🏠 Bonfanti Design Hotel, a 4-star establishment in Val Pusteria, underwent a significant renovation and expansion by the Bonfanti family, with Paola Bonfanti, hotel director Jan Vlasak, and architect Paul Seeber creating an "alpin chic" design. The hotel now boasts 60 spacious contemporary rooms including Design Room Lux, Royal Design Suite, and an 80 sqm King Royal Suite with forest views. Wellness offerings include a year-round heated outdoor pool and a 300 sqm swim pond, an outdoor sauna, and a -10° snow room. The hotel also features a restaurant with show cooking, an exclusive bistro, a cellar with over 100 fine wines, and a lounge bar. A large playroom caters to children with a variety of entertainment options.

🏡 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. Ray Lo Faso, the group's General Manager, stated they are focused on Rome and Milan but have no plans for international expansion. The group aims to cater to up-level clients seeking experiential holidays, as seen in the case of Room of Andrea in Trapani, located in the historical Palazzo Platamone. Challenges for expansion include lack of investments and accessibility in "minor Italy," with seaside tourism notably suffering due to high flight prices and tourist taxes.
