Origins of the hotel

The Hotel Villa Europa underwent many changes. It started out as a family home on 23rd March 1955 but was never lived in, as it was used from the outset as a small guesthouse, called “Pensione Vienna”. It was run by a couple, a woman from Austria and a man from Brescia, and over the course of few years, was extended to cater for the increased tourist activity of the time.
