Medieval architects, remote villages and deserted cities. These seem like the key words of a horror movie, but in fact, they can be "recipes" for the perfect hotel during the pandemic.
Since the 1990s, Italy has been the pioneer of a tourism model known as the "albergo diffuso" (distributed hotel).
This model involves installing a complete hotel in various buildings of a largely abandoned village.
Most of these secular villages have suffered from depopulation as residents move to larger cities in search of work. The same problem that has caused many Italian peasants to sell their homes for almost nothing.
Entrepreneurial hoteliers have taken these ghost towns and turned them into often luxurious accommodations, with guests who can stay in their individual buildings but then eat at a restaurant or perhaps visit a spa located in another part of the city. village.
As travel begins to return with the prospect of a vaccine, it is likely that many tourists will favor accommodation that offers the possibility of social distancing, which is also the basis of these hotels.
