Parrano, Umbria, Italy
Eremito
Monastic. Radically reduced. Spiritual.
A hotel that doesn't really want to be a hotel. The Eremito was conceived as a "Laico Monastero" — a secular monastery in the hills of Umbria. No television, no WiFi, no distraction. Just silence, stone, and time.

“Silence is the luxury — no television, no WiFi, no distraction. The Celluzze (monk's cells) are deliberately stripped back: a bed, a window, a view of nature.”
Our take
Why we love it
The most radical concept in hospitality: no WiFi, no TV, no distraction — this isn't an absence, it's the offering.
The Celluzze — small rooms inspired by monastic cells — create an intimacy that no luxury suite in the world can replicate.
The communal dinner, sometimes eaten in silence — dining as ritual, not as a restaurant.
Natural stone, wood, iron — the materials feel timeless. The building seems as though it has always been here.
Umbria, remote: no immediate surroundings, no infrastructure — maximum distance from everyday life.
Dining
Food & Drink
Vegetarian cuisine, fixed meal times, communal dining — sometimes eaten in silence. Food here is part of the concept, not merely a service.
Spa & Sport
Wellness & Activities
No conventional spa. Instead: a steam bath, simple wellness areas — and silence itself as the wellness offering. Meditation, retreat, reading.
Your time here
What your days could look like
Wake without an alarm. Breakfast in quiet. A walk through the Umbrian hills. Reading. Writing. Thinking. Dinner together — perhaps in silence. Sleep, deeply.
Location
The Area
Parrano, Umbria, Italy
Umbria is less touristic than Tuscany — gentle hills, forests, small villages. The Eremito sits in complete isolation: no immediate surroundings, no infrastructure. Maximum distance from everyday life.
People
The Hosts
Founded by Marcello Murzilli with a clear vision: a place for retreat, quiet, and reduction. Intentional living — deceleration, focus on what matters.
