The
renovation of the San Donino farm house, was carried out with the aim of
conserving as much as possibile of the origonal structure, restoring the
farm house to its antique balance between
looks and nature.
The natural context in which the farm house is found, surrounded by
vinyards, olive plantations, truffle fields with woods and native plants,
creates a continuing integrated solution.
The farmhouse is furnished with simple traditional antiques from various
ages, dating from the 18th till early 20th century, in harmany with the
renovation, allowing Borgo San Donino to keep its original personality as
a country farmhouse and not a splendid villa.
The
apartments have been furnished with made to measure furniture according to
enviornmently friendly tecniques and natural materials like wood, treated
exclusively with natural wax or with enviornmently friendly water based
products, stone and hand worked iron. The soft furnishings are also made
from natural fabrics like coton and linen, using colours from the land and
simple traditional styles,
cut and sewn by hand.
As
well as the possibility to stay overnight, Borgo San Donino has an area
dedicated to wine and traditional local products. In the small “shop”,
great importance is given to the wine production of the Capuzza Farm,
situated in a precious wine growing area, which unites the 3 doc areas of
the Brescia side of Lake Garda.
