About Eremito

Eremito is seriously special. A 14th-century monastery surrounded by a UNESCO-protected nature reserve, it’s an adults-only sanctuary perfect for anyone looking for a safe and welcoming space for soul searching.

Nestled in the heart of a forest and completely off grid (with no TV, Wi-Fi, or mobile signal), this is a place find equilibrium. The retreat is the brainchild of Marcello Murzilli, who felt a strong connection with the place and wanted to create something wonderful. After four years of works and restoration Eremito was born in 2013, successfully reviving its authentic original splendour.

Eremito is one of the first digital detox hotels in Italy, with sustainability at its core. It is a B Corp certified and a Società Benefit. It uses solar panels and a photovoltaic system to convert sunlight to electricity, and its main source of lighting is candlelight. Facilities include a beautiful relaxation area with a pool and Turkish bath, a yoga studio and a stone-walled cave for meditation.

Eremito is an adults-only retreat. 

Wellness at Eremito

One of Italy’s first digital detox retreats, Eremito places sustainability at the heart of its philosophy. The property is powered by solar panels and a photovoltaic system that converts sunlight into electricity, while candlelight provides much of the illumination, making this a seriously atmospheric place for wellness experiences.

Days at Eremito follow the natural rhythm of the house rather than a set schedule. Begin with gentle yoga or guided meditation, enjoy readings in the chapel, wander through the surrounding reserve or relax in the heated pool, Turkish bath and jacuzzi. In the evening, gather for a candlelit dinner in silence, accompanied by Gregorian chant. Nothing is compulsory – simply follow your own rhythm.

The relaxation area is spectacular, with rock carvings, stone ceilings and soul-stirring Gregorian chants that serve as background music. Here, you’ll find a warm water pool, Jacuzzi and a Turkish bath, as well as a fully equipped yoga room which overlooks the unspoiled surrounding nature reserve.

Massage treatments are available at Eremito but must be pre-booked before arrival.

What’s on the menu?

Eremito is a working farmhouse, so most of the ingredients, including herbs, come straight from the organic gardens, orchards and vineyards. Food is simple and healthy, with recipes following the monastic Mediterranean tradition. It’s a fixed vegetarian menu, with homemade breads, pasta, cakes and jams. Be sure to try hot, sweet Melemito – Eremito's signature beverage. Wine is served during mealtimes.

Just so you know, dinner is enjoyed in silence for inner reflection.

Food
Meals
During winter, all meals are served in Refectory – a communal room with a large stone fireplace. When the weather warms up, you can dine outdoors surrounded by trees and woodland.

Your accommodation at Eremito

Nothing about this retreat is ordinary, including its rooms. There are 18 rooms in total, once used by hermits. Simple and comfortable, they’re housed in a stone building that keeps guests warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Venue can take up to 24 guests at one time. 

Celluzze room
Compact and cosy, these rooms come with a French bed (large double), with bedding made of hand-made hemp yarn, a private bathroom and a stone desk. The desk is located next to a window which overlooks either the green valley or the rose garden. Rooms have no TVs or Wi-Fi, but there is underfloor heating in the colder months.

Things to See and Do

Slow activities
Eremito is a place to stay, slow down and simply be. There are no excursions or organised outings – and this is entirely intentional. Spend your days walking through the surrounding 3,000 hectares of UNESCO-protected reserve, reading, practising, resting and reconnecting with yourself. Here, leaving to visit something else would take away from the experience.

What We Love

  • Don't miss Eremito's signature beverage 'Melemito, a hot and sweet drink
  • In late evenings, the atmosphere becomes truly magical when hundreds of candles and torches are lit
  • A cave and chapel are available for those needing an intimate place for meditation or prayer

Who Should Go

  • Eremito is designed with solo travellers in mind. Most of the Celluzze are created for one person, making solo travel not just welcome, but the norm.
  • Those who want an 'ashram' type of experience 
  • Anyone searching for solitude, digital detox and being completely 'off-grid'

LOCATION

Eremito is located in the green heart of Umbria, an Italian region bordering Tuscany. Considered to be the historic cradle of Italian spirituality, it’s a lush area peppered with historic monasteries and ancient hermitages. The retreat is nestled on top of a hill, overlooking 3,000 hectares of natural reserve and the River Chiani.

There are three airports to choose from if you’re flying in. Perugia is around one-and-a-half hours away, while Rome and Florence are both a two-hour drive away. Coming by train? The nearest station is Fabro Ficulle, 30 minutes from the retreat. Private transfers can be arranged on request.

WHEN TO GO

Italy tends to be mild all year round. The hottest months are July and August. The best time to visit is from April to June and then September and October when it’s warm but not as muggy.
