When I started building a Albergo Diffuso in 2019, I never expected it to become the FIRST DIFFUSED HOTEL in VENETO.
And yet, that is exactly how it is.
In Veneto, there are other realities that propose widespread hospitality, but only Antico Borgo Brunelli has managed to become the first Albergo Diffuso in the region.
This is a real satisfaction for me because, being the first, my husband Sandro and I had to overcome quite a few difficulties. Bureaucratic difficulties due to classification, registration at the land registry, etc. etc.
Now that we have been open for a few weeks and have had the pleasure of having our first guests, I realise that this dream I had has become a beautiful reality.
“In hard times we must have hard dreams, real dreams, ones that, if we put our minds to it, will come true.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés
This famous phrase interprets exactly what our path has been. In the beginning, ours was a dream, and when we started to realise it, times became more difficult. Just when times became tough and as a result, our dream became harder to realise, we also fought harder.
What has given me most satisfaction is receiving positive reviews from those who have stayed, who have mainly appreciated two aspects:
- Hospitality
- The beauty of the village where the structure stands
Hospitality for me is everything: from the design with which we conceived the rooms, to the welcome of the people who choose to stay with us. From the care of the breakfast, made with fresh, quality products, to the simple advice on how to spend a weekend full of experiences in serenity.
The beauty of the village is a beauty that needs to be experienced with the right slowness. Slowness that is a typical feature of staying in a Albergo Diffuso. I had talked in a previous article about ‘How to become a resident of an ancient village for one or more days even if you are actually a tourist’, if you missed it you can find it here: https://anticoborgobrunelli.it/en/come-diventare-residente-di-un-antico-borgo-per-uno-o-piu-giorni-anche-se-sei-in-realta-un-turista/
I have always lived in this ancient Borgo and for me, waking up in the morning with a view of the mountains and the Veneto plain is a given, feeling the ‘crisp’ air that fills me with energy every day is normal.
Today, being able to share these sensations with other guests of Antico Borgo Brunelli is a real achievement for me, and I will endeavour to ensure that more and more people have this wonderful experience.
If you haven’t already done so, I invite you to read the reviews of those who have stayed with us.
