Nov. 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Bevagna, November 2010 – Charm, good taste and authenticity: L'Orto degli Angeli in Bevagna represents the ideal place to spend Christmas or await the New Year.

A flight of sky lanterns will light up the sky in traditional oriental style leaving behind the problems of last year and inviting you to make a wish for the new year.

Francesco Antonini Mongalli, owner of L'Orto degli Angeli underlines the importance of each visit to the historic residence. “We take special care in organizing every detail to make an unforgettable stay for our guests with a magical touch to these beautiful holidays.”

L'Orto degli Angeli is run by the aristocratic Angeli Nieri Mongalli family, who has lived here since 1788. The original charm of the architectural compound has been preserved throughout time, giving its guests a genuine feel for Umbria during their stay.

There are 14 rooms in the Historic Residence (5 superior rooms and 9 suites) in Palazzo Andreozzi and Palazzo Alberti.

The exclusive restaurant, “Redibis” of L'Orto degli Angeli stands on the ruins of a Roman theatre (Ist century. A.D.), a setting brought back from the past to celebrate the traditions of Umbria for fine dining. The menu has been inspired by a legacy of ancient family recipes “Le ricette degli Angeli Nieri Mongalli. Cucina e stile di vita in una famiglia signorile nell’Italia del ‘900” di Maria Luciana Buseghin “The Food of the Angels. Gastronomy & lifestyle of the Angeli Nieri Mongalli, a gentry family in the XXth Century Italy”, published by Editrice La Rocca and written by Maria Luciana Buseghin where the culinary tradition of Bevagna is enriched with recipes of European countries resulting in extraordinary affinity and good taste.

And last of all on the list of special offers is the new addition to the Antonini home, the recently opened “Forno degli Angeli” pizzeria serving true Umbria pizza, born of ancient family recipes and prepared with quality ingredients from the Residence's garden and typical products of the surrounding territory.

Discreet aristocratic charm, unique style, elegance, sobriety and simplicity are the elements which make L'Orto degli Angeli the perfect setting for an unforgettable stay.
