If you are looking for a place to get away from the world, this ancient monastery in Italy might be the ideal spot: a spiritual retreat combined with nature, history and luxury.
This is Eremito, an ancient monastery located in Umbria (in the Italian province of Terni), surrounded by an idyllic natural environment and belonging to the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves.
This old monastery has been renovated following the standards of biological construction and bioarchitecture, which means that respect for the environment and health are two of its most looked after key principle. It has several single rooms reminiscent of the old monastery cells and all include a private bathroom.
The silence, the light of the candles and the stone walls are some of the things guests are looking for, although there is a characteristic that distinguishes Eremito from other retreats: Technological devices are not allowed on the premises. There are no televisions and they do not allow the use of mobile phones or computers. The retreat is also equipped with a spa.
