The newly opened La Commenda Boutique hotel offers people a chance to live under the same roof that once housed the Knights of Templar.
La Commenda Boutique hotel
The Commenda d Osimo was the fort of the legendary Knights of Templar in the 1400s. Built upon a massive 400 hectares, this fort had its own hospital, dining hall and a place of worship. This historic fort was recently transformed into an inviting boutique hotel, offering us all an opportunity to go back in time. Once home of the Templar Knights, the historic fort now boasts of nine suites, spa, arbour, swimming pool and plenty of other modern luxuries.
The property offers gorgeous views of the green countryside.
La Commenda Boutique hotel is now owned by the Pugnetti-Laude family. The fort underwent a complete restoration, done keeping in mind the local traditions and practices. A ‘buen ritiro’, it is a hotel that respects its roots, and has thus also been certified by the renowned Italian “Residenza d’Epoca” portal.
Located ten kilometres away from the Cornero Coast, this boutique design house sits 100 meters above sea level and provides a 360° view from the rooftop, over the hills of the Marche. Each of the nine suites offer gorgeous views of the green countryside. The modern interiors are appointed with hand-picked furniture and exclusive design pieces drawn from modern art museums from around the world.
