The latest additions to VRetreats' portfolio include five new properties, collectively offering a total of 570 rooms.
Five new VRetreats properties
They are the Roma Hotel in Ortigia, Siracusa; Palazzo Sant'Anna in the heart of Lecce; Cala Cuncheddi in Olbia; the Cervino in the Alps; and the Tornabuoni in Florence. The Roma Hotel, situated in Ortigia, is a historic building dating back to the late 1900s with 40 rooms and suites, a restaurant and a bar. Currently there are plans to renovate the public areas and rooms.
18th-century and contemporary charm
Moving to Southern Italy, Palazzo Sant'Anna in Lecce is a charming hotel with courtyards, gardens, and panoramic terraces. The property, which consists of three original units (two 18th century and one 14th century) has undergone an extensive makeover and now has 16 rooms and suites. In the northeast of Sardinia we find Cala Cuncheddi, a contemporary-style resort with 85 rooms and suites. A seaside retreat located just a stone's throw away from the beach and with an infinity pool.
VRetreats’ first mountain property
The VRetreats Cervino marks a significant expansion for the brand, which previously focused on city hotels and luxury beach resorts. Situated on the Italian-Swiss border in the Alps, this 5-star opened in October 2021. Boasting 70 rooms and suites, a restaurant serving authentic Aosta Valley cuisine, a versatile event space capable of accommodating up to 300 people, it also has a Wellness by Adara spa.
The Tornabuoni in Florence also joins VRetreats
The most recent of the five VRetreats to join the collection is the Tornabuoni in Florence. With 62 rooms and suites it has hosted such famous figures as Henry James, the Agnelli family, John Steinbeck, Fredric March, Lord Spencer, and Barbara Bush, among others. Guests can enjoy the terrace with its breath-taking city views, and the property is conveniently close to popular attractions like the Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, Piazza della Repubblica, and the Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral. The Tornabuoni also has two restaurants—one serving eclectic Italian cuisine and the other international favourites, and there is also a café and a wine cellar.
