Hotel
Asmundo di Gisira is an informal independent hotel, intentionally comprising a small number of Art Rooms, appointed with care to detail in order to embody fully the Art of Hospitality, respecting history while looking to the future through a perfect artistic melting pot: Italian furnishings of the 1930s and 1960s are beautifully matched with stucco or frescoed ceilings or and other unique historical elements, creating the unique concept of Asmundo di Gisira.
