Bulgarella: i progetti italiani fra commerciale e leisure

🏡 Bulgarella Group's expansion continues with the opening of a 4-star commercial "green" hotel in Palermo and the Marinella colony in Sarzana, both in 2025. Additionally, they are working on two hotels in Viareggio. Currently, Bulgarella has 30 properties across 5 Italian regions.
