Built stone by stone upon a derelict house, Eremito took four years to create.

Adhering to the 13th-century art of Italian masonry, 130,000 stones were used in its construction. Despite its traditional appearance, Eremito is technologically and sustainably up-to-date. The electricity is generated by a photovoltaic system and while it satisfies the needs of the hotel, the main source of lighting is still candlelight in keeping with the property’s retrospective spirit.

Interior design Marcello Murzilli

A focus on time, peace, and contemplative spaces has resulted in an interior style where natural materials take precedence...

where furnishings are few but comfortable, and where a reliance on candlelight creates the right atmosphere. Taking inspiration from Umbrian monasteries, the design can be described as “Franciscan minimalism”.
