Interview with Emmanuel Lucassen, owner of Valcastagno Relais & Residence at Numana.
How and when was born the resort?
Valcastagno, so historically named for its abundance of chestnut trees in the area, is a Resort composed by Hotel & Residence, located in an oasis of relaxation and tranquility between the towns of Sirolo and Numana, on the Conero Riviera, juast a couple of kilometers away from Adriatic Sea. At Valcastagno, dipped in the regional park of the Conero, there are a Residence, set in the old barn of the eighteenth-century "Villa Virginia" and a Hotel, Valcastagno Relais, made from a farmhouse of the estate of the noble family Nembrini Gonzaga.
What are the main features of the hotel?
Valcastagno was created with the utmost respect for local traditions, maintaining the precious old materials, as the white stone of Monte Conero or the ancient terracotta handmade tiles, and combining them with the most modern technology and eco-friendly materials.
The location allows you to enjoy a vacation out of the ordinary, just 3 km from the most beautiful beaches of the Conero Riviera and the municipalities of Numana and Sirolo, and yet away from the typical summer buzz, in the green tranquility of rolling hills of the Conero Park, in an amazing naturalistic context.
One of our strengths is definitely our spa, with sauna, turkish bath, massage room and gym. We are one of the few facilities in the Conero Riviera with a spa, and therefore we are the perfect place for a relaxing and rejuvenating vacation.
How are the rooms?
Our Relais has eight rooms. We have double standard or superior rooms, which are a bit larger and more comfortable, and a triple room. All rooms are equipped with electronic access, minibar, television, telephone, safe, bathroom with jacuzzi or shower, hairdryer and cooling / floor heating.
Given the small size of our hotel, the atmosphere is friendly and the service is only bed and breakfast. For breakfast, we always try to choose the best products that our area offers, preferring organic and local products.
