A Sacred Space for Transformation

Nestled in the heart of Umbria's rolling hills, Eremito Hotelito occupies a 13th-century monastery that has been lovingly restored into one of Italy's most extraordinary wellness destinations. This isn't just accommodation—it's a complete departure from modern life.

The moment you arrive, you'll surrender your phone and step into a world where time moves differently. Stone walls that have witnessed centuries of prayer and meditation now embrace yoga sessions, candlelit dinners, and profound conversations under star-filled skies.

Perfect for retreat leaders seeking an authentic Italian experience that goes beyond the typical luxury hotel, Eremito offers your guests the rare gift of true disconnection and spiritual renewal.
