Character and identity
Set in a restored 12th-century monastery on the Tuscany-Umbria border, this is an intimate 12-room property that pairs ancient stone with contemporary design: bespoke ironwork beds in bold colours by Emanuele Lispi, textured Cotto Etrusco tiles in red and turquoise, and a few upper-floor suites with curtained outdoor tubs. The 2.5-acre estate holds vegetable gardens, lawns, an outdoor pool, and a deconsecrated chapel used for yoga. The restaurant brings Middle Eastern and Asian flavours to rural Umbria (think ramen in Umbrian beef broth with smoked duck), and the owner-hosts run the place with a warm, community-minded register that pulls in Italians and expats from nearby towns.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate couples and solo travellers who want a low-key, host-led country stay over a polished grand-estate experience. Strong fit for dog owners, food-curious guests open to non-Italian cooking, and anyone keen to be folded into local life via truffle hunts, pottery classes, and vineyard visits.
Should look elsewhere:
Families with younger children are out (14-plus only). Those wanting a full destination spa, multiple restaurants, or the scale and ceremony of Reschio or Borgo Santo Pietro should book those instead. Not the pick if you need beach or walkable town life at the door.
Bottom line
What defines a stay here is the host-led intimacy: 12 rooms, two affable owners, and a community that actually shows up for Sunday lunch and pop-up markets. Spend the money if you value design, food, and being drawn into a place over resort-style breadth. Book an upper-floor suite for the outdoor tub, and aim for summer to use the pool and garden.
