Property Description
A Contemporary Monastery… somewhere in Italy EREMITO is an historic mansion located in the green heart of Umbria, historic cradle of Italian spirituality, that hosts many old Monasteries and ancient Hermitages. This is the land and birthplace of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Benedict. Eremito is an Hermitage nestled on top of a hill overlooking the uncontaminated valley, surrounded by 3000 hectares of natural reserve (Unesco). Ecology, Technology, Spirituality: these are the pillars of this EcoLuxury Historic Residence restored to its original splendor: the ideal place for solo travelers and couples, who aspire to spend a spiritual holiday, in a stone building renovated with the modern green building techniques. Eremito has been designed for the man of the third millennium, enjoying a full digital detox break and the Silent Dinner. Spending a few days in the luxury of silence and peace, enjoying the simple things that are the ones that make us feel really good.
