Pellicano Made Your Dolce Vita

When timeless elegance meets Italian soul, the result is unmistakably Pellicano. With its latest acquisition of the historic La Badia complex just outside Orvieto in Umbria, Pellicano Hotels Italy once again redefines what it means to live La Dolce Vita — and this time, it’s steeped in centuries of mystique. Set to reopen in 2027, La Badia is a former Benedictine abbey dating back as far as the 6th century. Nestled in the green heart of Umbria and overlooking the enchanting hilltop city of Orvieto, the 3,400-square-meter property will be reborn under the creative direction of Marie-Louise Sciò, CEO and Creative Director of Pellicano Hotels. The vision: an immersive, emotional Italian escape where guests feel both a sense of belonging and discovery.

  • A Place to Feel Italy

    The new iteration of La Badia will feature 24 refined rooms surrounded by sculpted gardens and 30 hectares of unspoiled countryside. Designed to celebrate its Romanesque roots while embracing discreet contemporary luxury, the estate will also offer a spa, outdoor pool, tennis court, boutique, and gourmet dining — all infused with the authentic warmth of Italian hospitality. More than a hotel, La Badia embodies Pellicano's philosophy: to offer soulful luxury that respects the land, the past, and the traveler. This is a place where you sip a local wine at sunset while gazing at centuries-old stone walls, and where every detail — from the scent of lavender in the gardens to the hand-painted tiles — is a love letter to Italy. With an investment of over €43 million, this project underscores the group’s dedication to preserving and reimagining Italian heritage. It also marks a bold new chapter in Pellicano’s journey: revealing hidden gems far from the tourist map, and curating experiences that are intimate, slow, and deeply rooted in place.
