An Umbrian Idyll

Borgo Zampani, located near one of the world’s most elegant and enchanting city -- Todi -- is surrounded by 32 rolling hectares of pristine forests and meadows. Smack in the middle of government-protected land, the Borgo is the perfect size and location for numerous kinds of projects.

There is no limit to the imagination: Borgo Zampani could be transformed into a retreat, a refuge from the world frenzy, a luxury hotel, a private compound, a school, a culinary laboratory, and so much more. 

Borgo Zampani is one of the largest compounds of its kind -- buildings and grounds -- in a region that normally prohibits raising new structures on historical sites. Sprawling space for all residential, social and business needs is assured. The Borgo's location makes it intensely private, and yet it's close to the major attractions of Umbria's towns and about one hour from Rome.

With its terraced levels, gracious archways, grand and historic buildings, elegant piazza, sweeping vistas and luscious grounds, plus the appropriate modern conveniences, the borgo could become a personal spa, a sanctuary, and a life- and business-center away from the frenzied urban world.

Once restored, the 25 beautiful buildings set in a stunning natural setting would combine sophisticated and comfortable elegance with every modern convenience. 
Easily accessible by car from Rome (only 90 minutes to the airport and one hour to Rome itself) the Borgo provides a sanctuary from a bustling, noisy city life, offering the possibility to relax and to develop and nurture relationships.

Guests would stroll among ancient alleys and archways, woodland paths, groves of olive and chestnut trees. Behind the main palace, the ruins of a tower dated from the year 1000, are said to mark the place of the famous battle between the Roman generals Mario and Silla. The surrounding winding hills and mountain roads invite easy excursions among the many medieval walled towns and hamlets that dot the Umbrian countryside.  Stone farmhouses, towers and castles are part of this enchanting landscape. 

World-class restaurants and simple (but superb) local trattorias are a very short drive away. Exciting cultural events (Umbria Jazz, The Spoleto Festival, to name a few) and some of the greatest works of art fill the Umbrian region, from Giotto to Perugino, to Piero della Francesca and Raphael. It all makes for truly memorable day excursions.

The closest town, Massa Martana, was rebuilt a few decades ago with in mind all sorts of modern technological conveniences -- from broadband internet to satellite television. Fiber optics technology  -- already in situ in Massa Martana --would keep guests in touch with the world from which they have chosen to escape for a mind and body vacation.

Five-Star Luxury Hotel Complex

Borgo Zampani is the finest possible setting for an exquisite elegant hotel and resort. The grounds and buildings -- once restored to their original beauty -- could easily be a textbook example of fusion between the severe medieval architecture and a contemporary design.

Luxurious amenities and services may offer the visitor an unparalleled guest experience, whether for relaxation or reinvigoration. All the modern technological conveniences -- from broadband Internet to satellite television -- keep the traveller as in touch with the world as he or she may wish to be.  

This luxury hotel-spa model has been extremely successful in Umbria and neighboring Tuscany, attracting significant tourism and investments.
The possibility for exquisite dining venues, luxury rooms and suites where secular or clerical nobility have once dwelled, would allow for expansive meeting, banquet and reception spaces.

Exclusive Members' Club

Established as an exclusive private club, the Borgo Zampani would offer members and guests a private enclave, a celebrated and ancient heritage, and unparalleled service. 
Members, spouses and guests would experience extraordinary service in an unquestioningly beautiful setting. World-class facilities would meet their personal and business needs. A perfect place where to clear and focus one's mind, and where to renew one's soul. A professional staff would cater to a range of business and social functions and needs.

Exquisite dining facilities on- and off-site would provide excellent light meals, breakfasts, brunches and superb lunches, dinners and banquets. Meeting facilities could serve both intimate gatherings and larger-scale business affairs. State of the art wine cellars could be built in the basements of the medieval buildings.

Corporate Center and Retreat

Set strategy, Think outside the box, Unleash creativity, Reward top performers, Focus the minds of your executive team, all of this could be available in a uniquely peaceful yet energizing setting. Free from distractions and rich in inspirations.
Configured as a corporate retreat, conference facility, briefing center, or executive education and training center, the nearly 4.000 m2 (40,000 sq. ft.) of buildings are an ideal environment for relaxation, team building, and sharpening one's mental focus.

Private Retreat

For the individual or family who has achieved great things. For someone with the highest personal standards and taste. For someone with a deep and abiding appreciation for the evocative beauty and mystery of great architecture amid the splendor and spirituality of unsullied hills. 

Culinary Center / Institute

Borgo Zampani could attract famous chefs, gourmet diners, and members of culinary academia.  
Umbria is already renowned for its unique contributions to the Italian gastronomic culture, and for its celebrated wines. Chocolate (Perugina) has made the city of Perugia world-famous and new artisanal chocolatiers are currently being established all over the region. Olive oil and chestnuts are other well-known Umbrian treasures. The insaccati -- salami, prosciutti, sausages -- are famously exceptional, in fact the Italian word norcino (butcher specialized in pork products) derives from the nearby town of Norcia.

Local black truffles, found all over the region, often appear in Umbrian recipes, grated or sliced on tagliolini, on meat, on cheese or on risottos.

A culinary center, whether stand-alone or as part of a luxury resort destination, could well bring together the best of Umbrian culinary traditions with world-class and regional dining, resident chefs, events and education, adding to the luster and fame of a land already well-loved by connoisseurs of fine wines and foods.

Exclusive International Wedding Resort

What setting can be more romantic, elegant and luxurious for the celebration of a wedding than a medieval village in the heart of Italy, complete with an ancient palazzo and piazza, church, winery, woodlands and meadows, breathtaking views, and a luxury hotel?

A fairy-tale wedding on the steps of a thousand-year-old palace, exchanging vows under archways of stone that have seen hundreds of years of continuity, bedecked by fresh wildflowers and olive branches.  What could be better than to regale loved ones and friends in sophisticated entertaining spaces, with menus prepared by world-class chefs, just steps from luxurious hotel rooms and suites, exclusive spa facilities, and world-class dining. 
Borgo Zampani could make each one of those dreams come true.

Luxury Rehab Center or Retirement Center

Individual and loving attention in the privacy of an extraordinary setting, with all the facilities of a luxury resort (pool, gym, nature-walks, tennis courts, yoga, Pilates), the availability of great food and an atmosphere out of Medieval painting could make Borgo Zampani one of the most diverse and stunning destination for Rehab or Retirement centers.
Spa therapies and medical attention, combined with the proximity of extremely well run local Hospitals, would make the Borgo THE ideal place.
