What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The 19 rooms are split between the historical structure and the modern addition; the former are heavier on antique atmosphere, the latter more modern and minimalist.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The medieval village of Armenzano is a mile away, and Assisi sits ten kilometres across Monte Subasio Regional Park.
The rooms
Original stone quarters feature rustic period furnishings, while rooms in the newer wing lean into restrained, modern lines.
The infinity pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor infinity pool sits on a lawn terrace overlooking the wooded slopes of the Subasio valley.
The spa
A dry Finnish sauna is reserved for private sessions, and therapists use therapeutic essential oils for massages.
At the table
Ristorante Armentum occupies an ancient stone sheepfold with timber beams, serving homemade pasta and produce from the working estate.
How it began
Giuseppe Sirignani bought the tenth-century ruins in 1977, spending seven years restoring the stone hospice before opening in 1983.
