Villa Maria was restored in the 19th century by the celebrated ballet dancer Maria Taglioni and have since welcomed esteemed guests including Bellini, Rossini, Franz Lizst and Riccordi. It was Taglioni’s hideway when her fame became overwhelming for her. Her son-in-law, Prince Troubetskoy also lived here, banished from Russia after being accused of conspiring against Czar Nicholas I.

Deluxe services and a full staff on hand, including a private Chef and Butler, ensures a seamless and indulgent experience for all guests.
