Once in a while, we receive requests from hotels and B&Bs to be featured in the Unofficial Guide. Of course, we’re limited to how often we can update the book – that’s why we started this website!
In order to meet this request and to give our readers some additional lodging ideas, we are starting a new post feature called Hotel Spotlight. We will not be able to inspect each and every hotel, but we will take a look at the hotel’s rates, rooms and services and distill them into quick little “bytes.” Disclaimer: Hotel features are solely at the discretion of the editors of Italofile. We have not received any special incentive to feature these accommodations
Kicking off Hotel Spotlight is La Masale, a bed and breakfast in Umbria.
Name: La Masale
Location: In Umbria, Near Todi
Contact: Phone/fax 075-894-7073
Web: http://www.lamasale.com/
Rates: €70-90, breakfast included (3 night minimum); €2,520-3,500 for rental of the entire inn (16-18 occupancy; minimum one week)
What’s Cool: Like many agriturismo inns, La Masale gives guests the option to buy local agricultural products, such as truffles and olive oil. La Masale also offers courses in parchment cutting and bookbinding (a dying art, even in Italy) and watercolor. Classes are available at extra cost and require a minimum number (6) of participants.
