L’Albereta, today among the most renowned 5 star hotels in Italy, bears within itself the fascination of a long history, strongly connected to the territory of Franciacorta, a land characterized by an enchanting natural setting surrounded by the refined architecture of patrician villas, many of which were noble Brescian and Bergamasque families’ summer residences.
The past of L'Albereta belongs to this story and still show its marks nowadays, in a sort of fil rouge that outlines the destiny of this villa, always devoted to hospitality, arts and culture. This neo-Renaissance villa, dating back to the late nineteenth century, rises on the Bellavista hill and was the private home of the Lawyer Giovanni Cavalleri and his wife, Anna, a musician with a great passion for the arts, especially the figurative ones. Being a true patron, Donna Anna turned her home into a kind of Art Academy.
In the main tower, she made a “Sala della Musica” or "Music Hall", with two pianos, an organ, a transverse flute, mandolins and accordions, whereas her love for travelling brought her to know artists from every part of the world and many of them became regular guests. Cavalleri spouses’ home quickly became an important point of reference in the artistic and cultural landscape of northern Italy in the first half of the twentieth century.
