EREMITO, Hotelito del Alma, has just opened its doors. It’s an historic mansion located in the green heart of Umbria - Italian region that borders Tuscany - historic cradle of Italian spirituality, in the municipality of Parrano, an ancient medieval stone village, dominated by the castle dating from the twelfth century. 20 miles away are Orvieto and Città della Pieve, with their lovely food and wine, and rich history and culture.
Eremito is an Hermitage nestled on top of a hill overlooking the valley of the river Chiani, surrounded by 7500 acres of natural reserve. Ecology, Technology, Spirituality: these are the pillars of this Eco Luxury Historic Residence restored to its original splendor: the ideal place for those who aspire to spend a spiritual holiday in silence, in a stone building warm in winter and cool in summer, renovated with the modern green building techniques, but that fully reflects the atmosphere of the medieval monastery.
14 small rooms - the "celluzze" - with French size bed, hand-sewn hemp sheets, and a special stone sitting by the window with view; a refectory with fireplace for sharing meals; a reading room with large fireplace; a relax area carved into the rock, with a small pool of warm water, with Jacuzzi, lighted and two rooms used as turkish bath with vaulted stone ceiling…Gregorian chants as background music. In late evenings, the atmosphere becomes magical by the light of hundreds of candles and torches.
Eremito is also a Farmhouse: the ingredients of its veg monastic dishes come from the garden, the orchard, the garden of herbs, the vineyard of its estate. The need for solitude is balanced with optional activities like "light yoga" early in the morning for everyone, detoxifying walks in the woods, to the river or the waterfall, gardening; horseback riding are possible too. In this Spiritual Farmhouse there is also a little chapel. Eremito has been designed for the man of the third millennium, and its urgent need to re-establish a dialogue with himself, enjoying a full digital detox break, 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.
