Description
This magnificent property enjoys a spectacular location, set in a carefully restored Benedictine abbey, originally founded in the eighth century. Standing in the heart of the Umbrian countryside near the village of Umbriano, this charming hotel offers luxurious accommodation and fine dining in an incomparable setting.
Strategically located between the historic cities of Spoleto and Tierni, it is perfect for exploring this beautiful corner of Umbria, often called the Green Heart of Italy. Nearby landmarks and attractions include the beautiful lake of Piediluco and the spectacular artificial waterfalls of Marmore, created by the Romans.
The Abbey has a fine restaurant, the Hora Media, recalling the Benedictine origins of this beautiful abbey. The restaurant serves delicious menus based on the finest seasonal produce and authentic regional cuisine. Breakfast is of course served in the refectory, and includes a rich variety of typical Umbrian salami and cheese, freshly baked bread and pastries, home-made marmalade and much more. Guests can also take advantage of the spa and wellness centre, featuring a Finnish sauna, a hydro-massage pool and a range of treatments. For moments of quiet relaxation, the hotel has a reading room and a billiards room, while the immense panoramic garden offers spectacular views over the medieval village of Umbriano and the Valnerina valley.
Rooms
Our charming rooms mostly derive from the old cells where the Benedictine monks of the abbey used to live, or from the lodge, and every room is different from the other: some rooms have a fireplace, others wooden shelves and niches, built-in wardrobes, lobbies or loopholes.
The unique, timeless atmosphere of the abbey can be felt everywhere, in every room.
Weddings
The abbey is the ideal place, where you can celebrate your anniversaries: from weddings to Birthday parties, or any other anniversary connected to LOVE and AFFECTION. Exclusive rooms and inner spaces are at your disposal: the Romanesque cloister, the smaller cloister from 15th century, the lounge or the garden.
The garden with its splendid scenery will be the perfect setting for your celebrations and TIMELESS MEMORIES ... ... enjoy the view over the medieval village Umbriano (The oldest Umbrian village), or the nature all around the park, where a fountain with its and lucky charms fishes and turtles is waiting for you ... on the background you’ll see the apse of the church and the bell tower, with the image of St. Peter.
The abbey can accommodate up to 150 guests, who will be sitting in the old refectory or under the arches of the cloister. The inner restaurant will offer you a wide choice of interesting dishes, especially for wedding menus, with fresh flowers, elegant mise en place, taking care of any other detail you are asking for. If you prefer a catering service, we’ll be glad to suggest you the best catering services of the region.
