What does the Golden Crown mean?
It is the classification of Residenze d'Epoca. The Golden Crown comes after 50 monthly Quality Checks, the Double after 100 and the Triple after 150, and about one historic house in a hundred obtains it. The Silver Crown requires 20 Quality Checks a year.
Only 1 in 100 obtain the Golden Crown
The Residenze d'Epoca Certification Protocol provides for up to 150 Quality Controls, 10 verification phases and 3 months of evaluation. As a result of this strictness, so far only about 1% of the historical residences have been awarded the Golden Crown of Residenze d'Epoca, thus becoming part of the collection of the best historic houses in Italy.
