When old villages are transformed into a wonderful green accommodation, that’s when the magic happens. Ancient buildings full of history and myths, but at the same time equipped to make your holiday both confortable and sustainable. Among unspoiled mountains, but not only, among the greenest woods and the bluest waters, we will show you 3 of the most beautiful old villages which became green tourist accommodation, in order to make you experience something unforgettable.<\/h3>\n

There is something magic about sleeping in a place with many years of history to tell behind. Not to take anything away from all the luxurious modern hotels, but an ancient house<\/strong> will always have a special atmosphere, with its unique traditions and its walls filled with past\u00a0tales. Transforming old villages<\/strong> in tourist facilities such as hotels, B&B and apartments is a reality which is slowly taking place in Italy and that allow travellers to dive into past times by staying in these places.<\/p>\n

Looking at it with a responsible turist eye, these old villages are also an example of eco-sustainability<\/strong>. Indeed, they enhance local custom and products and are reconstructed on preexisting buildings, so they won’t consume new soil and resources. To sum up, they are little green gems ready to be discovered, but most importantly preserved, as many old villages keep being abandoned and are at risk of extinction.<\/p>\n
