Architecture Jacopo Venerosi Pesciolini

Architect Jacopo Venerosi Pesciolini of studio Archiloop faithfully restored the original structure while bringing a contemporary feel through airy, open spaces.

Like its own Italian village, the former monastery opens up to a central piazza with a historical church—now a pared-down event space—and umbrella-topped tables for long, lingering lunches. A 30-meter pergola, custom forged by the century-old Italian blacksmith brand Lispi, stretches back to the grove where the Arboreal Archaeology Foundation has planted forgotten fruit trees that are native to Umbria.

Interior design Jacopo Venerosi Pesciolini

Inside the monastery, eight unique rooms and suites feature custom furnishings by Samarreda and Tosconova, four-poster beds by Lispi, a distinct color palette, and works by local artists.

Sprawling bathrooms feature richly colored, custom tiles made by Cotto Etrusco. Most suites come with a deep, cantilevered bathtub, sometimes set outside on the spacious loggia, where breeze-blown curtains offer shade. A separate annex building houses four more rooms and suites, each with its own garden and outdoor furnishings by Varaschin.
