Owner Anna Maria is the star at this lovely family-run hotel. She cheerfully welcomes you to her lovingly restored 18th-century home set in tranquil countryside just outside town. Its traditional, tile-floored rooms sport a restrained rustic look, while outside a garden terrace presents dreamy views over verdant, cypress-plumed hillsides. Homemade cakes and honey are served with bread, ricotta and coffee at breakfast.

The hotel is in the tiny frazione (fraction) of Collerisana, about a 1.6km walk west of Piazza della Libertà.
