Surrounded by 40 acres of olive groves and lush forestland, Borgo dei Conti Resort officially opens in the hills of Umbria, Italy. The resort transports guests back to the Italian Renaissance with the use of rich color palettes inspired by painters like Pietro Perugino and Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino. Traditional architecture dating back to the 19th century is paired with modern furnishings across the 40 guestrooms and suites.

Suites like the Count’s Suite boast a king-sized bed, minibar, deep-soaking tub, WiFi and more. The Contessa Family Suite, meanwhile, has space for up to four guests and features a historic, cast-iron fireplaces dating back to the 17th century and an exclusive living area in the historical library of the resort. This suite also includes a balcony overlooking the Lebanese cedars in the main square.

The resort is also home to several restaurants and bars. At Cedri Restaurant, authentic, fine dining is at the forefront, showcasing seasonal, raw materials from local producers and the resort’s garden. Contemporary gastronomy meets Umbria culinary art at Osteria del Borgo, combining flavors of Mediterranean cuisine with international twists. And for a drink, the Lounge Bar serves up both signature cocktails and timeless classics.

Borgo dei Conti Resort’s on-site spa, modular SPA, is divided between the indoors and outdoors. On the ground floor, expect a welcoming wet area with a hydromassage tub, contemporary bio-sauna with panoramic views, Finnish sauna and a treatment area of four cabins. The spa also includes the Salt Room and a Sensory Deprivation area. Upstairs, spend time in the outdoor relaxation area and heated pool.

Unique experiences await guests of the resort, from an open-air cinema to a romantic dinner in the woods to a picnic in an olive grove. Guests can even take cooking classes or indulge in a wine-tasting session.

Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley

Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
