16th century monastery or....Chocohotel?

This morning, we were heading for Perugia - looking forward to staying at Umbria's first organic farm with accommodation in a 16th century Benedictine monastery. Wrought iron staircases, ceiling frescos and hand made pasta - it had it all. All except staff. After several attempts to phone and listening to answering machine in Italian, we gave up. Desperate for a room (loo!), I ring the next entry in Lonely Planet Italy - guess what? Chocohotel has a room!


Yes, we are now staying in the ONLY hotel in Italy (the world?) dedicated entirely to chocolate. Note the hand painted wall fresco of a pot of chocolate placed tastefully above the brown plastic chocolate block headboard - it just doesn't get much classier than this...


In case you were wondering, this is a bathtub in the foyer of Chocohotel, full of chocolate. Have just caught up with Nikki, Brett, Hattie and Nellie in Orvietto - arrived in most beautiful villa for the next week - pics coming tomorrow.
