to taste, then perhaps you can opt for a wine tour instead. The great thing about this is that it is not just about tasting the wine but also understanding the process of making it, as well as exploring the vineyards and gardens. It will definitely prove to be a fascinating experience.
If you’re lucky and you happen to book during the right season, you can even go on a truffle and porcini hunt with the hunters. In fact, there is a special two-night package for this which will allow you to have a taste of these valuable mushrooms.
