Two new jewels in Liguria and Puglia.
Autentico Hotels proudly announces the entry of 2 new jewels into the collection: Villa Riviera Resort on the Ligurian Riviera, a short distance from Portofino, and Leonardo Trulli Resort in Locorotondo in Puglia. With a blend of local charm, impeccable service, and luxury comfort, the new properties epitomize the essence of Autentico Hotels’ hospitality and possess all the requisite to become part of the Autentico family. They have been carefully selected to complement the portfolio of hotels, all independent, 5-star, with unique personalities and exclusively family-run that stand out for authenticity and the pleasant sensation of always feeling at home.
Villa Riviera Resort is a timeless oasis of peace nestled in a 15,000 square meter park overlooking the Ligurian coast between Portofino and the Cinque Terre. The resort enchants with its blend of elegance and views over the entire Gulf of Tigullio, where the 4 elements – water, air, earth, and fire – converge to ensure a personalized stay experience. 2 historic villas with just 15 meticulously curated rooms feature original frescoes and floors alternating with designer furnishings and elements, 2 restaurants, an outdoor spa nestled among olive trees and ancient stone ruins, and a captivating infinity pool for a perfect couple’s getaway.
Leonardo Trulli Resort, located among ancient olive trees and the suggestive trulli of Alberobello, is the ideal destination for those seeking a luxury escape immersed in the beauty of the Apulian countryside. It’s a scattered structure consisting of characteristic trulli, a UNESCO World Heritage site, all finely restored while preserving authenticity, yet equipped with all modern comforts and exclusive services. A unique luxury experience for those wishing to discover the magic of this land rich in history, culture, and culinary traditions, thanks also to the restaurant led by the emerging chef awarded by the Gambero Rosso.
“With the entry of these 2 structures into the Autentico Hotels club, says Mario Cardone, CEO & Co-founder of Autentico Hospitality, we are able to guarantee a homogeneous offering throughout Italy, between art cities, seaside and mountain destinations, and in the most suggestive locations in the north, central, and south of Italy. Luxury is our specialty, and we are pleased to welcome to our exclusive club Villa Riviera and Leonardo Trulli Resort, which are fully embracing Autentico Hotels’ philosophy of family ownership and genuine passion for the art of hospitality and guest care.”
The year 2024 also sees an important reopening in Sardinia: nature lovers and silence seekers can finally return to the iconic Le Dune Piscinas Resort, which, after a 5-year renovation, will reopen its doors in June, and will be ready to offer its guests an even more attentive service thanks to its 5-star rating and memorable stays on Europe’s highest dunes gently sloping towards the turquoise sea. The revamped Le Dune Resort, located in a protected area directly on the beach, includes 28 rooms and suites, three restaurants, an American bar, a library, and a “silent” outdoor cinema, spa, gym, outdoor swimming pool, and common areas that allow guests to contemplate the magnificent dunes surrounding the resort.
“We are proud to include Le Dune Piscinas in the range of Autentico Hotels structures since last year, awaiting its reopening,” says Mario Cardone, CEO & Co-founder of Autentico Hospitality. “The new Eco-resort, protected by the Ministry of Culture, perfectly aligns with Autentico Hotels’ philosophy and harmonizes with the surrounding environment where spectacular nature is the true protagonist.”
