Borgo Paraelios (5 Star Luxury Hotels) Poggio Catino

The Borgo Paraelios is a charming 5 star luxury hotel nestling in the countryside close to Rome in the Valle Collichia di Poggio Catino. Once the private country residence of the Salabé family, Borgo Paraelios is now member of the prestigious Relais and Chateaux hotel group.

This exquisite 19th century building surrounded by extensive gardens, features original, terracotta floors and centuries old exposed wooden beam ceilings. The grand salon, library, breakfast room, billiard and card room are all furnished with beautiful antiques and adorned with period paintings and wall hangings from the owner's priceless private collection.

The 16 double rooms and 2 junior suites of the Borgo Paraelios are all individually appointed in romantic country style, characterized by large brass beds, period furniture and delicate floral printed drapes and bedspreads. Nearly all the apartments have their own private patios leading in to the hotel's lush green gardens.

Guests dine in the Borgo Paraelios' magnificent frescoed dining room or, in warm weather, on the restaurant's terraces. The strictly seasonal menus offer a superb selection of beautifully presented Mediterranean dishes, prepared using only the freshest of locally sourced ingredients and "Sabine" extra virgin olive oil. An excellent wine list offers guests the opportunity to savor some of the region's finest wines.

The Borgo Paraelios provides an extensive range of leisure facilities including fitness room, synthetic grass tennis court, inside and outside swimming pools, a 9 hole golf course at the hotel's "Colle di Tetti" Golf Club and a professional Beauty Center, the latter offering numerous face and body treatments, sauna, and Turkish bath.

The hotel's peaceful location, just an hour's drive away from Rome, makes the Borgo Paraelios a much requested venue for both small room meetings and top level social events. The hotel's Meeting Room, with floor to ceiling windows, travertine floors and period furnishings offers a supremely elegant environment where to conduct important business meetings, with the aid of the latest conference room technology.
