LAGO WELCOME Asolo: A Medieval Gem Reimagined
Nestled in one of Italy's most enchanting villages, the Centorizzonti Suites and Apartments are a beacon of contemporary elegance amidst medieval splendour.
A Harmonious Blend of History and Contemporary Design
The LAGO WELCOME Asolo is an architectural gem. Perfectly appointed between the 14th-century Santa Caterina church and the town's northern slopes. With a garden that offers breathtaking views of the Asolo hills, it's easy to imagine lazy afternoons spent sipping local wine and soaking in the timeless beauty of the Italian countryside. Weaving a captivating narrative of past and present that invites design aficionados and history buffs alike to indulge in Asolo's unique charm.
Where Tradition Meets the Cutting-Edge
As you step into this meticulously renovated space, you're immediately struck by the seamless fusion of centuries-old craftsmanship and cutting-edge design. The rustic charm of the exposed wooden beams and the weathered, textured walls frame a rich interplay of old-world elegance and modern comfort. Juxtaposed against this rustic centrepiece, the Air sofa and shelving units seem to defy gravity. Their glass supports creating an illusion of weightlessness that adds a touch of modern elegance to the space. While the muted grey upholstery, paired with deep burgundy throw pillows, invites both relaxation and introspection, offering a refined yet approachable aesthetic.
The heart of this space is the luxurious modular Air sofa, positioned perfectly against the backdrop of a stone fireplace that harkens back to the Italian Renaissance.
A masterclass in blending heritage with contemporary living, where the modern furniture becomes an integral part of the architectural narrative.
Kitchen and Dining: A Culinary Haven
Descending the cast iron spiral staircase, with its intricate design in contrast to the organic qualities of the wooden furniture, we find ourselves in a kitchen that could easily grace the pages of any high-end interior design magazine.
A vaulted brick ceiling crowns the building's medieval roots. Arching gracefully over a 36e8 island kitchen that gleams with contemporary sophistication. Anchored by the earthy wildwood Air table that floats on air in the centre of the room. Flanked by the wildwood Air console, then framed by the room's meticulously restored plasterwork and exposed concrete floor. Creating a textural symphony that's simply irresistible.
A harmonious dialogue between the architectural elements of the space and the minimalist furnishings reflects a sophisticated understanding of proportion and contrast.
The exposed ceiling, with its rough-hewn bricks and vintage charm, grounds the room in its historical context. While the rest of the kitchen remains rooted in contemporary minimalism, offering a fresh, clean canvas for daily life.
The Suite: A Masterclass in Understatement
The pièce de résistance awaits on the first floor. Accessed via an elegant marble staircase, the suite is a masterclass in understated luxury. A muted, earthy palette dominates the space, with soft greys, pale creams, and natural wood tones creating an atmosphere of tranquility.
The exposed wooden beams of the ceiling, weathered and worn with time, contrast beautifully with the clean lines of the wardrobe. The exposed brick and patinaed walls tell their own story, adding depth and character to the room's otherwise sleek and minimalist aesthetic.
The Air bed, seemingly floating in space, promise nights of unparalleled comfort. The muted colours of the linens invite restfulness. While the diffused natural light filtering in through the window adds a soft, calming glow to this floating bed that appears to defy gravity. As the Air closet's clear glass panels transform clothing into a gallery display - making everyday dressing feel like a curated experience.
The transparent glass frame of the wardrobe creates an exhibition-like quality that elevates everyday clothing into an artful display.
This bedroom is not just a place for rest, but a statement of refined taste and an exploration of the intersection between art, history, and modern living.
The Bathroom: A Sanctuary of Design
The bathroom is another show stopping space. The washbasin is a pared back marvel. Complemented by a striking perforated volume inspired by confessional grates - a brilliant nod to the building's ecclesiastical past. This ingenious design element not only serves as a visual focal point but also creates an interplay of light and shadow that transforms the bathroom into a sanctum of tranquillity and visual intrigue.
The bathroom design embraces the idea of less being more, where the absence of excess creates a space that feels peaceful, intentional, and perfectly suited to the rituals of daily life.
The LAGO WELCOME Experience: A Destination in Its Own Right
What sets the LAGO WELCOME Asolo apart is its unwavering commitment to honouring the past while embracing the future. Every design choice, from the raw steel accents to the glass-suspended furnishings, speaks to a deep understanding of the delicate balance between preservation and innovation.
For the discerning traveller seeking more than just a place to rest their head, the Centorizzonti Suites and Apartments offer an unparalleled opportunity to immerse oneself in the rich tapestry of Italian design and history. It's not just a stay; it's an experience. One that lingers in the memory long after the journey home is completed and your luggage unpacked.
In a world increasingly dominated by cookie-cutter accommodations, LAGO WELCOME stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful, context-sensitive design. It reminds us that design richness lies not in opulence for the sake of it, but in authenticity, creativity, and a deep respect for the stories that shape our surroundings.
Nestled against a backdrop of rolling hills and distant mountains, the charming hilltop town of Asolo rises gracefully in tiered layers of warm terracotta rooftops and rustic stone façades.
