The hospitality model developed by Eremito integrates sustainability not only into its management and architectural decisions, but also into its relationship with the local area and the local organisations involved in the project. From the outset, the establishment has adopted solutions aimed at reducing consumption and environmental impact — including the use of renewable energy, vegetarian cuisine and a focus on waste reduction — incorporating them into a system that, wherever possible, prioritises local suppliers and partnerships.
Within this framework, sustainability also translates into building relationships with local service providers, food producers and local resources, strengthening the link between the guest experience and the context in which it unfolds. The choice of a simple, consistent dining offering, in line with the project’s principles, is accompanied by a focus on local supply chains and procurement methods compatible with responsible management.
The experience offered to guests, based on silence, simplicity, a digital detox and restraint, is thus part of a broader vision in which environmental sustainability and the local context go hand in hand. Elements such as silent dining, reduced consumption and the simplicity of the stay are not merely a matter of identity, but help to define a coherent model of hospitality, capable of engaging with the surrounding area and its local resources.
A unique place to rediscover essentiality and immerse yourself in peace: Eremito, an ancient medieval hermitage located in Parrano (Terni), in front of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This extraordinary retreat has been restored faithfully respecting the original 13th-century structure and following the principles of bioarchitecture and green building. Hermit retains the austerity and charm of ancient monasteries, enriched by the contemporary mysticism of new luxury, in which ecology and spirituality come together in perfect harmony. Hermitage is the ideal place to reconnect with life's essential priorities, often lost in the daily chaos.
One of the pioneers of “Digital Detox” hotels in Italy, Eremito presents itself as a humble yet refined dwelling, the recipient of numerous awards. Guests can stay in the “Celluzze,” 18 ancient monastic cells that have been completely renovated. These understated and essential spaces combine the elegance of the past with modern touches, creating an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere. The restaurant offers a vegetarian and vegan set menu, inspired by Umbrian culinary tradition. The dishes, prepared with the freshest vegetables from the organic garden, seasonal fruits and homemade products such as bread, pasta, jams and desserts, are a tribute to authenticity. During the winter, meals are served in the cozy Refectory, illuminated by the warm light of a large stone fireplace, while in spring and summer people eat under the garden pergola, surrounded by nature.
The relaxation area, carved entirely in the rock, is a corner of rare beauty. Here it is possible to practice yoga, meditation and receive rejuvenating massages. The area includes two steam baths with stone walls, a heated tub with chromotherapy and whirlpool, offering an unparalleled wellness experience. Hermit is not just a place to stay, but a destination for spiritual regeneration.
