Timeless Sanctuary of History & Tranquility

Nestled within a serene forest landscape, this extraordinary 17th-century residence forms part of a historic monastic complex — the renowned Hermitage of the Camaldolese. Recently restored with the utmost respect for its heritage, the property masterfully blends sacred history, architectural authenticity, and refined living.

The conservative restoration has brought to light the building’s original splendor, preserving every historic detail while enhancing its timeless allure. Trompe-l’œil frescoes, handcrafted terracotta floors, sandstone staircases, and exposed wooden beams all testify to centuries of devotion and craftsmanship. Each element tells a story — a silent dialogue between art, faith, and nature.

Accessible via a picturesque woodland path, the property welcomes visitors through a secluded garden and elegant portico, setting a tone of contemplative calm and exclusivity.

On the ground floor, once dedicated to worship, the spaces have been thoughtfully reimagined for refined living and entertaining. The original Marian chapel, adorned with Baroque furnishings and period icons, now forms part of a unique dining and reception area — an atmospheric blend of spiritual charm and contemporary hospitality. The former sacristy, a frescoed main hall, a spacious kitchen, and a modern bathroom complete this level, each space infused with character and authenticity.

The first floor offers four serene bedrooms, a bathroom, and a large attic above the chapel, an adaptable space perfect for conversion into an artist’s studio, library, or private retreat.

Below, the underground cellar reveals another facet of the property’s heritage — an evocative space with exposed brick vaults and a traditional infernot, ideal for wine storage or an intimate tasting room.

Surrounded by nature, with views of the garden, forest, and nearby mountains, this residence offers an unparalleled atmosphere of peace and seclusion. The architecture’s quiet strength and spiritual history make it a perfect choice for those seeking a luxury countryside retreat, a boutique hospitality project, or an exclusive private residence imbued with meaning and beauty.

Awaiting selective restoration in some areas, the Hermitage represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Italian history — a sanctuary where centuries-old craftsmanship and natural splendor converge in perfect harmony.
