Setting the Scene 

Perched atop a hill with 360° countryside views, Borgo Bastia Creti is a restored 14th-century hamlet that blends rustic elegance with contemporary comfort. Owned by the Wirth family (of Hotel Hassler Roma), the estate spans 6.5 acres and comprises five beautifully appointed residences—complete with antique furnishings, handcrafted terracotta floors, wood-beamed ceilings, and lush gardens. Guests enjoy full access to all the Borgo’s services, sports facilities, and tranquil privacy.
