The Elizabeth Unique Hotel is the newest treasure in Rome

Nestled discreetly among the golden cobbled streets and time-worn terracotta hues of Rome"s historic city center, Elizabeth Unique Hotel has just opened with grandeur worthy of the locale. Located just a short walk from the Spanish Steps, in a restored 17th-century palazzo, the 33-room property is an homage to Roman classicism and the masters of yesteryear, yet a firm contemporary imprint reveals a snapshot of modern-day Rome. Here, a centuries-old townhouse of dramatic scale boasts wide-arched hallways, hand-crafted workmanship, stand-out service, and an art collection curated by a neighborhood gallery. www.designhotels.com/elizabeth-unique-hotel

Italian town Ollolai sells $1 homes to lure new residents

Ever dreamed of owning a home in a pretty Italian village? The news you've been waiting for has finally arrived.You can now buy one for just over a dollar.Ollolai, a destination in the mountain region of Barbagia on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, is selling hundreds of abandoned homes for just €1 ($1.2).It's not the first Italian town to try the gimmick, but it seems to be the first to live up to the promise. It's also got the beauty and history needed to draw people in.The real estate bonanza comes with a catch, though. The 200 stone-built dwellings up for grabs are in poor condition and buyers must commit to a refurbishment within three years -- which will likely cost about $25,000.Behind the sell-off is a plan to rejuvenate a community at risk of becoming a ghost town. In the past half century, Ollolai's population has shrunk from 2,250 to 1,300, with only a handful of babies born each year.
