About Albergo Diffuso
This is an initiative of Italian origin that uses empty houses scattered around the region to turn the whole area into a hotel, rather than a single building.
The entire town is considered a hotel, with components such as receptions, accommodations, and restaurants spread throughout the town.
It is a style of stay that is like living in the community, and is attracting attention as a model for creating a tourism region that realizes "horizontal development" of the region.
