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.
