La Preghiera Historical Residences
Definitely the most luxurious of Umbria's ever increasing number of Bed & Breakfast hotels, La Preghiera occupies a magnificent 12th century edifice situated in the countryside just outside the village of Calzolaro.
Originally a monastic complex built for the Frairs of Mont'Ulivetani, La Preghiera has been painstakingly restored and transformed in charming country guest house by its current owners, Liliana de Tunstill and her husband John. La Preghiera is immersed in the green Umbrian countryside in the Upper Tiber Valley.
Centuries old terracotta paving tiles, ancient wooden beams, and great stone fireplaces feature in La Preghiera's comfortable public rooms. The Bed & Breakfast's eleven, wonderfully romantic bedrooms, have been decorated with the highest quality textiles and drapes, and exquisite pieces of hand painted furniture; all personally selected by the owners.
The main house and the adjacent cottage (villa Moscatelli) are immersed in gardens brimming with sweet scented lavender, thyme, and rosemary bushes. Among the delightful features to be found within La Preghiera's peaceful grounds, there is a sunken garden, an eco-friendly swimming pool, and a tiny private chapel, this latter providing a unique venue where to celebrate a marriage, christening or renewal of wedding vows.
La Preghiera, is available for partial or exclusive use. There is an ancient Umbrian proverb, "a stranger is a friend unyet met". This is the philosophy at La Preghiera, where you can spend a precious relaxing time.
