New Lodging option in Italia

So, you may be like me and have a fervent fetish for Italia... and everything Italian. I just melt like warm gelato (ha!) when I think of aimlessly meandering the streets of Roma. Ahhh....

This morning I ran across a new lodging option for your next trip to Italy. Yes, I love the comfort of clean hotels and hospitality of pensions; but how staying in an Italian village that has been resurrected as a hotel?

This has got to be one of the neatest ways to experience the culture. From CNN travel: "This new type of hotel is probably the closest travelers can come to living like a local in Italy. You stay in apartments or rooms in renovated houses that sit next to buildings still occupied by residents, "inserting yourself into a town and becoming part of it temporarily," says Giovanni Pacifico, the site manager for Sextantio il Albergo Diffuso."
