Il Romitorio di Monte Tezio

in the Municipality of Perugia, this ancient structure provides an ideal centre for visiting the principal art cities of central Italy, such as Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, Todi, Cortona, Arezzo, Siena, Spoleto, Orvieto and the Chianti area. It is also the perfect starting-point for discovering mediaeval hamlets and small villages which are less well-known but no less rich in attraction. The structure of the Convent has not altered over the centuries. The old cells – now enlarged and provided with all modern comforts – are at the disposal of our guests. In the ancient Church (built on a block of quartz the positive characteristics of which were evidently already known in the thirteenth century) guests may read or meditate. In the former stables, now transformed into a small and atmospheric restaurant, visitors may enjoy good wine and savour the typical dishes of rural vegetarian cuisine. The terraces located in the vicinity of the structure offer wonderful spots for repose, or for listening to the thousand voices of nature.
