Set among the rolling hills of Monteleone d’Orvieto, one of Italy’s most evocative hilltop villages, framed by medieval walls, olive groves and verdant countryside, The Monteleone is a 17-room retreat promising intentional slow living – a timeless sanctuary rooted in its surroundings, where guests are invited to pause and rediscover the beauty of simplicity.
A defining chapter of The Monteleone’s identity is its collaboration with Rome-based architecture and design firm, STUDIOTAMAT, who curated four of the retreat’s signature suites – including the Superior Garden Suite and the Deluxe Serra Suite – each conceived as an intimate micro-environment that balance craftsmanship, proportion, and emotional resonance, creating a collection of spaces that are serene, tactile, and quietly luxurious.
Guests can unwind beside its seasonal outdoor swimming pool and take in the sweeping panoramic views across the landscape, or retreat to its open-air spa to make use of the sauna and jacuzzi. Guests can also walk across the spa’s unique, sensory barefoot path, composed of natural, textural elements that are designed to stimulate circulation and encourage the practice of grounding. A Technogym-equipped fitness room allows guests to maintain wellness rituals while taking in the views and tranquillity of the setting.
