Italy: Revitalising Hill Villages, A New Type of Hotel, The Alberghi Diffusi Model

From Guardian Travel - Liz Boulter, additional writing by Silvia Marchetti

"The model is the albergo diffuso, which translates best as “scattered hotel” and has really taken off this century. Rather than building a hotel to bring tourist euros into a picturesque village, or knocking buildings together, an albergo diffuso takes the more sustainable route of refurbishing empty or abandoned homes".

Another model for Greece's Zagori region?
