History

In few years the group opened hotels in all the main Italian cities: Bologna, Naples, Catania, Rome, Venice and others in Milan, where there are 7 hotels now, including one near Malpensa airport.
In the meantime Tuscany has been a fertile territory where UNA Hotels opened its first resorts in Mugello like UNA Poggio dei Medici and the restored Villa Le Maschere, then in Versilia, where the last opening is UNA Hotel Forte dei Marmi.
